Let's Talk Bookish; How Many Books Do You Read in a Year?

It's Friday yet again, which means it's probably time for another Let's Talk Bookish post courtesy of Book Nook Bits and Dinipanda Reads. Today's topic was how many books do you read in a year?

Here's the further prompts for today's discussion.

How many books do you typically read in a year? Do you always track your reading? Does keeping track of the books you read motivate you, or stress you out? How do you keep track of the books you read? Do you have a 2025 reading goal?

It sometimes varies a bit how many books I read in a year, but the last few years it's been roughly 100 books. I keep track on Goodreads how many books I've read, and it enables me to be on track or preferably be a little bit ahead, just in case something should happen (like me getting sick or having a reading slump). That said, I don't stress or panic if I fall behind, as it's not a competition.

This year though, I'm putting the petal to the metal a little bit and I've aimed for 200 books, as I've got so many books in my TBR shelves and it would be nice to make a bit of a dent in the mentioned to-be-read shelves. Not that I complain about having plenty of unread books, but it would be nice to read them sooner or later.
