I seem to have hit my top score back in 2015 with a Good Reads goal of 200 and reading 302. It has steadily gone downhill ever since. I only signed on for 125 in 2021 and have read 128. I need to quit watching so much Netflix and Hulu and go back to reading or audiobook listening. I'm going for 125 again and hope that is not too far beyond my actual capability.

I'm going to start with 100.  2022 is looking rough, and filled with "I won't have time to read things I want to" things already.

I'm aiming for 135 next year

I added a new tab for 2022 to the database

I am impressed the 2022 tab is in place already!! 

Me too, my numbers have been going downhill. A few years back I used to read over 150. But that was when I had 2 hrs of commute a day, and my phone was not so smart. I don't regret the shorter commute, and a few nights I actually try to turn off the phone early and read in my bed instead. I really enjoyed it.

I think losing my 2 hours of commute time has also slowed my reading. That and being home so I can watch more streaming media. I always thought I'd fly through my Mt. TBR when I retired, but that has not proved to be the case.

You know, this past year has been rough for concentration for me as well. 

I need to finish adding to the 2021 tab.

LOL!  I recall my Aunt saying she thought she'd get all these things she never had time to do done once she retired.  Then she said she had no idea how she got stuff done before she retired.. as post retirement was busier than before she retired.

I'd say you are SO not alone.   *hug*

I'm going to attempt 85 in 2022. Optimistic of no further brain crashes, and a bit of a stretch above what I managed last year.
