Do you set any kind of reading goals?

Do you try to read a certain number of books a year?

Do you want to read more of a certain genre? Or just more of a variety of genres?

I am curious to hear about any kind of reading goals you may have.

In 2024, I set a goal of 52 books and by the end it felt like a chore. In 2025, I scaled back to a goal of 25 books and ended up easily reading 52.

For 2026, I decided my goal is to go through some of the unread books in my personal collection. Specifically, I would like to get through some of the book series I’ve been carrying around for a while. Some of these are:

  • Sekret Machines by Tom DeLonge and A.J. Hartley (3 books)
  • The Legendborn Cycle by Tracy Deon (3 books)
  • Uncharted Hearts by Constance Fay (3 books)
  • Dune by Frank Herbert (I have 6 books)
  • The Dandelion Dynasty by Ken Liu (4 books)
  • The Protectorate by Megan E. O’Keefe (3 books)
  • The Otherland series by Tad Williams (4 books)
