"Read more books" is a popular New Year's resolution, but—call us biased—we think it should be the only resolution you make. Because what's more fun and rewarding than reading amazing books? And to help you, we have the 2019 Goodreads Reading Challenge!
It's simple: Set a goal of how many books you want to read this year, and we'll help you keep track of it. How many books will you be pledging?
After several years of offering the Reading Challenge, we know what helps people enjoy their year of reading. Here's some of our best advice.
Pro Tips for Reaching Your Goal:
Plan Accordingly
Push yourself, but be realistic. Avoid the dreaded reading slump by committing to an achievable goal. You can always increase the number of books later.
Use the calendar as a guideline: 12 books (one per month), 24 books (two per month), or even 52 books (one per week).
Reading shouldn't feel like a chore. Remember, this challenge is all about what you want to read. But don't take our word for it: See what these experts have to say.
Boost Your Progress
Rereading counts! So by all means, go ahead and dive into those old favorites.
Listen to audiobooks. This is a great way to read more and multitask.
Check out books at your local library so it's easier to start your next book. Add your local library's website to your Book Links to request a book and have it ready for pickup later.
Keep yourself accountable. Sharing an activity with others makes you more likely to focus. Join one of our thousands of reading groups devoted to a range of topics, themes, and genres.
Use your Want to Read shelf to help keep track of what you'd like to read next. You can also create custom bookshelves for easy sorting.
