Jess Michaels 2019 Reading Challenge discussion

It's that time again to set a new goal for the Jess Michaels 2019 Reading Challenge! Check in here with how many books you're going to try to read this year!

My goal this year is 50 books. I swear I will do better at reading this year. I miss it.

I’m going to try and do 100!

Nice!!!

I reached my goal for 2018 of 75 books read! It was a struggle as so many life changes happened this year. I'm going to read 52.

NICE! One a week, perfect!!

Last year I set my goal at 150 and I read 252...so I’m thinking this year I will set it at 200.

My goal is 52 books this year.

After struggling to meet any goal for the last few years, I set myself a soft goal of just 12 books for 2018. I also made myself get over my weird hang up of not counting erotica and graphic novels.

I wound up going over triple my goal.

So I've set my goal for 25 books in 2019. But I'm curious to see if I'll be able to double it...

I was so happy to have exceeded my 2017 goal of 75. So I will be working my way through 85 this year!

My goal this year is 75. There are some major re-reads of series books I will be doing, so I think this will be attainable.

First time trying this but I think I can reach a goal to read 100 books this year.

Sticking with my 200 book goal again. Went over by 60 in 2018. :)

This is my first time setting a reading goal. I read every day but never kept up with how many books I read in a year. I am setting my goal at 50. Will be interested to see how many I actually read!

I did not come close to my goal last year but I am going to make it this year. 200 is in my sight.

I am going to try for 150 books again this year. Hopefully I make it this year.

Jess, are we going to do this again for 2020?

I don't know. Maybe not. I feel very stressed by creating a goal and I did a bad job of staying on top of the challenge here. I encourage you guys to create your own topic if you'd like. But for 2020, I think I need to take a break from doing a group challenge here on Goodreads.

No worries!
