This year I seemed to have completed my 2018 Reading Challenge earlier than I expected. This came as a shock to me the day before yesterday when I finished a book and noticed it was my 200th this year, as I am in my summer reading slump.
Originally, I started keeping track of books I was reading to prevent myself from picking up a book I’d already read by mistake. It’s never really been about the quantity of books I read, as I would read them regardless, as reading is a habit I’ve had for decades.
Usually when I reach whatever target I’ve set for the year, I just carry on reading. I have exceeded my book goals every year since I started keeping track in 2013. So although I may not finish a book today or tomorrow and the number of books I read this week may not equal one, it’s okay. Eventually, I will pick up pace again when there are fewer things to take up my time outside of books.

Well done! I fell off the reading wagon after I fell into a reading slump. Its been over ayear and I still cant seem to get my rhythm back. I still read now and again but I cancelled my reading goals for this year because I couldn’t bare to be reminded by goodreads how badly I was doing.
Hopefully your reading will pick up again and mine too!!

Thank you, I just need that one captivating book to grab me again, but Iām in no hurry. Reading is supposed to be fun, when you feel pressure it sucks the fun right out of it.
