I don't do book challenges. I read a lot but I read what I like and I read when I have time at a pace that seems fitting for the book I'm reading. Book challenges just make me feel like I need to hurry up and get through my current book just to up my numbers. I read to enjoy the book not to bump up my numbers.

I think it should. As long as you put the finish date as 2020. I know entered books before I joined the challenge and it counted them!

That makes sense. This is the first year, I am doing a challenge, but I have used good reads to record my book reviews and ratings for a good while!

I think you should challenge yourself to read ONE book. There's got to be one topic that you want to read about or listen to, right?
I don't have time to sit around and read

I'm ready Twelve Years A Slave right now and it's a hard read so that one might take me a few weeks to get through just due to the emotional level of it. That is why I have a few books going at once is so I can read something lighthearted as well to offset the brutality of slavery.
I do this on occasion too.

Do you track all the books you read on Good Reads? You should!

No.. I don't really like goodreads very much. I have found it to be "eh" for me. I don't really track my books. I only know I've read 7 because I just finished them and they are on my Nook library at the top which means I just read them..and several were a series that I blew through.

My younger brother and my tween son follow each other on good reads 😂. They actually do have book recommendations for each other - mostly stuff that’s similar to Percy Jackson and Harry Potter!
