I'll probably read more than this, but I've set my goal at 100 books. I suppose I can change it later if I want to?

Of course.

I set my reading challenges up high - but I blog and review all year long. My job is part time and my kids are older. I know with life many of us read in different ways, different types of books, and different reading lengths. I am not bragging or trying to put anyone down. I honestly read at least 30 books a month. I am a fast reader, and I have a serious love for books!

Id like too read at least 20 books this year. A pretty achievable goal in my eyes.
I would love to be able to read a book a day like Tia Lopez says he does but my attention is probably not as good as his lol
.
Warren Buffett said on one of his interviews ( a recent one ) that he reads 6 hours a day when he can. No wander he's so rich!
One day i hope i can do the same. Maybe when i run a multibillion pound company i can?!
But 2 books a month seems do-able, that ay i can have the occasional day off.

I would strive for 2 books a month. Preferably more but I don't want to set my goal too high because it stresses me out.

Because of the work I do, I usually read quite a lot. That being said, I want to read more books that take me out of my comfort zone and really push me towards narrative lines and plots which I usually would not delve in. But to give a more concrete answer, between 7 and 8 books a month is my ballpark number.

Last year, I set a goal of 80 books and surpassed that by completing 112 books. So this year I plan on reading 90 books and trying to reach 115.

I think that rather than trying to guess how many books I would like to read, I will commit to reading something every day: short stories, essays, a novel. Believe it or not, with my lifestyle, that IS a challenge.

I missed my goal last year, but I'm going to keep it the same at 50 books.

Not including books for school, I am attempting to read 20 books in 2017. This is a hefty attempt, as I probably read only 5 leisure books a year the past few years. 100 books per year will have to wait until after graduation!

I am setting a goal of 100 book for this year. I hope I will have the time to accomplish this and enjoy reading some good books. I love reading and read a lot, so it shouldn't be too hard if I put in the effort.

I'm probably going to set my goal at about 65. I started a shorter 2017 book goal today where I have to read a specific type of book throughout the year and mark the section off as I go!
