The worst thing is making too many challenges, and then they turn in to a chore to finish.
Turning reading in to a chore is about the easiest way to fall into a slump. But that might be a good thing, because not all people want to read all the time. It's just that with tracking and social media, forums and so on, we came to this idea that we HAVE to be reading all the time. I think slumps can be beneficial. Your mind takes a break, and after a while most people will genuinely want to read something.
On topic, I'm on my 20th book this year. My yearly challenge was 30 books so I'm on track. That means I've been reading 2.5 books a month, with average page of around 875 pages a month. That sounds about right, as most of my reads is fantasy, and the books in that genre are notorious door-stoppers. Pages total is visible in my signature.
