Does anyone else have reading goals?

What did you read? 📚

xobreex3.bsky.social•161 days ago

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It was a good read.

coachmegjade.bsky.social•161 days ago

Ah! Haven’t read that one. Will have to check it out.

auggie56.bsky.social•160 days ago

I finished 2 but I started then in 2024 so does that
only count as one? 😬

I’ve started 4 books! 😅 My goal is 30 books this year. Last year I hit 19.. and almost all of them were in the second half of the year after I got my Kobo e-reader. One of the books I started is Wool, the first of the Silo series, and it’s a long one!

Good luck! 🙂📚

Confession. When I read the first part if this post I thought you meant writing a book. Then you said 25 and I thought WOW, that’s ambition. I’m still impressed with reading that many. Good goal!

xobreex3.bsky.social•161 days ago

😂 I just have to read 2 books a month + 1 additional. Let's go! Thanks!

Nothing concrete, but my goal is basically to not stop reading. I used to be a bookworm when I was younger, and at some point just stopped completely. Now I've recently rediscovered reading and I'm as obsessed as ever, and hope I never pull away again.

xobreex3.bsky.social•161 days ago

That's a good plan!

I've ordered a good biography of Beethoven. While reading I will listen to his 9 symphonies at the point in his life where he wrote them.

xobreex3.bsky.social•161 days ago

Very cool idea!

modest.
read one of the books I have lying around.
begin, the rest is easy.
(its a working hypothesis)

I need to write at least on book equivalent. Currently I have 3 or 4 books, mostly on grief, to be read.

classicnal.bsky.social•161 days ago

I use Good Reads to build my reading lists and keep track of books I want to read and am reading.

xobreex3.bsky.social•161 days ago

Same!

jstudleyphoto.bsky.social•161 days ago

Love Good Reads. Then I use Thrift Books to order used.

I don’t have “goals” but we were just talking about this at work today. Ever since I was about 12 yrs old I have never not been reading a book. As soon as I finish one I pick up the next one. We’re setting up a lending library at work 📚 I’m very happy about this!

xobreex3.bsky.social•161 days ago

Sounds awesome! I didn't do much reading last year, and I missed it.

imaginespirit.bsky.social•161 days ago

Then you’ve set an awesome goal! Enjoy 📖 & Happy New Year!!🥳

xobreex3.bsky.social•161 days ago

Thanks, you too! 🎉

Nice! I’m doing the same thing. We’ve got this!

xobreex3.bsky.social•159 days ago

virgoblue.bsky.social•159 days ago

I originally said I’d read one book a month, but based on my pacing, I think it’ll be more.

robshore.bsky.social•160 days ago

Wanted to do 12 last year and did 17. I’m up to three already in 2025 and started my 4th today. Forces me to read in the morning before I work, lunch break and evening instead of watching TV every night. Hoping to get to at least 20.

jam2estph.bsky.social•161 days ago

Work to much but 40min commute. So audible it is! I have listened to one book and am on my second. The Gunslinger chronicles by Steven King. I had read the first 3 in my past.

andrewgarton.bsky.social•160 days ago

Reading is the goal :) As often as feasible.

Sounds like you're off to a great start!

ek-reads.bsky.social•161 days ago

I’m on book 4 of 30 so far.

xobreex3.bsky.social•160 days ago

🙌

stephhyer.bsky.social•160 days ago

Yes, 46 books. I'm 12 pages from 2 books in. I have a page goal of 25,000. Keeping track on StoryGraph. Great job!

xobreex3.bsky.social•160 days ago

Yay! Thank you!

Good luck on your goal!
