My Book Goal: 24 in '24
Read 24 books ... minimum By 24 different authors ... I hope. I also hope some of them will be new to me. Admittedly this part is rather flexible, as are my sub-goals of: Reading at least 2 -4 non-fiction books ... ... and reading more of the books that I already have as opposed to buying more new books. Freebies do not count, nor does Kindle Unlimited or library loans, gifts or borrows from friends. That's it. Anything extra beyond the base count of 24 books in 2024 is yummy delicious dessert. :-) |

Goal: 100 books in 2024
Not sure if I can achieve my 2023 effort of 155 books read, as I feel my reading habits are now slowing down.
So my goal for 2024 is 100 books to be read. I have one more box of books in storage which contains Stephen King, and my pre- and early-teen books like Alfred Hitchcock and The Three Investigators, Hardy Boys, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Space 1999. I'd like to re-read those after so many years, but not sure if it is something I will enjoy as I might find them too childish and annoying. I re-read one of the Star Trek books a few months ago and hated it. My goal from late 2019 was to bring back into the light of day my book collection. This was great as there was not a lot of brain power devoted to finding something to read- I had a steady stream of books, and those books led me to other books, usually more books in the series. With one more box to go, my stream of books is drying up. I regularly browse bookstores, and very little interests me. Checking the New Releases, the books seem foreign to me - just nothing there interests me, or is just rehashed stories. Sci-fi sections have all but disappeared and are little more than Fantasy. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * My progress for 2024: (sorted by reading date) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
