is anyone else doing 75 booked?
I'm planning on starting 75 books in December, so whatever habits I start to build with the challenge will hopefully continue into 2026, too. But, I'm curious... what are everyone's goals? I know some are taking it really seriously and making it really regimented, but I've taken a more laidback approach, I think.
my goals:
- read every day - i know myself and i know i can read every day, but i also know that i often have migraine fare ups where my brain can be out of order for weeks at a time, so i would love to do the two 45 min reading sessions a day but i know myself and that's just not going to always be possible for me. Also, reading slumps are a thing so I don't want to force it.
- Wake up between 5 and 7 and read soon after waking up. We're trying to build an early riser, early reader routine! If possible: 2 reading sessions per day (for however long as I like, as long as I am genuinely reading the book, even if it's just a page or finishing a chapter) - preferably one when I wake up and one before I go to sleep
- Fill and try to finish a water bottle each day - cheat code: it may be a water bottle, but who says I have to fill it with water?
- Keep up to date with and maintain a Google Sheets doc of everything I read
goals I'm NOT doing
- I'm NOT doing a book-buying ban. I've noticed that the majority of the books I'm reading at the moment are backlists or preorders I've already bought or library loans. So, I'm really only buying books I have every intention of reading in the next month or two (with a few sneaky Kindle deals thrown in there every now and again)
- I'm NOT doing two 45-minute reading sessions per day. I talked about this before, but I have MS so I have some really bad days body-wise and get some absolutely cracker migraines, so expecting me to be able to do the same things I could do on a good day, on days when I can't turn the lights on or get out of bed? Yeah... no.

Anne of Green Gables (Anne of Green Gables, #1)
L.M. Montgomery
This heartwarming story has beckoned generations of readers into the special world of Green Gables, an old-fashioned farm outside a town called Avonlea. Anne Shirley, an eleven-year-old orphan, has arrived in this verdant corner of Prince Edward Island only to discover that the Cuthbertsâelderly Matthew and his stern sister, Marillaâwant to adopt a boy, not a feisty redheaded girl. But before they can send her back, Anneâwho simply must have more scope for her imagination and a real homeâwins them over completely. A much-loved classic that explores all the vulnerability, expectations, and dreams of a child growing up, Anne of Green Gables is also a wonderful portrait of a time, a place, a family⊠and, most of all, love.

The Grace Year
Kim Liggett
No one speaks of the grace year. Itâs forbidden.
In Garner County, girls are told they have the power to lure grown men from their beds, to drive women mad with jealousy. They believe their very skin emits a powerful aphrodisiac, the potent essence of youth, of a girl on the edge of womanhood. Thatâs why theyâre banished for their sixteenth year, to release their magic into the wild so they can return purified and ready for marriage. But not all of them will make it home alive.
Sixteen-year-old Tierney James dreams of a better lifeâa society that doesnât pit friend against friend or woman against woman, but as her own grace year draws near, she quickly realizes that itâs not just the brutal elements they must fear. Itâs not even the poachers in the woods, men who are waiting for a chance to grab one of the girls in order to make a fortune on the black market. Their greatest threat may very well be each other.
With sharp prose and gritty realism, The Grace Year examines the complex and sometimes twisted relationships between girls, the women they eventually become, and the difficult decisions they make in-between.

Baek Se-hee
The South Korean runaway bestseller, debut author Baek Se-Heeâs intimate therapy memoirâthink Crying in H Mart meets Maybe You Should Talk to Someone.
PSYCHIATRIST: So how can I help you?
ME: I donât know, Iâmâwhatâs the wordâdepressed? Do I have to go into detail?
Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about herâwhat to call it?âdepression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgmental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends; adept at performing the calmness, even ease, her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can't be normal.
But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a yen for her favorite street food: the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like?
Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions, and harmful behaviors that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Part memoir, part self-help book, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness. It will appeal to anyone who has ever felt alone or unjustified in their everyday despair.

The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World
Robin Wall Kimmerer
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass, a bold and inspiring vision for how to orient our lives around gratitude, reciprocity, and community, based on the lessons of the natural world.As indigenous scientist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberryâs relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealthâits abundance of sweet, juicy berriesâto meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution insures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, âServiceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.â As Elizabeth Gilbert writes, Robin Wall Kimmerer is âa great teacher, and her words are a hymn of love to the world.â The Serviceberry is an antidote to the broken relationships and misguided goals of our times, and a reminder that âhoarding wonât save us, all flourishing is mutual.â

Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries (Emily Wilde, #1)
Heather Fawcett
A curmudgeonly professor journeys to a small town in the far north to study faerie folklore and discovers dark fae magic, friendship, and love in the start of a heartwarming and enchanting new fantasy series.
Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world's first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party--or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, and the Fair Folk.
So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: her dashing and insufferably handsome academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, get in the middle of Emily's research, and utterly confound and frustrate her.
But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones--the most elusive of all faeries--lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: Who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want? To find the answer, she'll have to unlock the greatest mystery of all--her own heart.

The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #1)
Lemony Snicket
Dear Reader,
I'm sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very first page of this book when the children are at the beach and receive terrible news, continuing on through the entire story, disaster lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune.
In this short book alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, and cold porridge for breakfast.
It is my sad duty to write down these unpleasant tales, but there is nothing stopping you from putting this book down at once and reading something happy, if you prefer that sort of thing.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket
