I made al my goals this year but it was definitely just barely for a few of them. I definitely didn't enjoy my reading as much as I would like and had a few slumps or major slow downs during the year.
1. Read 200 books - I read 201!
2. Complete the Read Christie Challenge for 2025 - Finished! I read the November and December books in December but got all 12 books read. The theme for 2025 was occupations and it was a fun mix of books.
3. Read all the books on my 2025 Priority List - I picked 5 books from my shelves and 5 books from the library that I really wanted to read and I got all of these read.
4. Read all the Authors on my Authors I Plan to Read list - Finished! I read the last one (The Crow Trap by Ann Cleeves) this month and I have a bunch of new authors to read more from.
5. Read all the books on my Classics List - Finished! I read the last three books on the list in December.
6. Make progress on 10 series - Finished! This year I focused on reading one book from each of the series I'm reading and while I enjoyed that it was a bit frustrating to not make more progress.
7. Read 5 Overdue Review Books - I accomplished this one earlier in the year.
8. Read 5 Nonfiction Books - Another one I accomplished earlier in the year.
9. Finish 2025 ARCs - Done! I got the last couple of stragglers done this month.
10. Create a TBR jar and read 2 books from it - Done! I created 2 TBR jars - one for audio books and one for print books - and have had a lot of fun with it. I did just redo the audio one as Audible Plus cleared out pretty much all the books I want to read from the Plus category. The good thing is now I can cancel it!
How did you do on your reading goals for 2025?
Wow! I'm impressed you made ALL of your reading goals. Congrats. That's awesome. :D
ReplyDeleteYou did fantastic on your goals! I have determined I will do the nonfiction challenge and maybe the historical fiction for 2026.
ReplyDeleteWell really great completion of goals and making it to 201. They were great goals too and so easy to say yes or no to completing them. No 10. is good to have fun. So you are going to cancel Audible?
ReplyDeleteGreat job! You were really meeting your goals.
