I thought I'd give you all an update on how I'm doing with my Goodreads reading challenge. If you aren't familiar with the Goodreads reading challenge, here's the gist: you set a specific number of books that you plan to read over the course of the year.
Since I've started the Goodreads reading challenge, I've changed my reading goal a couple of times. I either increased or decreased the number of books based on how many books I've read by that point. Usually, this happens by the end of the year, usually in late November or December. And I usually do this when I feel like I can squeeze in a couple more books or if I want to relieve any pressure or stress.
This year, my reading goal is at 125 books. I think I changed it once earlier this year, but I can't quite recall. (Oops, lol.) To meet this goal, I need to read about 10.5 books per month. So far, I've read 56 books. Apparently, I'm also 8 books ahead of schedule. I'm actually feeling pretty good about my reading challenge for 2021, which is a positive thing.
To calculate how many books you need to read per month to meet your reading challenge, simply divide your reading goal by 12. For mine, it's 125÷12, which results in 10.416. I just rounded mine up to 10.5 since that's the easiest thing to do.
However, do not feel pressured to know how many books you need to read per month. If it helps you gauge your time, then go for it. But it's not a necessity. Oftentimes, it can stress you out. Unless calculating how many books you need to read per month actually helps you in one way or another, don't feel obligated to do it.
