I started reading in October last year and I had read 6 books before New Years so I figured 20 books in 2022 seemed like a reasonable goal. It is now Dec 30 and Iā€™m 40 pages away from finishing my first book of the year :/

That's ok. Sometimes life gets in the way; sometimes we set a goal too high and demotivate ourselves. But you've read a book this year. You can use that as a minimum goal for next year: to read more than 1 book. Anything more than 2 will be a bonus. Celebrate yourself for what you've done, don't beat yourself up for what you didn't. It will not encourage you.

That's my goal as well. This year I've only read 5 books. Hoping that I find and read some great books in 2023.
