I don’t even know why I’m cheering because my weekend is jam packed with events! 🤦🏻♀️
How are you bloggers and readers doing so far? We have only a few more weeks of 2019, are you ready for 2020?
I feel like the weeks are going by so fast! I have birthdays, holiday events to plan, and less time to read or blog, but know that I’m trying my to best to check out all your posts and keep up with all your reviews. 😘
I was feeling a bit of a reading “slump” in the ending of October and not because I couldn’t find anything to read…it’s because I’ve officially read TOO much this year and I think my brain/body is telling me, no more. My yearly average is usually 50-60 books, at least that’s what I’ve tracked on Goodreads for the last few years. But this year because of my blog and wanting to build a following I have now read 178 books….😱, how is that even possible?! And that doesn’t even include all the children’s books I’ve read to my kids all year, only some of them are listed on there. If I minus those from my Goodreads list it still brings it down to maybe 150. My children’s books review blog faltered this year because I was reading so much of everything else.
A few of these books are arcs that publish in 2020 but wow…I’m curious how many books do you usually read in a year? I have a goal to read LESS starting next month because I have too many things to do as is, and am definitely going to have a limit in 2020.
Did you meet your reading goals this year or exceed them? Are you like me and need to read less? How many books do you read a year? Leave me a comment below!

I’m on track to have read 100 books for the first time since I was in high school! I just graduated from college, so there’s definitely a correlation there 😊
Yes and also now that I read arcs from NetGalley, I’ve been reading so much more!
I don’t set a number to read in any given year because some years I’ll read a lot of big books and some years I’m all about shorter ones. But I tend to average anywhere from 125 to 175 books. :)))
You rock Emer! I feel like I can’t read anymore haha, but I have a few arcs I have to finish up before Jan, so I’m trying to work on those now.
I’m on 260-something but I know what you mean about hitting a reading slump and needing a break! I think this is an average amount of books for me per year (I haven’t really counted before this year) but it seems like due to the blog I’ve been reading more widely in genre and that’s taken it out of me. I’ve decided to go back to my good old fav of romance to keep me happily reading until the end of the year. In 2020 though I’m definitely planning on monitoring my genres though! Awesome post Yolanda, this really made me think about my reading habits! Jen
This was my first year tracking what I read. I only started 6 months ago and I have read 22 books. I can’t imagine reading 178 in a year but I probably will end up doing 100 next year. I am in school and work full time so i struggle to find time to read. I totally wish I could just read and write for my blog every day! There are so many books I want to read before the year is done though.
2019 went by so incredibly fast. Ive never experienced a year fly by that quickly. Im a little disappointed I havent kept up with as many series as I had planned since ARCs have been taken priority.
