HAPPY NEW YEAR! Plus, 2025 Book Goals

 HAPPY NEW YEAR MY LOVELY READERS!


We have finally made it to 2025


The last two months have been super hectic with closing on our house, catching COVID for Thanksgiving, moving in, then moving out due to a supply line break, traveling to Boston for Christmas, getting sick AGAIN and then moving into our rental house.

Needless to say, I'm behind on my reviews but it's OK! 

I've still been able to get some reading done which is the most important thing. Anyway, here are my book goals for 2025.

  1. Read more
    Last year, my goal was to read 15 books and I did! However...it was a huge drop compared to years before. Plus, since becoming a mom, my reading intake has also plummeted. I'm not giving myself a numerical goal this year as it will just add more pressure and leave me disappointed if I don't make it. 

    What I DO want to ensure is that I read MORE. When my daughter is napping on me, in the waiting room, stuck in traffic, I want to ensure that I'm always reading.

  2. Consume books in any form
    I'll admit, I was a physical book snob. I believed that physical books were superior to audio books and e-books, but you know what...the words are still the same no matter how you consume them. Audiobooks have helped me when I'm doing dishes, driving or walking. I just got a Kindle and now I can use that to read e-books and put down the phone. 

    I obviously still love my physical books and they still reign supreme! But if I can finish a 1,000 page book using all three forms of books....it's a win for me!

  3. Visit the library more
    Since having my daughter, we've visited the library a lot more and I can't believe I ever stopped going! I've always had a library card, but I never made it a priority to visit. That all changes this year. I'm making it a point to stop buying so many books and check out what's in the library.

Those are my goals for the year. Simple and to the point. I can't wait to update this blog more with my reviews. :-)
