2020 Reading Goals Check-In April

I’m looking at my goals to see how I’m doing so far.

1. Read at least 100 books 50/100 I have some big books coming up on my TBR so I’m glad to be 17 books ahead on my goal at the moment. 
2. Own fewer unread books at the end of the year than I have at the beginning. I was afraid to check my stats for this one, but I did. At the end of April I own  65 more unread books then I did at the beginning of the year. 
3. Finish reading all of the books I have records of for 2017. I still have just one of these books finished so far this year. I have plans to finish one other in May and will then focus on reading books from these yearly goals in June.

5. Complete the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge for 2020. 32/50 Doing good so far. I’m almost at the point where I will have to choose a book based on a prompt instead of just reading books and seeing where I can fit them. 
6. Participate in Booktube Rereadathon 2020. So far I have finished the January and February prompts. I fell behind with the move, but hope to catch up March, April, and May prompts this month.

Reading is going well overall. Not buying books isn’t. I’m happy with my progress overall though.
