Jess Michaels 2019 Reading Challenge discussion

There's no goal too big or small! But share with us here how many books you'd like to read this year! You can always adjust up or down as the year goes on!

My goal is 40. I was way under last year. Had some family stuff and wrote a LOT. But this year I really want to hit this. :)

I’m lowering my goal to 100 since I can’t seem to get to 125 😂

50 is my goal again but I have another goal of getting more sleep and as I read in bed at night my goals may be incompatible

My goal is 150 again. Hopefully I can complete it this year.

My goal is 250 this year I fell short of 300 so I felt I should lower the goal a little bit.

In 2017 my goal was 200 books and I exceeded that. I read 222. However, I found I wasn't savoring them as I'd like. So, I've decided to read fewer and enjoy them more! This year's goal is 150.

Such a good point! Savoring is a good thing!!

I think so. I had almost begun to feel that I was just reading for a goal and not reading for enjoyment. I have a blog where I post my reviews, so I will still read a lot -- I'll just not read quite as many. Didn't want it to start to feel like a 'job' rather than a recreation.

Last year I did 301 books but I started working a 2nd job and it was HARD to get in those last few books at the end...So this year I will be setting it for 150 :-)

I'm going to go with 55 since I was a tad too ambitious last year and didn't quite meet my goal. Lol.

My 2017 goal was 348 which I exceeded so I'm going with the same this year.

You guys are all amazing!! I'm so excited to see all the books we're going to read this year!!

My goal this year is 50!! I didn't really stick with my goal last year and didn't do a good job of keeping track of when I started/finished a book. So that's where I'll start this year!

My goal is 100, a nice round number.

Going with 50- I try to read every day, but sometimes it’s in short bursts. I am glad to be part of this group!

I almost met my goal of 100 last year, but just didn't have as much time to read as I'd intended. Hoping to hit 125 this year!

My goal is 104, so two books a week.

My goal is 100

My 2018 goal is 200 books

My goal is 20 this year but I hope to exceed that number.

Love all these goals, big and small! I'm excited to see what you all read as you check in!

My goal is 50, I’m not sure if this is high or low for me this year lol

My goal is 65 books since I beat my goal of 60 books for 2017 by 2.

My goal is 75 again, I read 73 last year including three Diana Gabaldon novels ;)

I've set my goal to 127 books.

My goal this year is 150 books. :)

My goal is 60 since I missed my goal last year.

For the past two or three years, I had lowered it to 100 because I hadn't been making my 125 goal. However, I've also not made my 100 book goal either but I will persist!

Going for 100 books in 2018. Happy reading all! :)

100 again
