HAPPY NEW YEAR! Book Goals for 2024

Hello my lovely readers!

Happy New Year!

It's no surprise that I haven't been as active on here due to my pregnancy and all the shenanigans that have been taking place with it. However, with us being in the year 2024, I do want to give ya'll my book goals for this year!

Last year, I was EXTREMELY ambitious in my reading goal of 100 books for the year and reviewing EVERY SINGLE BOOK. Not only did reading start to feel like a chore with that goal, but by the time I found out I was pregnant, I was completely burnt out. I don't think I'll ever commit to reading 100 books in a year EVER again.

So here are my reading goals for 2024!

  • Read 15 books. --Yes, this is a super low number, but I'm giving birth this year and I want to be realistic.
  • Read what I own--Last year, I tried (and failed) to put myself on a book buying ban. With saving our money to buy a house, having a baby and daycare costs, there's not going to be a lot of money leftover for book spending (which is a blessing and a curse.) Plus, I have SO many books on my shelves that I need to get to, so win win?
  • Re-read my favorites--Toward the end of 2023, I found myself re-reading a lot of books that I hadn't read in years and I want to keep that up this year. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the books I read in high school (I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, The Awakening and Their Eyes Were Watching God to name a few) and I want to continue that trend. There are so many books on my shelves that are say are my ALL TIME FAVORITE, but I haven't read in years. Let's change that in 2024!
Three goals. Pretty simple. No pressure. Happy New Year!
