The Reading by the Numbers Challenge is the reading challenge at its most basic--just track everything you read. Anything counts--graphic novels or comic books, hard copy, e-books, audio novels, etc. If it is a book, it counts. And although the covers shown in the challenge image are all mysteries, you may read from any and all genres that interest you. Just set a goal and when January 1 comes around, start reading.
I blew by my goal of 100 in 2022, so last year I upped the ante a bit to 150. That seems to be a good goal and I'm going to stick with it for 2024. Hopefully, I'll rack up more than that. But with 150 I can claim the challenge complete.
