Reading Goals for 2016

I know it's the end of April, but I have decided to set myself some reading goals for 2016. I would like to read at least fifty books this year. I have already marked down the number of books I've read so far, and I have adjusted my monthly goals accordingly. I have decided to include re-reads, because they are still books that I have read. As of April 25th, 2016, I have read thirteen books. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but I had a lot going on at the beginning of the year, with moving house, some personal things that happened; and general 'life' stuff which got in the way of my reading. In saying that, I have read four books in the past week and a half or so. So I have made a good amount of progress and I am on track for the remainder of 2016.

I will be tracking my progress throughout the next eight months, keeping this blog updated as I go along reading and I am very confident that I will be able to meet my goal. As I have read thirteen books so far, I have thirty-seven books to go. That works out to 4.6 books per month for the rest of the year, to meet my goal. Obviously that is an odd number, so I figure I need to read four books per month for seven months; and one month where I read five books. Easy! I might readjust the numbers later on, depending on how much progress I make with my reading. I could end up reading sixty or seventy books if things go really well, but for now, I am targeting fifty.
