I’ve read 68 books so far this year. Once I finish three more books I borrowed from the library I’ll be at 71 books. My goal was to read 75 books by the end of the year. I hope I can do it as I’m so close. It will be a bummer not to make it.

It will be a bummer if I don’t make it to my goal. But still happy I read as much as I did. Hope you finish your book by the 21st.

@aureategloom it baffles me that my husband doesn’t read books.

@lovebuglena it's not a big deal. not many people have read as many books as you have. your "read score" is awesome

That is a lot of books to read this year. Even if you are a book or two short, you still accomplished something that most people don't.

Agreed. I bet there are people out there who never read a book in an average year.

What kijn of books do you like to read? Right now I am re-reading a Hillerman murder mystery and inching my way through a couple of other books.

I am spending too much time on YouTube but have read a few books. I have not found the end of YouTube or the internet yet.

@akalinus What are some of the books? I re-read some Mark Twain short stories on the internet recently.

Right now I’m reading poetry books. And I’ve read a few memoirs. Also, I’ve read some short novels translated from other languages into English.

Now you're this close I can understand you wanted to get there. Good luck. You might have to choose short books.

I’ve been reading poetry books lately. Those take less time to read so it has definitely helped me with getting closer to my goal.

Thank you. I feel like setting a goal gets me to read more books. Fingers crossed I reach it. But if not, I still read a lot of books. Definitely more than hubby. He hasn’t read one.

Wow! That like 6 books a month. I wish I could do that. Currently focussed on too many things and the only reading I do in last few months from the internet. Plus, somehow I lost interest to read books. I am not sure what genre I should be reading as my interests vary from time to time. I am looking at financial topics these days and looking to improve on those lines. I do love thrillers as well. Plus given the time crunch , prefer watching things than reading. However, I would target to read atleast 1 book next year and will see if I increase it from year on year. Hats off to you on the book reading! Take care!

You can read more books if you read shorter books. That’s a big help. I don’t think I’d have read that many if they were all big.
