Sonechka Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Hi everyone!! I realize most people tend to start these posts at the beginning of the year, but since I am a newcomer and am quite impatient, I figured I'd start one for the rest of this year. I hope that is okay and doesn't break any rules. I am quite behind on my reading goal for this year. My goal was 50 books and I am currently at around 25. I am hoping that documenting my reading here will help to motivate me reach my goal as I tend to enjoy discussing what I'm reading with others, and as an extremely shy introvert, that is not always an option in real life unfortunately. A little bit about my reading, I tend to buy books far faster than I read them therefore I am currently not buying any books and will try to stick to that until I read all (or at least, most of) what I currently own. My favorite genres are classics, literary fiction and I have recently gotten into romance (and of course the first thing I did was go on ebay and buy tons of used romance paperbacks, spending all my money on them). I am also trying to read more non-fiction. I read Crime and Punishment and Anna Karenina not too long ago and absolutely fell in love!! And so it is also a goal of mine to read all of Dostoyevsky's and Tolstoy's works (although I do not own all of Tolstoy's works so I can't see myself accomplishing that goal any time soon, at least not without breaking my no-buy). Anyway, I'm really glad I found this community and look forward to discussing books with you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hi Sonechka. Starting a reading log at any time of the year is fine and you can keep it running after the end of the year. Good luck with no book buying, it's a common problem with our members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought I would probably want to get a fresh start at the new year, as I am one of those people who makes lots of plans at the beginning of every year. I hope that's also okay!! Yeah, I definitely am already finding it a bit difficult to not buy any books even though I've only been on this no-buy for about a month.

That's absolutely fine too. I love starting a new reading log at the beginning of every year . If it makes you feel better about your reading goal, mine was 50 too and I've only read 16 so far!
