2023 Reading Challenge

How many books do I hope to read in 2023?  I'm making a wild guess that I'll complete 123 books in 2023.  This image is from Goodreads; do you want to join us?  Do you track your reading — your books completed?  Here's the number I've finished in recent years:
  • 2022 — 136
  • 2021 — 103
  • 2020 — 81
  • 2019 — 77
  • 2018 — 99
  • 2017 — 81
  • 2016 — 110
  • 2015 — 71
  • 2014 — 95
  • 2013 — 78
  • 2012 — 102
  • 2011 — 208 (160 adult / YA books + 48 children's books)
  • 2010 — 123
  • 2009 — 93
So how did I pick 123 as my number?  I decided on 100 adult books (that's a nice round number) plus 23 children's books (because of the year).  That's a silly way to pick a goal, I know.  But that's my number, and I'm sticking to it.
