Each year I participate in a reading challenge or two. I was a dismal failure with the The 52 Book Club’s 2024 Reading Challenge. I started off well but more shiny objects (books I just had to read/recommendations from friends) got in the way of sticking to the challenge themes.
I also joined the Goodreads 2024 Challenge setting myself a target of 100 books to read. I only just managed to make my target last night.
The funny thing is that, when I reviewed my list of books read in 2024, I discovered that I neglected to mark some as read. I am pleased to report that I actually read 104 books.
We have several journeys already booked for next year but I will still try to read 100 titles in 2025.
Following is a list of the books I read in 2024

Well done. I've read 20 of your 100. My pick from your list is possibly Foster. This year, I've managed 83 with a goal of 52. After seeing your post last year about the 52 books in 52 weeks challenge, I decided to give it a go and actually managed to succeed. I'm being a bit cheeky for the 2025 challenge. I have 5 books ready with only 1 chapter to go in each. If I don't get a good start in January, I'll have no hope. This year I'll try to fit in some of my non-fiction books waiting on my shelf to be read.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you fit reading in with full time work. I have to slip a few picture books in to reach my target.
