Do you set any kind of reading goals?

Do you try to read a certain number of books a year?

Do you want to read more of a certain genre? Or just more of a variety of genres?

I am curious to hear about any kind of reading goals you may have.

I know that I'm an on-and-off reader, so I put down 12. Sometimes I'll blitz through a 1000 page book in a week, sometimes I'll not read for months.

I've got a StoryGraph account and have joined some reading challenges, but I don't think I'll be able to stick to them. I plan to read certain books, then I see something else and go "Oooh! Shiny!!" and then the planned reads are forgotten.

I have found that I like to have two books on the go so I can switch between the two depending on my mood. I did this with two fantasy/dragon genres, and I probably shouldn't do that again. I started mixing them up.

Ive just finished a book and about 2/3 of the way of another, so I'm looking for another to fill the gap. Just cracked Yellowface by Rebecca F Kuang, but it hasn't hooked me yet.

    I use StoryGraph for mobile tracking, then I move the data into an excel file. I like it mostly to compile an image of the covers.

    I also sometimes read 2 books at a time, but I try to read different genres because I get them mixed up in my head. I’ll read a scifi and a romance or a fantasy. Or I’ve also been fitting in a graphic novel or middle grade novel as the secondary read.
