How many books have you read this year so far? Has it exceeded your expectations?

Personally:
I've read 18 so far. If I read 6 more it'll be an average of two books a month. Comparing to last year, it was a good progress, however, it's disappointing because I know I could read wayy more. I happen to have school and frequent reading slumps. Also, I don't like forcing myself to read because otherwise it wouldn't feel like a hobby anymore. I'm jealous of those who read 100+ books a year. It's true that comparison is the thief of joy but it is what it is :/

i've read 106 books so far. i started reading in march and my first goal was 75 but i moved it to 150.

it sucks how some ppl feel jealous of the books ive read but i hate that i haven't read more like other ppl :/

I've read 348 books so far this year. I would like to say that i have a lot of free time, read audiobooks, and some are novellas on KU. My goal was 200 since I read around 150 last year. So needless to say I shattered my expectations.

Lol and I thought I was going to come in here flaunting my 88 books... yeah no. Oops.

So yeah, I've read 88 books out of 75 (my reading goal for the year). Super impressive, I know. (Not.) I tend to set my reading goals lower than I know I'm probably going to read because I like to know I've completed it. Maybe that's weird. Idk. But I think I'm probably going to read just over 100 books this year. Maybe next year I'll up my reading goal and really make it a goal.

@cassie nooo you've done a great job!! i always set mine low too so i reach it lol

Yall are great I’ve only read 26 out of my 30 goal

I started in the beginning of July, so far 28 out of 40 but none of them have been over 400 pages.

85/140!

47/50! Might increase it though but I'll probably slow down now

I thought I could come here and flex but damn I got humbled hard

142/200 im a sad lonely person okay
