Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is My Bookish Reading Goals for 2025.
1. Read 200 Books - I've done this the last two years and I'm starting this year off strong. I have a long list of books to tackle and hopefully I can make some real progress this year!
2. Complete the Read Christie Challenge - I did this in 2024 for the first time and it was so fun! The theme this year is professions and the books chosen are a good mix of Christie books - some I've read a number of times and others I've kind of forgotten about.
3. Complete my 2025 Priority List - I picked 5 books from my shelves and 5 books from the library that I really want to read. I've done this the last two years and have really enjoyed it. I'm super excited about my book picks this year.
4. Complete my Authors I Plan to Read in 2025 list - Last year I picked 10 authors I kept meaning to read but never did. It was so fun I picked 10 more and am so looking forward to reading this new list.
5. Read my Classics List - I love Agatha Christie but there are a lot of classic mystery authors out there that I have yet to read and this is a good way to do it.
6. Make progress on 10 series - I read a lot of cozy mysteries and where there are cozies there are series and it is so easy to neglect them!
7. Read 5 Overdue Review Books - I have so many overdue reviews on NetGalley and I'm trying to slowly chip away at it.
8. Read 5 Nonfiction Books - I read a lot of mysteries and cozy books so I like to throw in some nonfiction here are there.
9. Finish All of My 2025 ARCs - In the past I've gotten way more ARCs then I can realistically read in a year and I'm trying to make sure I don't add to that list of overdue reviews this year.
10. Get My TBR Jar Updated (and use it at least twice) - I got a TBR jar setup last year but since then I've gotten rid of some books, the library has gotten rid of some books and I've added a ton of books to my TBR. I need to update it and then pick at least two books to read using the TBR jar.
What are your reading goals for 2025?
200 books! WOW! How do you even do that?!
ReplyDeleteYou have some amazing goals, Katherine! And good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteGreat goals. I have some for nonficiton and finishing series as well.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all of these! One of my goals is to read more nonfiction this year, too. :D
ReplyDeleteA lot of these could be on my list as well. 😅 I hope you're able to meet all of your goals this year!
ReplyDeleteWonderful goals and I see with the reading of Kristin Hannah you have started on one goal. I'd like to read 200 books as well but I put 140 on my GR goal as I hate being told I am behind! 10 series - wow. I want to pick out one good cozy mystery series to do with books in some form and read that. Don't have one yet.
ReplyDeleteThese are excellent goals. I hope you succeed with them.
