Reading Challenge: Reading by The Numbers 2026

I will be back for the Reading by the Numbers challenge in 2025.  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 90 books for 2026.  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.  In fact, this is a little less than I've done recently.  But I'm feeling like I might be slowing down my reading and reviewing this year.  We'll see if that holds true or not, I guess.  If I keep reading like always, I'll up my goal along the way.

I'll list my books below as I finish them:

1. Whine and Dine by Marc Jedel
2. A Spy in Saigon by Nancy Cole Silverman
