Reading Challenge/Goals for 2024

[willowsnn3]

Welcome to our Reading Challenge/Goals for 2024!
The words Challenge & Goals are just an option as this is really just a thread where we all can list & keep track of what we have read & also share our reviews (if you want) so others can get suggestions & add to their list. So many books, so little time.....
Again, I will try my best to keep up with everyone's count so if you want to join in again just reply with your goal for 2024. And again, there is no pressure to feel like you have to even have a goal to join. Just list your books & reviews.
I have got so many good referrals/suggestions from the past years that I will never get to the end of my list.
Happy Reading!

[MGMmjl]

Thank you for hosting the thread again for 2024, @willowsnn3 ! I slightly exceeded my goal this year. I will make 32 my goal for 2024.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Thank you for hosting this thread again!

My goal will be 80 books.

 

[RangerPooh]

I’ll start with a goal of 25 books, and will increase as needed.

 

[KevM]

Thanks for doing this again.

I’ll start with a goal of 104.

 

[luvmarypoppins]

I will lower my goal to 25 this year as I don’t know what my future health issues will be.
That’s about 2 books a month which seems realistic and attainable.

 

[OKW8297]

Hi! Thank you so very much for doing this again! I am going to set a goal for 25 this year!

 

[#1hoosierfan]

Thank you SO much for doing the thread again this year. I love it. I far exceeded my goal last year. I was probably 15-20 over what I even reported. I had 2 surgeries in 2023 which knocked me out for about 6 weeks total. Lots of time to read….

I’m going to set my goal at 40 this year.

 

[Wood Nymph]

Thanks for hosting this thread.

I will keep my goal of 30 books for 2024.

 

[melk]

I’ll lower my goal to 30 this year.
Thanks again for hosting the thread. I get so many book recommendations from this, I love it!

 

[DisneyHardin]

Last year my goal was 26 and I read 32, so I'll up my goal this year to 32.

 

[Needsanap]

a quick question. Do audiobooks count?

 

[KevM]

a quick question. Do audiobooks count?

Absolutely

 

[Simba's Mom]

Last year I had a goal of 56, and although I reached my goal, it got a little hectic near the end of the year. So this year I'm going to lower it a little to 52. If I have more time, can I increase my goal during the year?

 

[Kirby]

I'll join in this year. I've done so in the past but not for a couple of years now. I've always enjoyed seeing what everyone is reading.

I'm not going to set a goal this time. I can say it will be more than 11 since I'm in a book club and we read one each month January through November.

 

[jlud57]

Going to go with my goal of 20 again this year, didn't quite reach it last time- thanks for doing this again!

 

[willowsnn3]

So glad to see all you guys back again!
@luvmarypoppins hope all your healh issues improve soon.
@#1hoosierfan hoping your surgeries went well & resolved the reasons for having them
@Needsanap yes, audiobooks are countable!
@Simba's Mom feel free to adjust your goal as needed. I lowered mine the last 2 years but went over both times.

 

[Allison Joy]

I exceeded last year's goal by a bit, and am starting off with an easy read that I already have a decent start on, so I'll go with 18. Not quite ready to go for 20 yet, I don't think.
