I know we don't usually have titles but I loved it and there are no rules here. Thread title suggested by @LaBlonde and @StephenTJackson.

Happy Reading ☺ we are into the final 3 months of the year. Thought we could maybe discuss where we are with our targets (if you set one)

My target was 100, 78 down, I may or may not reach it but I'm pleased I've got all those books read. Been a bit slow lately and will definitely slow right down over Christmas as its so busy.
 
My target was 40, I met that so increased to 80. I've completed 69 and in the middle of both 70 and 71 so shouldn't have a problem meeting my target.

I've only read digital or audio books this year, no physical books 😯 so my plan is to continue and do my best to read as many as possible from my BB TBR and hit the physical TBR next year.

Wow this is amazing. I’ve been in a reading slump for years and seem to average about 3 books a year 🙈 I’ve finished six so far this year but that’s in less than two months.

How much time do you think you spend reading each day? I sometimes wonder if I’m a slow reader because even when I’m gripped on a book it still seems to take me 4-7 days. So these kind of numbers are mind blowing to me!
 
I think I may have underestimated myself this year 😂 think I’ll edit and put it up to 50.

My target was 100 books and I’m at 122. Last year I read 135 so I imagine it’ll be about the same this year as I guess I won’t read as many in December.

I’ve always enjoyed reading but it’s only been the last 2/3 years where I’ve read so much. I used to finish a book and have to leave it a few days before starting another. Now, I’m never not reading or listening to something.

I think it’s my biggest hobby - that and browsing and buying books of course, as we all appreciate that’s two separate hobbies 🥰

I probably spend 30 mins to an hour each day (bedtime) but if I can get some me time at weekends I might read during the day too. I read anything from 3-12 books a month, has been at the lower end the scale for the past 3 months. I'm better at reading in the winter than the summer.

I have to admit to being a fast reader. I can gobble a book up in a day. 🤭😀
Once I get past the books I have left to read I'm going to be very firm with myself. 2 books a week max!!!
like you haven't already said that a thousand times!!!🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
 
My target is 76, Ive read 74. Ive had a very up and down reading year, started strong and the middle of the year was poor quality and quantity wise to be honest. Its picked up again but Im not reading as much as I did last year (102)

I listened to more audiobooks last year whereas Ive had a more intense work load this year so havent had the opportunity and listened to music or podcasts instead.
