Up to 5 books so far, 3 for sure for the themed challenge and 2 that can fit the themes, but I might save until closer to the end in case I need to move them around a bit...
Might temporarily assign them categories...idk though.

i'm on book 4, but at some point i may need to put the book on pause again, because i have other books from the library too.
its The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History by Ned Blackhawk, and it's slow-going, so....

[Kaderin Triste]

Yeah, that sounds like it would be a slower book for sure.

[trystan830]

it's a big heavy book with heavy subject matter, yeah.

[Kaderin Triste]

Sounds like it.

Up to 8 finished! Though 2 are graphic novels, so they were quick reads.

[trystan830]

oh yay!

i'm still reading mine.

[trystan830]

set aside book #4, read two different ones, and now I'm still trying to read The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History by Ned Blackhawk. so now it's #6 instead.

but i have a book that's published tomorrow (paperback version of a Dragonlance book that came out last year) and I'll probably get it on Friday from my B&N.... but I'm going to see if The Rediscovery of America is actually there like their website says it is. then i can return it to the library.... I've had it out since November o_O

Just joined this site and saw this thread that popped out to me! I am a huge reader! I am challenging myself this year aswell. I read 146 books last year, I am looking to hit 150 this year! No specific titles, I read whatever interests me! I would just like to reach 150, lol. This requires me to read 12/13 books a month! I am slacking since I am only at 29 and we are entering April! Oops! But anyways, glad to be here ( : I love seeing yalls progress!

[trystan830]

oh yay! hey there Dutchess! :D

if you'd like to use your post #24 as a place to list the books you've read, i can link it on the first page.

my challenge is the same every year: read more than last year. I'm a little behind as well, I'm only on #10 for the year so far!

[trystan830]

many moons pass.....

i'm still reading, and totally need to update my first post, i'm up to book #36 so far. i'm not on goodreads anymore, i'm trystan830 on storygraph!

[Jessibuns]

My goal for the year was 50, passed it early summer, made it 75 lol, passed it end of summer so I made it 100.
Passed that last week. I’m not extending the number tho, I’ll be happy with going over my goal(s) lol.

Thinking I’ll make 2026 be 125 books to read though.

[Kaderin Triste]

Oof, Ive been really bad about updating my reading list here.
I did increase my goal on Goodreads up to 80 after passing my original goal of 75.
And I've passed that goal and am at 84 books finished. With 3 more to try to finish in the next couple weeks for various challenges.

[trystan830]

wow, i need to have a conversation with my preferences here.... i totally didn't get ANY of these notifications!

my goal was more than 64, but i only got up to 39!

i'll post a new thread for 2026 in the next few days!

[KittyBeary]

Well.... least I finished the main story of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation this year. ;w;

Next year I'll be reading Heaven Official's Blessing but who knows if I'll finish it by the end of the year, since it has more volumes. D: But we will see! (Grandmaster has 5, and Heaven Official's has 8.... ;w; )

[Kaderin Triste]

Finished out the year at a grand total of 87 books, and also finished the 50 book challenge from the library, which I ended up winning a $25 Scheel's gift card for (they donated 14 gift cards as prizes that were drawn from all the people who finished the challenge), so that was pretty cool.

Unfortunately, I did not update my list here, but I'll try to be better about that next time.

[trystan830]

oh nice!

i did update my list here last night! lol

i have setting up the thread for 2026 on my to-do list today! :)
