Reading Challenge: Reading by the Numbers 2024


I will be back for the Reading by the Numbers challenge in 2024.  It's a fairly simple challenge - set a reading goal and then have fun reading to get there.  That's it.  No levels.  Nothing but what you think you will hit.  And you can always increase your number of books along the way.

I'm going to do like I did last year and start out with a goal of 100 books for 2024.  I'm sure I'll be along part way into the year to increase it, but I don't want to set it too high.  This is the same strategy I employ for my Goodreads challenge each year.

June Update: I am officially upping my goal to 120 books.  I'll be hitting 60 before June is over, so it seems like a good new goal.
