I’m on 111/90 so I’m over but could you pick some short stories to get you over? Amazon have some fairly decent books in their Amazon Originals range - some of them are well known authors but the books might only be around 70-100 pages. Or can you up it by listening to audiobooks? Again, a couple short ones would get you over 100.

I’m on 151, I actually had no idea 
Audiobooks have played a huge part in this.
My reading has increased dramatically over the last few years:
2018: 13
2019: 50
2020: 40
2021: 66
2022: 135
I’m actually not too fussed about the numbers. I do like to have a book on the go constantly but I don’t attempt to better my previous targets or anything.

125/80 and currently reading book number 126. My goal is to read as many Christmas books as I can manage from my kindle over the next few weeks since some are there since 2021. Doesn't help when I keep adding to it
I’m at 66/50. Currently 30% into sorrow and bliss (and enjoying it!) I think this’ll be the last book of the year for me.
Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro

Kala's really good, such a page-turner!
So far I’m at 83 and my goal was 60! I’ve had a good year. Hoping I can get to 85 just because it feels like a nicer number to finish on 
I’m on 76/75 atm. I have an hour long commute to the office three times a week so I manage to get in six hours of audiobooks in that time each week, which helps. I don’t really care about the numbers, I just wanted to see how many books I was reading with no pressure! Will probably set the same goal for next year just to see if anything changes.

I’ve got 1.5 books left to complete my A-Z but have done terribly on my 23 in 2023.. 11/23 🫣
@Caffeine Fiend so sorry to read this 
I’ve tried to think of book recs but its actually a lot harder to find books without any themes that will be a bit raw than I thought.
When I need something to take my mind off things I tend to go back to childhood books but a lot of them do have quite heavy themes around parents (HP, series of unfortunate events, Jacqueline Wilson, Roald Dahl) so not sure they’d be right here.

There are also some old short stories available online for free - I read a couple of Edgar Allen Poe ones and also The Yellow Wallpaper.
I've had a great year of reading! I read 32 last year and this year I've read 79/52 goal, and currently on my 80th! Good round number to finish the year on!

I see the first book of this is on a 99p deal. Is it good?
I’m on 32/26, a really small figure in comparison! It’s my first year in a long time actively making time to read so I’m happy 
I’m on 87/75 so over for this year, but slacking compared to the 122 I read last year! I did have a baby this year though and his interest in reading is limited so far (unless we count That’s Not My Santa 
).
).
I'm on 36/52 so my target for next year will be 52 again or maybe I'll just aim for more pages read so I'm not put off reading longer books.
It's an improvement from last year but my New year's resolution should definitely be to spend less time on my phone

This is a good idea!
This has kind of been my goal this year. I’ve actively chosen to read longer books, especially those that have been sitting around on my Kindle for ages being overlooked because they were too long!
I’ve still managed to beat my annual target of 50 books (currently on 52 and should get a couple more finished by the end of the year) and read 21,500 pages so far. 10 of those books have been over 500 pages which is definitely way more big books than I’ve read in a year before. I’m hoping to get Polo, the next book in my Jilly Cooper Rutshire series re-read, done over Christmas so that’ll be another one that’s around 700 ish pages!
Aaah I’m so happy. I went to the furthest away book cabinet for the first time in ages, and picked this up! It’s on my 2024 reading list 
Sounds great, I think I'll do that plus have a target of number of books but I'll mainly aim for reading more than this year. My 35 books translate to 13,807 pages according to goodreads.
I need to put it on my tbr list, holding off watching it until I read the bookAaah I’m so happy. I went to the furthest away book cabinet for the first time in ages, and picked this up! It’s on my 2024 reading list

My target for this year was only 30 and I still don't think I'll reach it. I'm in awe of you all!
