I have read 60! I had no idea until I looked at GoodReads stats. Granted, I am retired and love to read. I impressed myself!

50. Last year I read 52 so I'm down a bit, but I'm happy with my total.

74 so far. I will finish one today and will make my goodreads goal of 75. I am a school librarian so many of the books I read are for 7-9th graders. I don't read at work, ( a lot of people think I get to sit around and read all day), so although it is my job I only read at home!

38, and hope to finish this last one to be at 39. Not the 50 that was my goal, but that's okay!

41. I'm pretty happy with this since my goal was 20.

80 for me. I’m good with that. First time I’ve read under 100 in many years.

Currently reading #106, but it’s a lovely fat book, 500+ pages, “The Lincoln Highway” and I don’t know if I will finish it by tomorrow night. It’s good so far, so I might. I don’t watch much TV, hence my book total. I try to read 100 books a year.

I'm working on 161, I suspect it is the last one for the year.
I am below last year (hopefully will never have another year of pandemic panic reading,) but tracking my standards.

Holy smokes - I feel so inadequate - I thought I was doing good because I read 12 (about 1 a month). That is a lot for me in a year.

I'm at 100 only for the second time ever (the other year was 2014.) SAHM, COVID, not really watching a lot of TV... I'm not sure I can do it again in 2022 so I'm only setting my goal at 75 next year. I read a lot of middle-grade which helps...

Wow - I definitely fell short of my goal - only 15 books. But I’ll say reading my weekly New Yorker and also new cookbooks does take up a lot of my reading time. But I also waste too much time on the internet (cough cough here)

Five. And four of them were pregnancy or infant related. I hope to get more time for leisure reading in 2022.

I’m at 102. It’s actually quite low for me… I’m usually in the 130-150 range.

I'm working on #124 for the year. Hoping to hit 125 before the end of the year, but we'll see. This is about average for me, although last year I read 141 due to the pandemic shut downs.

But I also waste too much time on the internet (cough cough here) Me too! I hesitate to think of how many more books I could have read if I limited internet time. Maybe an attempt at a NY’s resolution? Nah, probably not! And I need to resubscribe to the NY-er, I like it too.

I read 17 and that's good for me. I have trouble reading after a day spent working on my computer.

I only read 40 this year. That number is very low for me.

Finishing my 55th book and 23rd audio. Just a few more than normal for me. Most books I've ever read. I've done this many audio before. I like to count them separately, just my preference. Holy smokes - I feel so inadequate - I thought I was doing good because I read 12 (about 1 a month). That is a lot for me in a year. 12 more than a majority of people. Nothing wrong with that.

I never keep track. I read because I want to and having a goal to meet would make me feel pressured to try and meet the goal. Even keeping track without a goal would make me feel pressured, comparing it to previous totals. I read pretty much every day. I don't need to know what it adds up to.

I don’t keep track. The last time I kept track I was in elementary school & participated in the town library’s summer reading program. I read more than any other kid in town. They all thought I loved to read. I do love to read, but will admit back then I was motivated by the stickers. We got a really cool, big sticker for every 5 books we read! Wish I kept those stickers. They would look great on a scrapbooking page!!!

I’ve visually read 20 books and audio- read 43 books this year.
I listen to books when I walk daily and when I drive, so I spend more time reading via audible than I do sitting down with a book (which I love too).

53 books- well below my 75 book goal. I knew I would have less reading time this year for a variety of reasons so set a lower than usual goal but not low enough apparently

I have many hobbies that I enjoy and time is limited. I've added audiobooks which contributed to 1/2 my reading. I can drive, walk, crochet etc while I listen to my audiobook.

I did the Goodreads reading challenge this year. I wasn't sure what to set my goal at and chose 40. I am at 23. I can't decide if I should keep it at 40 for next year or lower it to 30. I definitely could have read more (or listened to more audiobooks instead of podcasts) but I don't know how some of you read so much. I think I must be a slow reader.

I do not know because I am not great at keeping track, but I usually read three a week.

I'm at 56 and will probably finish my current book tonight. My goal was 52. Last year I think I was in the 80s, but my goal was also 52. I think having some reprieve from COVID put me at less reading time, and discovering TikTok - I'm watching that at night before too.

106, but I will finish 107 today on my way home from Boston. I'm also working on 108 right now but it's kind of a more involved read (The Overstory) and will take me into 2022.
