Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

So how was 2022 for you? We still have a few weeks left but did you reach your goal? Are you close? I met my goal of 100 books. I have 3 on my "currently reading" list and I am not sure if I am going to finish or just focus on doing a wrap up for the year and get started on my goals for next year.

I went over my goal of 52. I'm currently at 69 for the year and might finish a few more in the next 3 weeks. I've been trying to focus on quality reads rather than quantity and I've been overall satisfied in that category as well, although there haven't been as many 5 star reads this year as I would otherwise like.

I went over my goal by 5, 6 if I finish this huge book 564 pages.

I have to use members corner as the site keeps deleting my challenge page under the goal numbers ;( Ive tried 3 or 4 times I add another list and goodreads cant find the page?! But members corner works fine. Yay!

I definitely did NOT meet my 2022 goal loll I had a goal of 100 books and I’ve only read 34 so far. I’m hoping this group can keep me more accountable with my reading goals next year! I do think I’ve read a lot of new authors and I’m more comfortable switching between genres.

No worries, Friend. Onward and upward. What types of goals are you planning on setting for 2023?

My reading goals for 2023 are:

1. Read 100 books
2. Read at least 1-2 nonfiction books per month
3. Read more books from my personal library

I’m really hoping I can stick with #3 lol My compulsion to buy books when I have so many I still haven’t read at home is crazy 😩😂

Sooooo...shall we discuss #3 because I am a firm believer that reading books AND buying books are 2 VERY different hobbies and one can AND should actively engage in both. We will engage in ALL of our bookish hobbies equally in this corner of Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ :-)

It is what is. I buy them to look at them and grow my library as much as I buy them to read them. I love books. So if you slip fro time to time this year...just holler at your girl and let me know where the sale is.

You made me feel so much better 😩 I will now be referring to my book buying as a hobby 🤗😂 I will definitely let you know where the sales are LOL

As you should, Sis. :-)

For first time I actually made and surpassed my reading goal this year so I upped the goal for next year. I also hope this will be the year I actually keep up with my goodreads page. 🙂

2022 was the year of reading for me.
I started to read books since January and I now I am feeling in love with books.
Wishing to read more in 2023.

I hear you. I've got hundreds of books on my book shelves that I need to read and I still keep buying more. I also check books out from the library and also when I see a little free library on my running route I look and see what is interesting in there. Plus I get emails with free or low priced books for my Kindle. So the pile is constantly growing.

Heather feels my pain loll Between all of that and BOTM my book buying hobby is crazy sometimes 😩

I loveee the library, it’s impossible to not walk out with 5-8 books!

Just this morning I checked out an ebook for one of the GoodReads challenges and I also after looking up that book. I've got to go tomorrow when the library opens and pick up another physical book and I just started a book yesterday that I bought while Christmas shopping a couple of weeks ago. Did I really need to shop at the bookstore no, but I did good good buying myself gifts.

2022 was a good reading year for me! I initially set a goal of finishing 100 books, and I ended up meeting that goal in August. By the end of the year, I finished 160 books and audiobooks.

I'm hoping to keep this momentum going in 2023!

so my final books count is 35 books like actual books 16 graphic novels and 3 manga for a total of 54 books 0.0
