I find that setting a goal is one of the things that encourages me to read at all, so I've been trying to read a book every two weeks and I've kept to that pretty well this year. Even in my best reading years I've never actually reached a 30 book total (25 can be a stretch too, and I'm at 21 right now), so maybe I'll try to go for that.
I also have quite a few books on my shelf that I've never read, but most of them still seem interesting to me. My plan is to try and finish them all and then donate all the ones I never intend to reread. (10 of the ones I read this year were ones I already own, so I'm doing alright at this) There are some that I've been collecting since I was 16-17 and first got seriously into reading, but I'm just not as keen about owning a ton of physical objects anymore.
I also want to read more in my second language now that my skills have increased enough to do so. So I might try to alternate one English book with one foreign language book for the whole year.
