Do you set reading goals for yourself or participate in reading challenges? (self.literature)

Do you set goals like reading a certain number of books in a year? Participate in reading challenges?

I don’t set goals around reading a certain number of books. Those have always seemed arbitrary and not helpful for my reading. I have done reading challenges in the past, though—the yearly Book Riot Read Harder Challenge, the yearly reading challenge from PopSugar, book bingo. I like those types of challenges for helping me to break out of my comfort zone and try new authors and genres! I’ve also made my own challenges. What are some of your favorite reading challenges?

I never set specific goals. However discipline is always an important ingredient in any activity that I want to gain something from. So I often push myself to read a little bit more often and a bit more than I would've otherwise. But I only read books that I both find stimulating and that I believe contain knowledge that I can gain from.
