190?! Wow. I've set reading challenges for myself on Goodreads with an aim of 100. I was proud when I managed to get them by the skin of my teeth, twice. I never once even considered 190 could be done. It just seems so impossible. You've put my amateur reading to shame, and inspired me.
Good luck.

Blessings on reaching your goal as well!
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for Thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. ~ Psalms 4:8

Yes, if you start with a goal of 20, that will be my approximation to start for too! Made any progress? I have since read one -- a novella, how 'bout you?Stephh2112 wrote: ↑21 Jan 2019, 02:44 I would say in 2018 I read around less than 20 books as I was Painfully busy. But in the years before that, I would consume books like the wind. I'm sure since we use this site, many others can relate too. I would love to get back into the swing of things again: nonfiction,theory,craft manuals,autobiography,cooking books,comicbooks, short stories, news articles and even lengthy blog posts i just cant get enough. So im setting a low goal but i can hopefully surpass this goal of 60 books in 2019!
Now, I am about to finish writing and posting my book review, here (of said book).
Keep going,

If you start with a goal of 20, that will be my approximation to start for too (20's less intimidating for busy scheds)! Made any progress? I have since read one -- a novella, how 'bout you?
I am actually finally about to finish writing and posting my review here (of said novella).
Keep Going!

Depends on your workload and how fast a reader you are. Definitely focusing on your grades is most important, especially freshman year. And you can always go over your reading goal, it's just used to challenge yourself not limit. <3
