In the past I have set a goal each January for how many books I want to read. More recently I have added a percentage of fiction to nonfiction. I use GoodReads to keep track.
2017–35 ✅
2018–40✅
2019–60✅
I kept 60 as a goal for a few years until I realized how it was changing my choice of books. I started looking at the number of pages before picking my next read. I was also getting anxious at the end of the year about whether I would meet my goal. I didn’t want reading to be a chore. I want to relax and enjoy reading. I want to spend time on other projects such as creating this blog! I have enjoyed sharing my thoughts about books, bookstores and libraries even if no one but me reads it.
