Bookish Goals for 2023
Jan. 17th, 2023 10:42 pmRead 50 books this year
It's basically a book a week, and I usually read two books at a time - one fiction and one non-fiction. I haven't tracked my reading before but this doesn't seem too excessive. I'm also looking forward to the stats on sites like thestorygraph
Look into reading challenges
So many different book bloggers post about different reading challenges, and storygraph has this whole challenges section. But I don't know if I read a wide enough selection of books to make it worth while
Post book reviews
I haven't written book reviews but I do enjoy talking about the books I read - not that anyone enjoys listening so why not post them here?
Use my library more
It's literally on my walk home from work, it's open when I walk past. I have now joined and I've checked out an art history book called Landscape and Western Art by Malcolm Andrews which is so far really interesting
DNF books if I'm not enjoying them
I don't tend to read things that are new to me but I'm wanting to try and branch out - see joining the library. But I'm always scared of not liking a new thing. Eloise has reminded me I don't have to keep reading something if I'm not enjoying it. Life is too short to read something I don't like!
Find some bookish podcasts to listen to
I enjoy Let's Talk About Myths and Natalie Haynes stands up for the Classics but I'd love to find more bookish or history or geography or pagan podcasts to listen to
Include books in my journalling
I really enjoy journalling and write about everything... but not my books. I could include quotes, lists, thoughts, that kind of thing
Interact with other bloggers
I've been reading blogs for a while, and here I am jumping in feet first and giving it a go. I've never done this kind of journalling before and I'm very excited to try - although a little nervous. I'm super late but going to try and take part in![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
snowflake_challenge because it looks really fun
Organise my books
We moved into this bigger house last year and we've been meaning to make the second bedroom into this cozy reading nook - all the bookshelves, a desk, comfy seating etc etc - but haven't done it. First step is we need to decorate it!
Look into social media
I know there's a book community on twitter, on instagram and on tiktok but I have no idea how these things work.
