I've never been much of a reading goal person. I read because I enjoy it, and I don't want it to feel like another task. If I'm not enjoying a book, I have no problem setting it aside and moving on.
That said, I set a goal of 125 books for 2026 and ended up reaching it much faster than I expected. As of today, I've read 156 books with 85 days still left in the year.
Lately, though, I've slowed down quite a bit, and I'm perfectly okay with that. The goal was fun, but the number was never the point. Reading has always been about enjoying the books, not racing through them. If I read 20 more this year, great. If I don't, that's fine too.
Favorite Book so far this year:
Bad Words by Rioghnach Robinson
Runners Up: (In no particular order)
The Last to Drown by Noelle Ihli
Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett
I have bad words and calamity club on hold. The other 2 sounded too intense for me.
ReplyDeleteA little life is intense and very long but very good. The Last to drown is not horror (I don't do horror) good suspense though. Very well written.
