GA Russell · 12-02-2016, 03:23 PM

My goal will once again be to read 12 books because the publishing industry considers the purchaser of 12 books a year to be an "avid reader."

This looks fun! I'd like to join. My goal is to see how many of the books in my TBR list I can go through in 2017. I'll still probably read more new stuff, but I'd like to try to go through some of the older books I bought years ago.

Also, I want to start reading some of the free books I've picked up over the years. Maybe I'll be able to find some new authors to follow.

library addict · 12-03-2016, 12:58 AM

I have a mix of reading goals for 2017, including:

Catch up on one author I've fallen woefully behind reading
Read a minimum of two backlist books by four different authors
Pick 10 “Must Read” books for the year from my huge TBR (not including any new releases)

I'll just track my numbers here. I’m planning to complete multiple “17 in 2017” challenges where I read 17 books based around a particular theme or list (such as a challenge where you read older books, 1 per year published 1984-2000, books where the title or author name begins with the letter A, then B, C, etc through Q, as well as several themed challenges).

January 2017
Read 28 books.
Completed The 20th Century Challenge (Read 17 books, one per year published in 2000, 1999 back through 1984)

February 2017
Read 23 books.

March 2017
Read 20 books.

April 2017
Read 27 books.

May 2017
Read 21 books.

June 2017
Read 12 books.

July 2017
Read 29 books.

August 2017
Read 25 books.
Completed the Simply Seventeen and Breakfast Cereal reading challenges (17 books each)

September 2017
Read 21 books.
Completed the Cocktail, Seventeen Magazine(s)!, The Alphabet Challenge Variation, and Simply Seventeen Challenge Replay reading challenges (17 books each).

October 2017
Read 22 books.
Completed Simply Seventeen Challenge – Novellas (17 novellas)

November 2017
Read 9 books.

December 2017
read 10 books.
Completed Simply Seventeen Challenge (The Whittler) – Repeat Replay (17 books)

Total for 2017 = 247

Reserving a seat here. Will decide and post my targets soon.

Edit : I've decided my targets. I plan to read 100 books in 2017. I have reduced my annual readings from 120 which I finished in 2016, because I know my possible busy schedules in 2017, and I know well that I may even fail to achieve this target.

I've successfully reduced my TBR to 970 this year, and I'll try my best to keep it below 1000 in 2017. I've also succeeded in limiting my ebook buying during 2016 which I promise to keep in control this year too.

Book rating system will be the same:

***** - Excellent.
**** - Very good.
*** - Average, pretty good.
** - Not too good.
* - Bad. Not to my taste.

Quote:

My numbers goal is 60 books, which is a little under my yearly average. But my substantive goal is to continue to diversify. I want to read more of the dead tree books my wife purchases and I want to read more "across the aisle" in genres or subjects I have avoided in the past.

UPDATE: This has morphed into me reading more non-American authors. Because I find myself living in 1984, I am having a hard time with the goal of reading cross-aisle perspectives. I guess living in post-truth/pre-fascism kind of kills the desire to read about it.

nightcolors Enthusiast Posts: 43 Karma: 262566 Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Canada Device: Sony PRS700, T1, Kobo Libra	To record the books I read This looks fun! I'd like to join. My goal is to see how many of the books in my TBR list I can go through in 2017. I'll still probably read more new stuff, but I'd like to try to go through some of the older books I bought years ago. Also, I want to start reading some of the free books I've picked up over the years. Maybe I'll be able to find some new authors to follow. Last edited by nightcolors; 12-07-2016 at 07:40 PM.

I've successfully reduced my TBR to 970 this year, and I'll try my best to keep it below 1000 in 2017. I've also succeeded in limiting my ebook buying during 2016 which I promise to keep in control this year too.
