Every year I have book goals in mind by I don't generally write them down. I think I shall do that this year.
1. I want to read 50 books again this year. I am a slow reader so this is a challenge but I did it in 2012 and it was fantastic.
2. I want to complete the book challenges that I join this year. I was on a roll last year and finished all three challenges. I would like to continue my winning streak!
3. Last year I brought about 100 books home from my 4 months in New York. It's time to start reading some of the book on my TBR pile. I want to make a nice dent in those books.
4. I would like to visit the library more, because books are expensive and I'm broke.
5. It's another year for reading more classics. I started that a little bit last year, but I want to read many more this year.
6. I'm going to read some of the children's stories that I feel like I should have read ages ago. (like Alice in Wonderland)
7. I need to work on my book habits, especially the ones that require me to finish a book no matter how terrible, and finishing a series once I've started, especially if it's from a book that I didn't enjoy.
Those sound like some good bookish goals. I definitely want to tackle the pile of books I've bought but not read!
ReplyDeleteGood luck :)

ReplyDeleteYep. :)
Great goals! It's funny that I have to opposite goal of your number 7. I need to stop forcing myself through books I dont like. I dont want to be afraid to put something down. I do agree with you about a series though. If I'm 2+ books into a series, and I stopped loving it, I would like to continue until I'm done with the series. Maybe I feel like I owe it to the characters I've come to know so well, haha!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all of your goals!
