Book Challenges - The One Where Some Goals Are Bigger Than Others

Welcome to Chapter One, Scene One - The Podcast. Every year, readers everywhere set ambitious book challenges and reading goals… and every year, those plans somehow collide with real life. In this episode, we’re talking all about yearly reading challenges—why we set them, why we break them, and whether they actually make reading more enjoyable or just more stressful.We dive into book count goals, genre challenges, mood reading, DNFs, and the pressure that can come from tracking every page. From Goodreads goals to book slumps, we’re sharing our honest experiences with what works, what doesn’t, and how our relationship with reading has evolved over time.If you’ve ever felt guilty for not hitting a reading goal, abandoned a challenge halfway through the year, or questioned whether reading should even be measured at all, this episode is for you. Consider this your permission slip to read in a way that actually fits your life—no rules required.Come join us as we discuss and we will reveal our first handful of books for the podcast in between our rabbit hole conversations.
