Book Blogger Hop: Goodreads Goal

Angela (Angel's Book Nook)

Welcome to the Book Blogger Hop hosted by Coffee Addicted Writer.  The hop takes place weekly, starting on a Friday and concluding the following Thursday.  Each week features a specific prompt that poses a book-related question for participants to address.  The primary aim of the blog hop is to facilitate connections among bloggers, encouraging them to follow one another, explore new book titles, and increase their audience.  To check out 2025 Prompts: click here.

 

This weeks prompt 25th – 31st– If you set a goal on Goodreads, do you place it realistically, lower than what you think you will read, or higher than you think you will reach? (submitted by Elizabeth @ Silver’s Review)

 

I do set a goal on Goodreads.  I used to set it at 150 each year many years ago, but I’ve gradually moved it down over the years to 50.  But, as for 2025 I set it to 25.  I used to read a lot and would make my goal, but in the last few years I’ve been reading less and barley made my goal.  I think it has to do with how my life has changed and I have less time for myself.

 

I’d love to hear from you!

  1. I was reading over 200 books at one point a few years ago. But that has gone down the last few years. So I now have it at 150 because I know that I always meet that by the end of the year. I’m about to drop it next year to 120, 10 books a month, as I feel like I am reading less this year than years past, even if I’m still on track to reach my 150 this year.

    1. Lisa I was reading 200 a year too, but the last couple years it just kept dropping and now I’m lucky to hit 25-30 for the year. The audiobooks are helping me get more books in, but still it’s a big change from what I was reading 10 years ago. Thanks for sharing and visiting.

  2. I don’t blame you for dropping the numbers with life getting busy. No sense getting stressed out over not making your challenge goal. I read and listen to a ton, but I don’t want to stress so I set the goal for what I’ve been doing and don’t push harder each year.

  3. I have been sticking with 250 which is 5 books a week with 2 weeks vacation. It always seems implausible but I most always succeed. But it’s most important to enjoy what you read.

  4. I feel like you will do awesome this year since you’ve been listening to a lot of books! But don’t feel pressure – just enjoy yourself!

    1. I think once my kid goes off to collage in 5 years I’ll be able to move my goal back up. ^_^ It’s been good focusing on Audiobooks, but still not reading as many books as I used too. Thou I think I’ll hit my goal. I’m hoping to go over. Will see. Thanks for visiting!
