This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is your bookish goals for this year.. I’m keeping things quite simple over here with my main priority being my happiness and health but here are a few reading/blogging specific goals I have in mind:
I want to get back to blogging every weekday! I have loved my blogging journey yet last year didn’t go as planned and reading really took a back seat for me hence I didn’t have anything to post. So I would love to get back into reading, writing and posting to the point where it becomes the norm for me once again. It has really helped me put a lot more structure into my time and sort of forced me to be more productive in the past and I need that in my life again. I would like to grow my blog a bit more and produce even more fun, detailed, bookish content that you all will enjoy!
I would like to read more books that I actually interest me. I’ve made a bit of a habit of just buying and reading books because they are super hyped and popular even though the actual book doesn’t interest me. I could be a genre that I don’t usually read from or the premise doesn’t intrigue me but because everyone is talking/raving about it I still pick it up and read it anyway and I usually don’t enjoy it. I just think it’s a waste of time and I could be reading a book that I actually want to read.
I’ve set my Goodreads goal for 2025 at 50 books. In 2023 I read 127 books and last year I only managed to get to 17.. so I don’t want to go crazy and aim for 100 this year so I figure 50 is a nice middle ground that seems achievable.
Find a balance between reading/blogging and life. I find that currently my life isn’t as balanced as what it should be. My relationship and social media/doomscrolling has kind of taken over all my time that I used to commit to reading. So for 2025 I would really like to find a way to balance out my life in a way that ensures I am healthy and happy.
The last goal I wish to set for myself this year is to just be happy. I think if I accomplish the rest of my goals it will make for a great year and that will definitely make me happy!
