I want to do one per week, so 52 all up. One of the things I love about doing reviews here is that I have to finish the book before the deadline - otherwise I only get about 1/4 the way through a book and find the next shiny thing that comes up!

I’m very excited that I had finished three books two days ago on 6 January!
I will plan for at least 52...one each week...but I also to plan to write Sousa not let the reading be a distraction ,but rather a helpful enhancement ☺️

Being new, I set a low number of 10.

However, if I surpass that no harm done!

My goal for 2018 is 125 books. I read 102 last year and I've managed to reach the 125 once before, I think in 2015 or 2016, so I'm pretty confident that I can manage it. Plus, I'm off to a pretty great start having read 9 books already.

I'd like to read 50 books this year. I've listened to one audiobook so far (They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera) This is the first year I am counting the books I read so I don't know my average...maybe 50 is too high? I definitely didn't read enough last year!

I have started reviewing books on my blog though and I'm excited for people to read my reviews and buy the books from my recommendations!

Hi, last year I went for 32. But I tried to only count the books that were good. In my opinion of course. According to my e-reader I made it through about hundred of them, but as far as I'm concerned, if after a month I can't remember what book was about it doesn't get on my list :D I did get to 33 :techie-studyingbrown: , which is my this years goal :D

I'm trying for 52 this year - one for each week! I usually read around 150 books a year but I'm going to be very busy with dissertation and new job this year!

My goal for 2018 is to read & review 25 books. That's in addition to all of the books I'll be reading my kids, which is a minimum of 3 stories at bedtime & 1 in the morning (and I'll be honest, I'm cheating a little by picking kids books to review too). As well as at least 1 book a month off my shelves at home (or more often 2 or 3).

Last year I set 100 books as the goal and only got to 85. This year is 100 again, I'm at 4 right now.

I'm playing it safe and setting my goal at 50 books, but I'm hoping I'll blow past that pretty quick. :)

My goal is to read fifteen books this year. Not a lot, but I have some pretty thick books to get through, like It and 1Q84...

I hope to read about 20 books and 20-25 short stories. The latter being my preference. Hope I can reach my goal by the end of the year.

I think that 50 is a very achievable goal. I think I am going to start with that and see what the year brings me!

My goal for 2018 is to read 50 books. I usually read a few more than that, though.

Last year I decided to read fewer books slower and with a more narrow focus. I ended up reading about 50 anyway.
“A book, too, can be a star, ‘explosive material, capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly,’ a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.”
