my goals this year are as follows:
~ to read 75+ books
~ explore the world of classical novels
~ try to finish my reading list
i wish you all luck on your goals, and as always, may the odds be ever in your favor


Many common sentiments are that 2023 was less of a reading year for most and that we all have so many books on our TBR!
I actually calculated my TBR a few years ago, including books I own that were gifted to me for my digital reader that I have yet to read and it came out to needing to read over 110 books per year for the next 10 years.
Just to catch up!
Not counting any new releases I may want to get or any gifted ARCs that may come about.
But we can do this! LOL

My main hope is to read through all the ARC's that I've been neglecting, and catching up on reviews for books that I've read but never reviewed.



-Listen to at least two audiobooks
-Read at least four iBooks
-Reread the Harry Potter series
-Finish (or DNF) Scythe series
-Read at least two Ben Alderson books





1. Read more cozy books (feel good)
2. Reread the books that make me laugh
3. Be faster with placing book in dnf if it isn't for me



Last year I read 150 but the year before it was over 200 I believe.
I also want to read at least one 500+ page book a month. I am off to a great start on that as I already finished Fourth Wing (663 pages) and I am partway through Iron Flame ( 884 pages)... So January is off to a great start!
I would like to read more classics, more nonfiction and read more of the books I have here...
I do find it great fun searching for books on the kindle.
I mostly read during the evenings. You can get a lot read in that time.


not forcing myself to finish books which I don't really enjoy or like
reading more self help and psychology books



This year:
- I want to finish the advanced copies I receive and post reviews for all before the publication date - I tried last year but stuff happened and I wasn't always on time with those. I always feel bad, it is a dream come true to get the books before they are published
- I want to join a book club again - I tried running one with friends and joining a local library one in the past. I think I need to try again and generally spend more time in my local public library.
- I hope to read all the books on my "want" list
- I plan to write a review for every book I read this year
Happy New Year and happy reading!
