I have, but I’ve simplified it compared to 2023.
In 2023, I set an overall reading goal of 150 books, which I met (just). I also set other goals, such as:
- Reading nonfiction books
- Reading books by BIPOC authors
- Reading books by debut or new-to-me authors.
I didn’t meet most of those goals.
So this year, I have set just one goal for my 2024 reading challenge: to read 120 books.
No goals around genre or author or publisher. Just 120 books.
This is a reduction on previous years: I’ve managed 150 books for the last few years (since I’ve re-entered the paid workforce), and 200 books a year before that.
I now have my first full-time paid job in close to 15 years. I also have a novel to write, edit, and publish by May … while working full-time, buying a new property (because the new job is in a new city), and organising a writing contest.
