reading goal

My reading goal for this year was 77 books, though I was hoping to get to 80. So far I have read only 36 books. I am 47% there. I very much doubt that I will reach my goal this year but that’s ok. Reading as many books as I...

Reading goal update

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52174) • Staten Island, New York 22 Sep

I reached my reading goal for 2024. And I even surpassed it by one book. My goal was to read 75 books and I read 76. I actually didn’t think I’d make it but reading poetry books certainly helped. These books take less time to...

I did it!

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52174) • Staten Island, New York 29 Dec 24

I’ve read 42 books so far. My goal for this year was 75 books. Not sure I’ll be able to reach it. I would need to read a bit more than ten books a month to potentially get to 75. That’s highly unlikely, unless most of the books...

Reading goal update for 2024

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52174) • Staten Island, New York 1 Oct 24

Goodreads says that I am seven books behind schedule. I hope I can catch up. I am going to try and see if there are any interesting books in the library that are under 200 pages. Won't take as much time to read those as it would...

Behind on my books

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52174) • Staten Island, New York 19 Mar 24

I've read five books so far this year and am now on my sixth book. A good start to my 2024 reading year. I hope to read at least 75 books by the year's end as that's what I finished with last year. What books should I read next?...

A good start

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52174) • Staten Island, New York 29 Jan 24

For some years now I do the Goodreads reading challenge. My reading goal for 2023 was 65 books and I ended it with 75 books. I think I will set my new reading goal for 2024 to 75 books. I hope I will be able to reach it. I am not...

New year, new reading goal

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52174) • Staten Island, New York 2 Jan 24

The last book I borrowed from the library for this year—that I’m almost done reading—is Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. I think I read it in high school but don’t remember. Not a bad book. Once I’m finished, my total...

Will end with 68 books

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52174) • Staten Island, New York 26 Dec 23

I am getting close to reaching my reading goal for this year. I set it at 65 books. Once I finish the eight books I borrowed from the library I will have five books left to go. I may cheat a little and read the five chapbooks...

Closer to reaching my reading goal for 2023

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52174) • Staten Island, New York 30 Nov 23

So far I’ve read 48 books. My goal is to read at least 65 books by the end of the year. I’ve still got 17 books left to read and a little less than two months to do it. Is that even possible? I sure hope so. If memory...

Will I make it?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52174) • Staten Island, New York 6 Nov 23

I just finished reading the last book of The Last Hours trilogy Chain of Thorns by Cassandra Clare. It was over 778 pages long. This makes it the 12th book I’ve read this year so far. My goal for the year is to read at...

How many books have you read so far this year?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52174) • Staten Island, New York 8 Jun 23

I ended last year having read 65 books. I am keeping my reading goal for this year at 65 books again. I hope I can reach it. Or better yet surpass it. Haven’t started reading any books this year yet as I’m waiting on two books I...

My reading goal for this year was 55 books. I actually managed to read 59 books. There is still some time left till the year is over. I am definitely going to read at least one book. Hopefully more than that. Have to go to...

Surpassed my reading goal

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52174) • Staten Island, New York 2 Dec 22

Once I finish reading the book I am currently reading I will reach my goal of 55 books in 2022. And the year is not over yet. Maybe I will manage to read 60 books. Since I reached my reading goal for this year, I will raise...

I did it!

I finished reading my 52nd book this year. I have only three left to go to reach my Goodreads reading challenge goal of 55 books by the end of the year. I will definitely get to that, even surpass it. Wonder by how much. Reading...

Finished my 52nd book

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52174) • Staten Island, New York 22 Sep 22

Since I didn’t reach my 55-book reading goal for 2021 I am keeping the same goal for 2022. I took out five books from the library a few days ago and am already on the third book. Did you start reading any books yet this year?

book

My goal for 2021 was to read 55 books. After I finish a poetry book I am reading my total books read for 2021 will be 44 books. I did not reach my goal. But I still read a lot of books—poetry books and novels—which I am happy...

How many books did you read this year?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52174) • Staten Island, New York 29 Dec 21

When I started the year of reading and gave myself a goal of the number of books I was hoping to read, I was very conservative. I thought one a month was realistic. So my goal was 12. Half way through the year and I am already at...

Books I am reading now

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52174) • Staten Island, New York 23 Apr 20

Now that the libraries are temporarily closed—and who knows when they will reopen—and I can't take out books to read, I am not sure that I will be able to reach my reading goal of 55 books by the end of the year. I could probably...

I took out eight books from the library recently and I have only one book left to finish. Two weeks haven't even passed. Hopefully, I will be able to finish it by the 9th as one of the books I finished is due then. It was a...
