Some years don't need goals! They seem reasonable, but I've never managed to read all the books I buy in a single year, so we'll see if this year it works :)
Will be interested to hear how buying books only in bookstores works for you and how reading everything you buy this year turns out. I feel like I half heartedly make that goal every year and never succeed. Haha.
Also is it weird I love when people have books I would never be interested in on their favorites list? I love that we can all love books and not the same ones!
We will see how both goals go! I think I have done the same thing - only sort of made reading what I buy a goal - but never made it the most important goal, so it's the easiest one to give up. I'm excited to see how things go!
I ended the year stronger than I started, I think? Our only overlaps that I see are God of the Woods, which I quite loved, and Ministry of Time, which is technically a 2025 book (finished it just the other day). I love a novel that sticks with me. Can't wait to trade recs next week! <3
I liked both of those a lot. Ministry of Time was such a good surprise of a novel. Honestly, I think any of the books in my "honorable mention" list could have gotten bumped into the favorites list, and I wouldn't feel bad about it. And yes, I am looking forward to chatting next week!
I like your goals! I didn’t set any specific ones this year - but yours seem quite reasonable. 🙂

Me either. And I'm a heavy, heavy library user, so I feel like I usually buy about 9? And I can't even read all of those haha
I don't know why it's so hard!

After reading this, I’ve decided to also try to read in the year I buy too! Thanks for the great idea.
