A new year means setting new goals for myself. My goals will include things for reading, my bookish socials, and this blog. Lets get into it!
Reading:
Goodreads Goal
My reading goal on goodreads this year is 30. Last year it was 40 and i ended up cutting it in half and read 23. While I would love to read more than 30 I have decided to be gentle with myself and give myself some grace in 2025.
Library Books
I LOVE the library and though i go there frequently I would like to make sure I continue to check out books and support the library more than buying in 2025. My goal is to check out and read at least 10 books from the library. This seems realistic for me but we shall see how it goes
Physical TBR
I am starting this year with 80 books on my TBR which is crazy to me because it doesn’t feel like i’m buying books all that often but then I remember I get them for holidays, my fiance will take any chance to spoil me, and when I find a good book for a good price I cant resist. In 2025 I hope to read more from the books that have been sitting on my shelves. I have a TBR jar I would like to use more and I would also like to start keeping better track of what books I have.
Read classics
I want to read at least 2 classics in 2025. Ideally from my shelves or the library.
Be okay with DNF and pausing
Life is too short and there’s too many great books out there to be trying to push through ones i’m really not enjoying. I have a problem with not wanting to DNF a book so I get stuck on a book I really don’t want to be reading for months and it stops me from reading things that will bring me joy. I also want to be more okay with setting down a book to come back to it later if i’m really not in the mood for the particular genre. I have set down a couple books I wasn’t really vibing with and picked them back up months later and ended up loving them so I don’t know why it makes me feel gross to pause and read something else. No more of that in 2025
Socials:
I have had an bookstagram for a little while now but I haven’t been very active. In 2025 I would like to try and find my voice on Instagram and be more active. I also need to figure out how it even works because i’ve never really understood it…..
I have always been a pinterest girlie but I just recently found out you can have a professional account and lots of people use it to promote their blogs. In 2025 I have to figure out how to do that too lol
Bluesky
Another social media I have to figure out how to use. I never even really used Twitter very much so bluesky is still a new concept to me. I’ve been having fun there while also having no idea what’s going on. My goal in 2025 is to just figure out what’s going on.
Lemon8
Lemon8 is by far my favorite platform so if its still around in 2025 (I really hope so) I would like to be more consistent. Its where I am by far the most active but sometimes I miss a week of posting.
Blog:
Have fun
This blog is a hobby and a way to express my creativity. While I would like to promote it and stay consistent it’s more so I have a fun community that shares my interests then it is about numbers. In 2025 my only goals for this blog are to try and post something once a week and keep putting myself out there.
