So what’s the secret to reading 100 books in a year?

Now I know that number can sound overwhelming. Life is busy, and finding the time to read often feels impossible. You have work, family, and responsibilities constantly pulling at you from every direction. And let’s be honest — sometimes you’re just too tired to crack open a book at the end of a long day.

Maybe you tried setting reading goals before, but somehow you always end up falling behind. Your books begin to gather dust on your nightstand. As a result, you scroll through your social media feed, enviously seeing others celebrate their latest reads, and think, “How do they find the time to read so much?”

Trust me, I’ve been there.

I know what it’s like to have a growing pile of “must-read” books and not enough hours in the day to get through any of them. 

But here’s the good news: There’s no secret formula or magic trick required to read 100 books a year. The only “secret” is that you need to read a lot.

That’s it.

This might not be the “secret” you were hoping for, but the truth is that anyone can read 100 books in a year.

You don’t need to be a speed reader, a bookworm, or someone with infinite free time. You just need to make reading a consistent part of your daily life.

So how do you actually find time to read 100 books in a year without sacrificing your sanity?
