2021 Reading
Tracking & Goals
- Read at least 24 books. (This is low because the rest of my goals are probably too lofty.)
- Read at least 50% of my IRL book club books. (But if I’m not interested in the books, I’m not going to force myself to read them. Life’s too short to read books I don’t enjoy or put me in a slump.)
- Read a book for each monthly tag hosted by my Goodreads group: Play Book Tag (PBT).*
- Participate in the Fly the PBT Skies, Pursue It! Book It! Track It!, and Unofficial Trim challenges in PBT.*
- Read 3,000 pages from books at least 500 pages or longer.*
- Read books on “Personal Interest Read List.”
