Although we read and go to the library life is super busy and throws lots of curves our way...I will set it at 24. Two a month. I like to savor the story so I really take my time reading.
It's not a competition and with your schedule I wouldn't have time to read much either
Some books I can fly through and other more serious non fiction takes me a long time to get through.

I listen to a lot of books through the year at work! Sometimes I listen to two or three a week! I usually listen to those I have a harder time sitting and reading...the longer books that take more focus. For example, Crime and Punishment. However lately, it's whatever is available that sounds interesting. I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes audio books. I do not normally count them in my reading goal, but I keep track of them separately. Happy listening!Anchovy cat wrote:Hmmm, I actually listen to more books than I actually read. Do those count? I think I could set a reading count of 50 plus at least another 15 on audio. Anyone else listen to books?

For 2017, I plan on trying to be part of the review team...so a minimum of 12 books (one per month). My personal goal outside of this is about 24 books (two a month). I'd love for my goal to be higher but life seems a bit busier lately. However, with my job I tend to listen to a lot of books...about two a week if not more.

I need a modest target this year as it's going to be a busy one - writing, launching an ethical fashion design brand and producing a couple of ethical fashion magazines.
Thing is - I can't seem to get through much more than a few days without picking a book up!
Ok - 3 a month, sooooo that makes 36 for 2017. I'm hoping for a few fiction ones in there. There'll definitely be some art and history books, but I suspect there'll be a few on setting up a business, fashion and some of my favourite designers.
Be interesting to see what they will be!
