It's okay if you don't meet your yearly reading goal. You don't have to rush to meet it. You don't need to add extra pressure to your already chaotic life for a number. Read because you enjoy it. Read because you are curious about different worlds, stories, loves, and characters. Don't feel like you need to 'cheat the system' by reading short books you don't actually want to read. If you want to work hard to meet your goal that's great. I hope you do! Just don't be hard on yourself if don't or can't. You can change your goal to be more realistic. You don't have to meet your past self's expectations.
