Re: How many books did you read in 2014?

  • I challenged myself for 52 books and ended the year with 67 books.

  • I did a 52 book challenge.  I surpassed it by at least 20, but I stopped counting at 52. 
    I'm upping my goal to 75 this year.

  • My goal was 100 and I read 119. I think I will keep my goal at 100 this year because one of my goals is to not be on my phone so much when DD is awake and I do the bulk of my reading on my phone.

  • A very pitiful 32 books. Which is about half of what I have read the last several years.  Who knows what this year will bring with a new baby and staying home.

  • I ended up with 78 read this year.

  • 77. There were a few I forgot to record so that number might actually be closer to 80-85.

    Not enough (46). I had to put all pleasure reading on hold so my numbers really suffered, esp. compared to the last 6 years. Hoping for a better 2015.

  • 177! I started with a goal of 100 and upped it to 150. I read more this year than the last couple.

  • 55.  I'm happy with it.  I expected a slower year due to being over-committed at work.  I was able to accomplish 95% of my reading by listening to audiobooks while working out.  
  • My goal was 100 and I ended up reading 103.

  • My goal was 40 and I ended up reading 42.

    But grad school is OVER and I have actual true free time now. I read three books last weekend alone. I'm setting my goal at 75 this year, but will hopefully be upping it.
    image
  • My goal was 25, and I read 32. I definitely had spurts and dry spells throughout the year!
    image
  • I finished the year with 50.  I'm pretty happy with that since the only time I get to read these days is at night!

  • My original goal was 50 but I managed to read 83 books. Very happy with my number. This year I am going to aim for 100.

  • My original goal was 75 but I ended up reading 124.

  • 105.  I hit my goal of 100 back in August and kind of ran out of steam.  I did just finish MOBY last night, and that was a hefty one.  It seemed a lot longer than it's 800-some pages.  2015 stats got a jump start!

  • I read 24. It's much lower than the past few years, but I'm ok with that.

  • 105! It was my best reading year so far. I'm setting my goal at 52 for this year and hoping to read more nonfiction and get to some classics I have been intimidated by.

  • My goal was 60- but I only read 52.  But, I blame Outlander.  Trying to listen to those killed me.  So my audio count I think was 2- which is usually closer to 10 for the year.  My commute is not long enough for those!  

    I am going for 60 again this year.

    24 *sad trombone* 

    2014 was the year of epic reading ruts and failing to push through bad books. I don't even know how many books I started and didn't finish. 

    ETA: it's actually 25. GR isn't counting one of my books for some reason?

  • My goal was 40 but I read 42.  Goodreads won't count one because it was a re-read but I read it initially 6+ years ago so it should count.

  • My goal was 60 and I ended up with 64. This was the first year in my life I ever set a specific reading goal so I was really happy that I was able to stay on pace. I'm upping it to 70 for next year (really I'm hoping for 75!)
  • 213. Goal was 210. I wanted to push myself since the last 2 years I only finished 199 with 200 being the goal.
  • My goal was 50, but I ended up reading 42.  It's up from last year, so I happy with that.
