Set reading goals in Books on iPad
The Books app helps you keep track of how many minutes you read every day, and how many books and audiobooks you finish each year. You can customize your goals to spend more time reading, set new reading streaks, and share your achievements with friends.
![The Reading Goals section in Reading Now. The reading counter shows that 10 minutes of a 20-minute goal have been completed. Below the counter is a Keep Reading button, and circles that show the days of the week, Sunday through Saturday. The circles for Sunday and Monday are blue, indicating the reading goal was achieved. The circle for Tuesday is outlined half way around the circle, indicating the progress for that day. The circles for Wednesday through Saturday are gray. The middle of the screen shows Books Read This Year. Three squares, indicate a reading goal of three books. A book cover fills one square, indicating one read book for the year.](https://help.apple.com/assets/60DCD4B22EC2D23EF7482272/60DCD4B22EC2D23EF7482279/en_US/12c4bb9eb1c9a72b49d4b30309ec4f6b.png)
Change your daily reading goal
You can adjust your daily reading goal depending on how many minutes you want to read per day. If you don’t customize your daily reading goal, it’s set to five minutes per day.
Tap the Reading Now tab, then swipe down to Reading Goals.
Tap Today’s Reading, then tap Adjust Goal.
Slide the counter up or down to set the minutes per day that you want to read.
When you reach your daily reading goal, you receive a notification from Books; tap it to get more details about your achievement, or send your achievement to friends.
Note: To count PDFs toward your reading goal, go to Settings > Books, then turn on Include PDFs.

After you finish reading a book or audiobook in Books, the Books Read This Year collection appears below Reading Goals. The default yearly reading goal is three books per year, but you can increase or decrease your goal depending on how many books you want to finish.
Tap the Reading Now tab, then swipe down to Books Read This Year.
Tap a gray placeholder square, or a book cover, then tap Adjust Goal.
Slide the counter up or down to set the books per year that you want to read.
When you reach your yearly reading goal, you receive a notification from Books; tap it to get more details about your achievement, or send your achievement to friends.
See your reading streaks and records
Books lets you know how many days in a row you reach your daily reading goal and notifies you when you set a record.
To view your current reading streak and record, tap the Reading Now tab, then swipe down to Reading Goals.
Turn off notifications and Reading Goals
Turn off notifications: To stop receiving notifications when you achieve a reading goal or set a reading streak, tap your account in the top-right corner of the Reading Now tab, tap Notifications, then turn off Reading Goals.
