Hello everyone! I thought it would be interesting to see each others book goals for the year! Currently my goal is to read 40 books in 2017! I have read 18 books so far so only 22 more to go!

Happy reading everyone!

My reading goal is 20. It's pretty low because usually I don't read fast and not many books. But this year, I'm on fire. I read 15 books in 3 months so probably I'll increase my goal.

woohoo good job!!

You guys are doing great!
My goal is 50 books, I'm 1 book behind on schedule with my 12 books read.

my goal for 2017 is 300. I know it seems like a lot but last year I read 496 books (thank you wobble) so I decided that 300 was doable. :)

and so far I have read 110, I am ahead 31 books.

My goal is 35 but I always set my goals low because I hate the feel of *having* to read a certain amount, particularly if I'm behind at the end of the year. I'm already at 31 so anything after I reach my goal is just bonus reading.

I set my goal at 100 this year. I'm at 38 (39 if you count a beta read I can't yet add to my bookshelves *wink wink*), so I'm feeling pretty good 'bout that. Might even take a few weeks off reading soon to write the last chapter or two of one of my WIPs and do some editing. Maybe... so many temptations in my TBR!!

Too many. My goal is to try to beat what I read last year, which was 399 books. I read a lot of manga/graphic novels, so that is in part why my number is so high. I'm at 115 right now. I will be going back to grad school this fall, so there is the very real possibility that I won't make that number. I am 2 classes away from graduating, and I need to get it finished.

My reading goal is 75, I am currently at 47, last year it was 100, but after summer I am changing from education and I expect to be a lot busier than, so therefore it is less than the year before :0

I read 150 last year and needless to say I'm still burnt out lol. I went for an easier goal and more realistic with 120.

I'm having a hard time getting into any books lately, though.

Reading slumps are the worst! When I feel that way I switch genres and go for something easy and light. :)

Way to go! Your over 50% done!! :D

Hehe. Yeah I've switched up genres and styles, still nothing. I need that outstanding book to revive my brain, but I'll soldier on.

I've read 28 so far. 3 behind!

You like a few genres According to your bio, what's your fav?

Read Beautiful Disaster off your TBR, that's good book. Loved it by the end. I did a short review on GR if u want to see what I thought.

Sorry, lol, didn't mean for that to sound like a command. I meant thAt it is a good book to get you off a reading slump. :D

I want to read 38, which is quite a big goal for me, since I fall into reading slumps regularly. I am currently 2 books behind, but try to listen o audio books when cleaning and doing other stuff! :)

I want to read 30! Ive been in a reading slump and it sucks...this is not my year for reading.

I'm aiming for 300. Last year was a huge year for me with 443 books. I'm behind by 27 books, but Tower Teams starts May 4th and I'm expecting to catch up. My husband and I listen to a lot of audiobooks together, which is keeping me from blazing through my books...not that I'm complaining! I love being able to share books with him! I just read much faster if I'm reading an actual print or ebook.

Too bad you fall into slumps regularly :( Maybe you should try switching genres, like Thegenreminx said, it usually helps me out of a reading slump!

30 books is great! It's still more than the average person reads :) And quality over quantity right? ;)

Wow, such a big goal! :) How cool you listen to audiobooks together and apparently have the same reading taste :D

I hope to read 200. I have read 60 so far. Last year I read 213, so I know I can do it.

My reading goal is 100 but I only read 9 books so far. I'm very behind. I might change it to 50 or even 30 by the time I get to summer and it's still low

My goal is 100, but when I started my goal was 10. Life doesn't always go the way you plan, but thats okay

My goal is 65 but I'm planning to read more than that if I could. :)

Wow! Everyone has such large goals! I only wish I could read 200 in a year. But my goal is 35 and I am currently at 12. And I'm pretty happy with my pacing so far. :) I'm hoping I can pass my goal this year!

My goad is 350. I have to say that I do read a lot of children's books as I have grandchildren. I am retired as well as a recent widow, so I have a lot of time to read.

I agree completely. I read a book a lot faster than listening to them. I love that you and your husband listen to them together.

My goal is 450 books and I have read 161 so far. I have to say that I am retired, a recent widow as well as a grandmother. This means I have a lot of time to read and I also read a lot of children's books to review. They add up quickly.

As many as I can. My current goal is 45 books, but I'm definitely hoping I can get in at least 70-80 by the end of this year. :)

Compared to everyone else's I have a really low goal, but I take around a week and a half per book (I'm a slow reader, I know), because unfortunately I'm really busy with school. And also because I fall into reading slumps pretty dang easily. BUT IT HASN'T HAPPENED THIS YEAR. YET.

don't get down on yourself. Some people take even longer than that to read a book. Just be happy that you are finishing them!!

That is an amazing goal! You are knocking it out of the park! Kudos to you. :)

It is definitely not about quantity. Read what you enjoy, the number does not matter. Remember than some of us read books as our occupation. So we will have higher goals and higher numbers. :)

I finally got my husband to listen to audio books BUT he only listens to non-fiction books. It is a start I suppose :)

I keep seeing this topic and every time I think "I should set a goal". Of course, I have absolutely no idea which titles would catch my attention, which ones I'd be able to buy etc. Also, whenever we write, I try to stay as far away from books as possible, because I don't want to accidentally copy anything from anyone.

As for quality, I've read a few books I didn't love, and it was incredibly hard. As an author, I really shouldn't say that, but some not so brilliant books make me mad. So mad, I can complain for weeks.
Okay, I'll say 20, but let's make it 20 great 5 star titles.
Surprisingly, I've only read 2 so far (yeah things are going slow this year) and one was a 3-star read.

I'm at 43 of 55, since I didn't know how I was gonna feel this year.
I'll increase my goal.

I've also listened to my first audio-book this year yay!

My goal is 85, but I will likely read about a hundred.

My goal is 50 and I've already read 48!!
So am thinking of changing it to 100

My goal is 200 but I am thinking of changing it to 500. I've never actually tried tracking how many books I read, so I want to push myself. What do you think, is 500 too much? how about 400?. Also I am starting right now, on april 15. I actually just joined goodreads, though i have been using it a lot. Also, out of curiosity, does anyone here use wattpad? Also I never listen to audiobooks, are they good?

I think that's a really high number but if you think you can do it, go for it! I never listened to an audiobook but I feel like I wouldn't really like it so I never had. So yea! But Welcome to ÀÏ»¢»úÎÈÓ®·½·¨ and this group! :)

Hello, I'm Kels. My goal this year is 200 but I'm currently at 108 so pretty sure I'll get there! Last year I read 229 books so I think I can do 200. We'll see. :)

I don't know about whether a goal of 500 is high or not!!
But yeah I also used to read wattpad a lot and I've never listened to an audio book and never really felt inclined to read one !!
Anyway Welcome to ÀÏ»¢»úÎÈÓ®·½·¨!! You'll find it addictive!!
Happy Reading!!

I'm thinking about 100 but I'll see if I can manage;)

I set my goal to 50, which may be the most books I've read since I was, like, 10 and obsessed with the Babysitters' Club series to the point that I was reading 3 a day, plus the Dear America series, the Royal Diaries, etc. I'd basically come home from school, read an entire book, do homework, read another book, etc.

And I still had time to go to the beach, swim in the pool, and hang out with my best friend (who was and still is a fan of books).

I'm at 14 completed so far, which ÀÏ»¢»úÎÈÓ®·½·¨ tells me is right on target, but I worry that this depressive spell I've had for the better part of a month or so may drag on and negatively impact my ability to complete my goal.

These are all great goals! Nice to see a wide variety! It is always amazing to see what we can read in a year's time. I know that I am always blown away by the end of a year. :D

LOL... everyone has attainable goals while I choose 100 books to read and only marked down 3... oops, and I forgot what books I read.

Thanks! :). Now got to find the books I read...

Remember how I was at 43 of 50? Now I'm at 73 of 80. Still want to have a goal of 100 but surpassing it would be even better!
I think I've done a good job of taking advantage of small blocks of minutes to slowly progress, seeing as how I've been so busy! :D
