Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly bookish meme originally created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits, where every Friday, bloggers write discussion posts based on a weekly prompt and Dini @ dinipandareads has cohosted since the beginning of 2025.
This week’s topic is:
December 26: How do you decide your yearly reading goals? (Jillian @ Jillian the Bookish Butterfly)
Prompts: Do you set annual reading and/or blogging goals? Have you decided on any bookish/blogging resolutions for 2026? How do you decide what goals you want to pursue for the year ahead?
**********
Do you set annual reading and/or blogging goals?
Sometimes? 😅. Depends on how I’m feeling, but I usually stick to the same number for reading.
Have you decided on any bookish/blogging resolutions for 2026?
- Request LESS books on NetGalley. I went overboard in 2025.
- Remind myself I don’t have to read every arc that is offered to me when the publisher emails me. I am SO grateful, but sometimes the books aren’t even genres I read and I’m getting more emails. I think I’ll do a highlight post of the book.
- And just keep on top of posting.
How do you decide what goals you want to pursue for the year ahead?
Doing the end of the year post helps me evaluate how my blogging and reading year was and it helps me to figure out what I want to change, what I want to cut or add, etc…also I’m not strict about changing things. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work – this is a hobby and I want to keep it fun.
December Topics:
December 5: Festive Reads
Prompts: Do you read holiday/winter-themed reads? Do you have any on your TBR this December? What have been favorites from past years? Are there any festive books you like to re-read during the holidays?
December 12: Goodreads Choice Awards
Prompts: The 2025 Goodreads Choice Award winners were announced on December 4th! Do you vote for or keep up with the awards? Have you read any of this year’s winners or nominees? The categories have also changed in recent years, creating some controversy: the Romantasy category was added in 2024, and the Children’s and Middle Grade category was removed. What do you think about these changes? What categories would you like to see go away or come back? Are there any other changes to the awards that you’d like to see?
December 19: 2026 Anticipated Releases (Leyre @ Read You Leyre)
Prompts: What 2026 releases are you most excited for? Are there any sequels you’re looking forward to reading? Are there any debut authors you’re excited to see release their first books? Any favorite authors coming out with something new?
