2025 Reading Goals Check-In
Now that the year is halfway over, I thought I’d check-in on my progress with my 2025 reading goals. My goals for 2025 are to:
- Read at least 60 books.
- Read all of my book club books.
- Read all of my 2025 Book of the Month picks.
- Read 15 of the books on my Book of the Month backlist.
I’ve been keeping track of my progress on my 2025 Goals & Tracking page.
Yearly Goal
My goal for the year is to read 60 books and I’ve only read 16. Not reading anything in March and April really killed my progress.
So far, my favorite books are:
- Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros
- Phantasma by Kaylie Smith
- First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison
Book Club
I made a goal to read all of my book club books this year. I’ve only read two out of six. I tried to read March’s and May’s books but ended up DNFing them.
Book of the Month
I made a goal to read all of my 2025 Book of the Month picks. I’ve only read three out of ten.
Book of the Month Backlist
I made a goal to read 12 of the books on my Book of the Month backlist. I’ve only read two so far.
Conclusion
I haven’t had quite an abysmal reading year as 16 books isn’t anything to laugh at. It does feel a little disappointing since I know I can read a lot more. Because there’s no way I’m going to accomplish any of my goals, I’ve decided to modify them a bit. I want to enjoy what I read instead of stressing about not reading enough. The changes to my goals for 2025 are:
- Read 48 books.
- Read 9 of my book club books.
- Read 12 of my 2025 Book of the Month books.
- Read 12 of the books on my Book of the Month backlist.
