Well, I've taken the plunge and upped my reading goal on Goodreads. I'll #BlameItOnLitsy and all the great comics and short novels I've been adding into my reading this year. Hopefully I won't regret it later....
It's surreal to remember how many years I set it at 100 but couldn't reach it and thought to myself, how do people do that?

carys14 I was overzealous and set mine to 100 this year since I did surprisingly reach 100 last year. I am currently 8 books behind HOWEVER at one point I was 11 behind so there is still time.....I think. 😊 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @carys14 It sounds like you are slowly catching up either way, so don't give up. But every year is different and it's so random, some books are just much longer than others, and I've definitely noticed since I picked up a few comic recommended here on Litsy it's swelled my numbers a bit. 8y
carys14 Well one thing that is slowing me down is Fiery Cross. Good lord that book is long. I am doing it on audio. All FIFTY-FIVE AND A HALF HOURS! 8y

SealedWithInk Wow 😮 well sending lots of good luck your way! My goal of 70 now looks a bit small 😛 8y
Ashley_Nicoletto Way to go! I'm reading my 100th book of the year right now! I definitely remember the years where I didn't understand how people read so many books. Congrats to you! 8y
TheCanuckReader My goal is 100 and I'm still trying but behind! 8y
nickimags Fantastic! I upped mine to 80 a while ago and I'm ahead at 53. 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @carys14 Yea, that book's one reason the goal should probably be in pages and not books. That book's the length of about 3 regular books. I remember thinking that the year I read Game of Thrones. 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Ashley_Nicoletto I hit my 100 a few weeks ago, and let it sit at that, and then I thought there's 5 months left, almost half the year yet, I can up it by half of what I read the first half of the year....right? #BookishReasoning 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @nickimags You're in great shape then, less then 1/2 your goal left and almost half the year left! 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @TheCanuckReader One book at a time, they add up fast...and don't be afraid to put in some smaller books too.😉 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @SealedWithInk Don't feel bad, I set mine at 100 for years and never made it. I think the first year I actively counted them I hit about 40, and I know there were years before Goodreads where I read way less than that. But every year it crept up a tiny bit more, and it wouldn't be as high as it is now if it wasn't also counting comic books, and short stories etc. 8y
