It’s a new year so it’s time to set some goals for my 2026 reads! Now, I do these as something to aim towards/ as motivation but they are fairly loosey goosey.
Let me first say, all reading is good, whether you manage 1 book or 100. Audio books are reading, manga and graphic novels are reading… essentially, however you consume your books, it’s all good
My reading goals
So last year I set a goal of 100 books, with the aim to read 50 book-books (physical/ digital), alongside audios.
You can discover everything I read in my 2025 reading wrap-up but in short, I read 70 total: 40 books and 30 audios.
I didn’t quite manage some of the other challenges but they were a little ambitious to be honest.
In summary:
- 100 books – 50/50 split between audio and books.
- 40,000 pages again – because I didn’t’ hit that this year
- 5 non-fiction books
- At least one of my 1k pages books
- 10 books 500+ pages
I actually made my own challenges on Storygraph for my non-fiction goal and longer pages goal:
Join the 5 non-fiction books challenge here
Join the 10 books 500+ here
Join the 1k books challenge here.
What are your goals? If you’re looking for ideas, I made a blog with 8 goals/ challenge ideas for next year you can use to track your reads!
