2024 Reading Challenges

Every year, I always love sitting down and writing my Bookish Goals and Challenges. I am definitely pulling back on the amount of challenges I am going to be participating in this year as my main goal is to get rid of the amount of pressure that I put on myself. I continuously find myself racing through books and telling myself that I am not being fast enough etc with my reading and so I have decided to get rid of all stress and pressure and remind myself this is a hobby, not my whole life.

Main Reading Goals For 2024:

• Read 52 Books, that’s one a week… stress free!
• It’s okay if I don’t read every day!
• Take your time with each book. Don’t rush it… just enjoy the ride!

Challenge 1: Finish A Series Challenge

I have 60+ series that I have started and not finished. Due to my determination to keep this year stress free, I am not putting a number on how many I want to finish, but rather just saying I’d like to be less than 60 by the end of the year!

Challenge 2: RARE Edinburgh Challenge

I will be attending the RARE Edinburgh event in September 2024 and so I am challenging myself to read some new authors who will be attending the event. I am very excited about this one and there will be a post coming soon, showing some of the ‘potentials’ I’m hoping to read.

Challenge 3: Read 12 Books Recommended by 12 Friends

I love this challenge. 2024 will be the third year that I have taken on this challenge, and I managed to finish all 12 in 2023. Let’s hope that I manage to replicate this. Here are the 12 books that have been recommended to me.

Challenge 4: ARC Catch Up Challenge

Much like my series challenge, this is a low pressure challenge of try and have the number of ARCs I have less by the end of the year than they are now. Currently I have a backlist of 78 pre-2024 ARCs. If I can get it to 70 I’d be more than happy with that.

That’s all my challenges for the year. What challenges do you have this year?
