I don’t normally measure the numbers of books I read in a year, though I do try to review those I do read written by my local community and friends.
This year I’ve decided to participate in the Goodreads Reading Challenge. I’ve set a modest (for me) challenge of 50, and I’m about 3 into that now.
I’m also going to try and post reviews for all of them but not going to hold myself to it, particularly for significantly older releases.
The challenge is a great way to encourage reading, and even better if you review. Hot tip: authors love it when you leave a review, regardless of how you felt about the book. It’s also a great way to pay forward that book you got on loan from a friend, or for minimal royalties from the library.
I’m curious: how many books to you read in a year? And what’s on your list for 2019?
