The 2023 Annual Reading Challenge List Thread
  2023 Reading Challenge List ThreadWelcome to our 14th Annual Reading Challenge! The Annual Reading Challenge is not a race, nor an “exclusive club”, anyone can join! This is just a fun activity that some of us have enjoyed doing in the past. Many of us have found reading challenges to be an entertaining way to set goals for ourselves, get ideas for books, and see what others are reading. This thread is for you to keep a running tally for your chosen challenge. Please state your goals at the top of your post (in the title line if you can), and then start your list in the body of your post. As you read books, edit your post to update your list of books read, or other challenge status. Please Remember: No discussion posts in this thread. Please use the other thread for that. Non-List posts will be deleted or moved to the other thread. Discussions & Ideas can be found here: Post #2 of this thread is dedicated to a Table of Contents for all participants in this thread. Names will be added to this TOC in alphabetical order with a link to that individual’s post number from this thread. Previous threads were for 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010 Last edited by pdurrant; 12-09-2022 at 05:59 AM. |

Once again, my goal is to buy fewer books than I read.

Ancient World, Germany at War, Victorian, SG Challenge
I've not been hitting my goals in the past few years, so I’ve decided it’s time for a new strategy. I’ve identified the two areas that are speaking to me right now, so I’m just going to see how it goes. The only fixed goal is to participate in the MR/StoryGraph challenge with the aim of reducing my GR WTR list. As always, I’ll set a benchmark of reading 120 books. (I don’t have a problem hitting this, so it’s not a goal per se.). Also as always, I’ll link to the GR account for my various themes as I’m too lazy to list books twice.
ETA: I did throw in a third topic, 19th century and earlier novels. Ancient World Mitteleuropa, i.e., Germany and Central Europe, 1900 to 1950. Victorian (and earlier) Novels StoryGraph Challenge 120 Books Reduce GR WtR to 50 Last edited by issybird; 04-01-2023 at 03:14 PM. |

Completed: October 19th, read 12,000 pages in 2023
I kept the 12,000 page goal that I had used the last couple years; it seems about right for my current needs. Like last year, I read a lot more short stories from podcasts and other audiobooks in general this year. I was way behind until August when I finally got on track by rereading several books. In October I had a long, solo, trip and managed to read three long books to wrap up my goal. I didn't even realize it till a few days later.
Page Goal:: Read 12,000 Pages in 2023. Status as of December 31: 15,244 pages read, 65 books/short stories completed. As usual, I like to look at what years I've been reading. I have completed books from 143 different years, 42 different years read this year of which 6 were new to me. I've included a couple different charts showing who they are distributed. The New Authors chart is also interesting - my "legacy" authors (authors I started reading before 2011) are holding steady at around 25% of the books I read. My "was new authors" (authors first read after 2011 but not this year) is slowly growing, and my "new authors" is slowly shrinking. Although this is by percentage - I've been between 45% and 60% since 2013 - so 3 really high years (>70%) then levelled off afterwards. This shows how quickly I'm finding new "favorite" authors and adding them to my group of "will re-read" and "must read" authors. The last chart I thought I'd include is a chart showing the percentage I read of several genres. As shown, I mostly read science fiction and fantasy (fairly even distribution) and then everything else is about 1/3 of what I read. It's been consistent this way since the first couple years I started tracking. Before I started tracking, I was probably 60% Fantasy, 30% Thrillers (like Clancy or WEB Griffin), and 10% everything else. I hadn't really gotten into Science Fiction yet. Totals
Completed Books: Novels/Novellas (>50 pages) Short Stories (< 50 pages) Audiobooks
My lists: 2024 - 2023 - 2022 - 2021 - 2020 - 2019 - 2018 - 2017 - 2016 - 2015 - 2014 - 2013 - 2012 - 2011 Last edited by Dazrin; 03-07-2024 at 02:40 AM. Reason: Higher quality pictures for year-end update |

One goal: I'm going to read Anna Karenina next year. It's been hanging over my head since I bailed on it when it was assigned in high school, back in the Dark Ages. I read the Cliff Notes instead, and have always felt a little bit guilty about that.
