Ten Bookish Goals? Hmm, that’s a lot. I cannot think of a list of 10 bookish goals for Year ’25, for this week’s Top 10 Tuesday prompt. At most, here are 6 goals and I’d be very surprised if I can manage 2 or more of these:
1) Read at least 12 books, one for each month.
The challenge, of course, remains in shortlisting 12 out of the TBR Pile…
2) Read more diversely across genres.
That means, not just sticking to SFF or historicals – but to also try out more horror (incl. the new “cozy horror” niche), more philosophy, more humor, perhaps a thriller here and there.
3) Complete the backlist books from at least 1 favorite author.
The aim is to see how the author has grown over the years, and of course, enjoy the books and the process along the way. Perhaps: Lois McMaster Bujold or Patricia A. McKillip. Any other suggestions (in any genre) are welcome 🙂
4) Continue to read the classics, slow though it may be.
I signed up for the Classics Club challenge last year and sometimes, when you are overwhelmed by the busy pace of things, an old classic seems the right solution.
5) Be more active on the blog.
There was a reason I set it up in 2020 (to create! to stay connected!), and I do need to water the bookish garden now and then.
6) … Speaking of which, perhaps just move to a free plan of WordPress for the blog?
In which case, I need to figure out how to move content from Bluehost to the new unpaid version. If anyone has solutions for this, please share!
How about you? Did you manage to work up a plan for reading and blogging this year? What are your top bookish goals for Year ‘25? Do any of our goals align?
