[Book Blogger Hop] How Many Books I Hope To Read In 2019

January 25, 2019      Erica Robyn      38 Comments

Book Blogger Hop Meme

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a “hop”. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.

For this week’s Book Blogger Hop question, Elizabeth @ Silver’s Reviews asked:

How many books did you read last year? Will your goal be to match that number or surpass it?

BBH My Answer

Last year my goal was to read 100 books and I surpassed that! I actually read 123 books in 2018.

My goal for this year is to read 100 books, but we’ll see how it goes! I have quite a few 700+ books on my TBR this year!

Thanks for reading!
Did you set a number of books you want to read this year?

    Last year I set a goal of 100, not knowing what the year would be like, and ended up reading 150! This year I'm sticking with a goal of 100 again.

    I think the really long books will bite me this year! I have 7 over 600 pages that are definitely getting read, one of which is over 1000! But my first book of the tear was a 27pg kids book so… Perspective. 😂

    Good luck with your goal!

    You did great with reading last year. My goal count is the same as yours this year. I hope we will both be able to reach it! 700+ on your TBR… so many books to choose from 😉

    It was about 157 books I read last year but at least thirty were short stories and there were novellas in there too. I was disappointed by my total and I'm going for 200 this year!

    You did it last year, I have faith in you to do it again! I set my goal to one, same as last year, because I decided I don't like being pressured with numbers. It works for me!

      I read a lot of novellas and comics, so my numbers are a bit deceptive! 🙂

    Wow, that's some TBR List. I constantly go through my list and delete books. If I look at the title and cannot remember why I wanted to read it, I delete it.
