It's that time again, where it's nearly time to put a close on the 2025 Reading Goals and decide what 2026 Goals will look like. After looking back at this year, I decided it was time to adjust a few of my goals. For the last couple of years, 70 books have been my yearly goal, and I've hit it every single time. So, this year I'm going to up the challenge to 75 books. It's not unattainable, but it will push me to not fall into a slump around the holidays. However, on the other hand, I've lowered my page count goal. Since 2020, I have not hit that goal. So I dropped it by a thousand pages, and we'll see what 2026 brings me.
I also added a more specific goal to 2026: to remove 10 books from my physical TBR. Last year, I read a lot of Kindle books and borrowed many from my library. While neither is a bad thing, it did not help my growing physical TBR. So, for 2026, the goal (and hope) is to remove at least ten of those books from my shelf. This can be either books I finish or books I DNF, but I need to remove some books to new homes. To help with that, a friend and I are going to return all of our library books, set our Kindles aside, and only read books we already own for the entire month of January. We'll see if that helps, or if I'll need to do it again.
Two of my goals I left the same. Always trying to hit at least 3 BINGOs and I want to go to at least 12 SBC events. It would be great if I could hit all 12 of the ones I help co-host, but this year I had a scheduling conflict. If that happens next year, well I'll just have to carve out time to go to another SBC event with another chapter!
Anyone else setting any reading goals for 2026?
HAPPY READING!!
