Help me hit my January Reading Goal!

1/21 Edited to

... Read moreSetting ambitious reading goals can be both motivating and rewarding. I’ve found that turning my social media followers into reading milestones adds an extra layer of accountability and excitement to my daily routine. For this January challenge, I’m tackling 2,240 pages across some fantastic books such as "Between Two Kings" by Lindsay Straube, "Tenthousand" by Alixe Harrow, and "The Assassin's Blade" by Sarah J. Maas. To keep myself on track, I break down the large page count into manageable daily goals and celebrate small wins along the way. Engaging with fellow book lovers through hashtags like #readinggoal and #readingchallenge has introduced me to great discussions that deepen my appreciation for each story. Plus, knowing that every new follower pushes me closer to my target makes the journey interactive and fun. If you’re trying to build a reading habit, I highly recommend setting a clear page count or book list and finding a community for support — it makes a huge difference. Sharing insights and progress keeps motivation high, and tracking pages turned helps you visualize achievement. Whether it’s fantasy, historical fiction, or contemporary tales, focusing on diverse genres keeps the experience fresh. So, if you enjoy books and want to contribute to my progress — just hit follow! Together we can make this reading challenge inspiring and fulfilling for everyone involved.

For feminine rage and unsettling horror, you should read LAST STOP by Paul Lundy. Six nightshift nurse's try to survive Halloween night at a nursing home. A new patient, John Doe, arrives in a coma followed by a violent storm that cuts off all communications and all hope of being rescued. Only available on Amazon.
