Dani's Writing Journey

We are officially four months into 2025, and maybe you are thinking about your Goodreads reading challenge. Can you hit the goal you set in January? Is it too small of a goal and easily reachable or too difficult to hit?

This year, I started with a goal of reading 100 books but quickly got too close to it (thank you, Audible, Hoopla, Libby, and my Master’s program), so I had to increase my goal to 150 books. Now, I am experiencing a reader’s slump or reader’s block and struggling to get through it. All I want to do is read and become engulfed in a good book, but I cannot seem to sit and focus on the page. I am a bit overwhelmed by my goal and have the itch to dive into a new fantasy novel. Each book on my to read list calls my name, begging me to read them.

Anyone else struggling with their reading goals this year?
