It’s been a while since I posted a book haul!! Here is my chaotic pile of books I’ve accumulated over the last few months that I now need to find space for on my shelves ๐
๐ Book Haul ๐
Category: Updates
๐ Inheritance Cycle Reread Update ๐
*SEMI-SPOILERY THOUGHTS AHEAD*
I am about 50 pages into Brisingr and at this point and I am still highly enjoying my reread of this series. I have to say though it about this stage where I am loosing interest a little bit, simply because of the sheer size of the books moving forward. I find myself wanting to pick other books up over Brisingr simply because I know I can finish them faster. I will say I don’t really remember anything significant from this book to be transparent. I remember pretty much all of the major plot points from Inheritance but Brinsigr is coming up a little blank for me so I’m excited to dive back into the world of Alagaรซsia and see what Eragon gets up to next! I just hope he isn’t too cringey with his pining for Arya but we will see.
๐My Birthday๐
Today is my birthday! No bookish posts today as I am celebrating ๐
February TBR
This month I would like to focus on my physical TBR if I can. There are sooo many books I’ve picked up in the last 6 months that I want to read sooner rather than later!
2025 Bookish Goals
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. Iโve made a bit of a habit of just buying and reading books because they are super hyped and popular even though the actual book doesnโt interest me. I could be a genre that I donโt usually read from or the premise doesnโt intrigue me but because everyone is talking/raving about it I still pick it up and read it anyway and I usually donโt enjoy it. I just think itโs a waste of time and I could be reading a book that I actually want to read.
Iโve 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 isnโt 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 justย 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!
