Last year I read 202% of my Goodreads Reading goal, reading 81/40 books. This year I plan on setting a higher goal of 60 books while also concentrating on the quality of the books being read. This year I will not be afraid to DNF books that I’m not finding interesting, enjoyable or worthwhile. Hopefully than means that any books completed for this year’s challenge will be at least 3 ★ or above.
I’m hoping to concentrate more on fiction and less on non-fiction, keeping the joy of reading alive. Last year I got bogged down in too many “self-help” books that were repetitive and unfortunately not that helpful. So this year I want to read for the love of it! To feel all the feels and then some.
