Since 2010, I have challenged myself to read 50 books in a year. I have failed every year, but I will get there eventually (or so I tell myself).

Having completely ignored my goodreads account for the better part of two years (though am now making a concerted effort to use it more), it’s a good way to keep track of the books I’ve read.

I update books as I start them, not as I finish them.

My results by year:

2010: 32.5 books
2011: 36-ish
2012: 17-ish
2013: 19
2014: 17/18
2015: 13
2016: 20
2017: 46
2018: 65 (goal achieved!!!)
2019: 48
2020: 81 (goal achieved!!!)
2021: 68
2022: 62
2023: 163 (goal achieved!!!)
2024: 110 (goal achieved!!!)
2025: ??
