Evaluating My 2024 Goals
Can you believe 2024 is over? I feel like this year flew by. I thought I’d evaluate my 2024 reading goals. My reading goals were:
- Read at least 30 books.
- Read 50% of my book club books.
- Read at least 15 of my Book of the Month books.
I’ve kept track of my reading on my 2024 Goals & Tracking page.
Yearly Goal
My goal for the year was to read at least 30 books and I read 53. 53 is the most I’ve ever read in one year!
I also DNFd 5 books due to boredom, not being able to get into the story, or losing interest part way through. The only book I think I’d consider trying to read again when I’m in the mood is A CURSE SO DARK AND LONELY.
