How many of you are
participating in the Goodreads Reading Challenge this year? I am, although my goal may be a little ambitious
at 1,000 books.
No, you didn’t read
that wrong. When I first stumbled onto
the challenge in 2018, I was kind of late to the game and figured I would start
little. My goal was 50 books, I ended up
reading 580 books.
I figured I would go a
bit bigger in 2019, as I was starting in January and had the entire year to
read. My goal was 800 books, and imagine
my surprise when I ended up reading 872 books.
I decided I would push
myself a little harder this year and set my goal at 1,000 books. You are probably wondering if I expect to get
anything else accomplished this year.
The answer is yes. I have a
full-time job, am a costumer, do a lot of charity work, and am raising 2
daughters and 2 dogs.
Plus let’s put this in
perspective. I am a blogger of romance
novels, yes, those books I lovingly refer to as smut. My shortest book read in 2019 was 26 pages
and the longest was an anthology with 1,548 pages.
According to Goodreads,
I read 161,467 pages during the course of the year. That is so amazing! I know I did it, but I can’t even really
fathom reading that many pages.
I don’t know if I will
be able to reach my goal of 1,000 books this year, as life so often gets in the
way. But I am going to do my best,
starting with one book at a time.
Please feel free to
share your reading goal with me. I love
to hear about active readers, and not so active readers, my daughter’s goal is
to read 25 books this year. Here’s
hoping. 😊 No
matter what your goal is, have fun and enjoy the many journeys you will take
while trying to reach it.
Happy Reading
Sydney
