2018 Reading Goals

Wednesday, January 3, 2018

I don't have many goals for this year, but since 2017 was such a horrible reading year for me I wanted to set some book/reading related goals.   My Goodreads goal is to read 60 books this year, which is almost double what I read last year.   These challenges should help me reach that goal!

1. Finish Erin's Book Challenge 
I wrote about this here and shared which books I chose for each category.   I have only participated in this challenge once and majorly failed.  I am determined to finish it this time.  I made it easier on myself by working hard to find books that I really wanted to read.


2. Complete a 50 States Challenge
This goal has been haunting me for years!  I started a 50 states challenge in 2015 and said both 2016 and 2017 were going to be the years I finished ... they were not.  So I am starting over.  This year I am going to do the whole challenge in one year if it kills me!  I have a list of books (some states have a few options) ready to go and the ones that are available through the MWR library are bookmarked!  This is happening!



3. Begin the Around the World in 80 Books Challenge
This is another goal that I had been half-assing over the last few years.  I wont actually be starting this goal until I do my new 101 in 1001 list (starting in spring) but I do intend to start this and make a dent in it by the end of the year by reading 10 books.   I have a pretty good list of books started and will post the (hopefully) finished list of books I want to read after I post my new 101 in 1001 list.  Any suggestions for books taking place in a foreign country are more than welcome!


4. Read Books I Own
I have a bunch of books sitting on my shelf that I haven't read yet.  Some have been sitting there for years!  I'd like to read at least half of these by the end of the year, but I'm really aiming to read all of them.
