2025 & 2026 Reading Challenge discussion

I will be putting the Popsugar Reading Challenge and my personal reading challenge for this year in this area to make it easier for me to keep up with. I have my Personal goal @ 8 this year, just to have a relaxing year and I don't have to feel like reading is a chore like I have been feeling like lately. I never set my goal too high but sometimes, when I am in a slump, it can feel a bit much trying to stay on track. This year, I said I would just go with the flow the same as I did in 2017 without having to worry about my reading goal on here this year though.

Good luck with both challenges!
