This past year had me in such a reading slump, I'd like to read at least 250 books this year.

2017 Reading Goals

I'm going to place it at a tentative 5.

It's not as impressive as the goals of others, but I never completed my "ten books in 2016" goal so I am halving that number for 2017.

I would really like to decuple (x10) that number and say I read 50 books this time next year. We'll see!

On the bookshelf
1. Sarah's Key
2. Life of Pi
3-6. Divergent Trilogy and Four

Reading in progress
1. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

*Updated January 1st*

At least 100 books. I didn't manage to in 2016 and I'm sad.

And I want at least 50 of those to be from my TBR as of January 1, 2017

that's a bingo · 01-01-2017, 07:29 AM

^ One of my goals is to kill off at least half of my TBR pile in my room.

~wanderlust~ · 01-01-2017, 08:25 AM

Updated my post to reflect my bookshelf and what I am currently reading.

I can see I've already pushed past five. But I am only on 1/6 right now, so we will see.

I was too. I think it's been a few months since I've actually read a book.

This year I'm going to keep it low and simple and go with 50 books.

Goal is to read 25 books, including 7 classics. Keeping it low to start off with, because I want to tackle a few longer books... and maybe change it to a higher goal later on.
