hi everyone!! i’ve been thinking the past few days about what books i want to read in 2026, and my overall reading goal. i was wondering, for those of you who read a lot (for context, i only read 21 books this year, way fewer than many of you) do you try to read a certain amount every day/week?
i’m wondering if having a weekly reading goal for myself might help with keeping it up. say, having a goal of reading at least 4 days a week, with one of those days being a reading session that’s longer than 45 minutes or so. just curious if any of you have structured yourself in a way like this to avoid falling behind but also not getting burnt out!! thank you so much in advance 🫶🫶

For 2026 I am determined to slow down and read more mindfully. As a part of this I would like to start annotating some of my books... but outside of my (admittedly English Lit) degree I have never done it before. Do any of you annotate for fun? Any tips and tricks gratefully appreciated!

Because wdm that i've read 81 books this year, and I was feeling that I've read very little 💀💀💀. social media has rotten my brain.This is the friendly reminder that whatever number you read in a year, it's already much more than most of the people around you! You should feel really proud 🫂🤍. And the most important part, did you enjoy it?

This is probably one of the oldest debates within the book community. Some reader feel proud of pirating everything, others literally perform public "cancelations" when they discover someone doing so, and the list goes on...but this has never happened in the movie/film area. Is it because the directors are usually rich/big companies, and the writers aren't? Is it because if you read you are supposed to be more ethical? (I think we all should, regardless of the field). What do you guys think?

It's an intriguing book with pearls of wisdom, drawn from myths and fairytales. I am really glad i had picked this up!

I am enjoying a lot "courting the wild twin", and i am searching for similar book recs 🤎. I am starting a small proyect called "soul food", in which i try to read every 2 months at least 1 book that feeds my soul, keeps me inspired and in contact with my esoteric path. Feel free to give some recs that fit this description!! (Also, winter is the BEST season to enjoy those reading hehe).

Always set a way lower number of the amount of books that you normally read in a year. 🔸What is your favorite "method" for having a healthy reading goal?

I am searching for some high-fantasy books (complex and interesting Magic systems, basically) who aren't the typical that you see on Instagram all the time. Leave your recs please!
