2017 Reading Challenge

[srm628]

Honestly, my goal is to just read one or two books for myself and not just for school. This semester I have 23 books alone. I don't know if I can push myself to read something for myself.

[drcmarx]

I have been challenged by my family to read wider than my own interest and therefore I am planning to read 2 of each of the following:
Books chosen because I liked the cover.
Books I previously started but never finished.
Books by an Author I have never heard of.
Books that everybody is raving about
Books recommended by my wife (that's is going to be a tough one I am sure)
Books to Expand my horizon
Books considered to be a classic
Books published during 2017
Books set in a City I want to travel to
Books written before 1970

That is 20 books in addition to my normal reading (wow)

Looking forward to this!!

I think i am going to set the mark at 50 books.Let us see how far i go

[Book_Wyrm]

I'm planning to read 52 books this year ... one book per week. Which means I'm already behind.

I'm not going to set any specifics because I have such an accumulation of books waiting to be read that I just plan to grab a book from the pile (actually, several boxes and a bunch of bookcases ...) each week and go for it.

How do people manage to find the time to read 100 books in a year?

No T.V or PC games.

I read while sitting next to my husband who is watching tv shows that I don't like.

Trying to be realistic, I decided on 12 books this year. I'm reading one each month, but they have to be "substantial." I'm focusing on classic literature, starting with The Idiot.

I have a habit to take off more than I can chew but I'll try to refrain this time : ) 48 will be the magic number this year...it'll be refreshing to set a goal I can reasonably accomplish!

100 books

According to Goodreads, I am around 20 books done.

☠?

[EmperorOfBooks]

My reading goal for 2017 is to read as much as I can. I'm doing this because I find that sometimes, I can burn myself out trying to read enough books to reach that number goal.

[dana012]

My goal last year was 50. I met it so I'm setting it a bit higher this year. I'm making it 60.

[Wasif Ahmed]

Well, I honestly don't know. I just read and read and never count how many I read in a year. ?

[gregs317]

Wasif Ahmed, I think I like your approach to the book challenge the best.

Like many of the replies before mine, I'm going to try and finish up some series I started last year. I'm trying to do at least one review a month although life will probably play a factor in what I actually get done. I've set my goal to 50, but I've been adding books I've read in the past to my bookshelves.
