Happy 2025! It would be an understatement to say that I'm feeling excited about reading this year. With my degree finally finished I can get back to being my bookish self from now on. I'm hoping to get back to reading and blogging like I used to, so I'm setting my goals a little bit higher than I have in the past few years. That being said, I know I have to take my time easing back into the swing of things. I'm still mainly going to focus on reading books from my shelves. I'm really hoping to clear off some shelf space this year because I have a whole lot of hobbies and I need the room!
My Goodreads goal for this year will be 40 books. This is more than my goal of 30 from last year, but not outrageously higher. I'm interested to see how quickly (or not) I can reach this.
My other reading goal will be to read books from my own shelves. I still have an absolutely insane number of unread books in my TBR pile and I want to continue chipping away at the stack. Last year I did manage to read 24 of them, so this year my goal will be to beat that. I will keep track of my progress here.
So those are my modest goals for 2025 as I attempt to rediscover my reading self. I'm looking forward to getting back to some familiar territory. I feel like a stranger to myself these days. It's time to come back home.
