This week’s topic is:

Bookish Goals for 2024

Honestly, I don’t have any goals for 2024 but just to get through this year. 2023 was filled with so many issues for myself, friends and family and it was stressful! This year will be a little more of the same with me worrying about the health of those I love. I feel like the stress of 2023 really hindered my enjoyment of reading in the second half of 2023 so I want to go into 2024 without too many goals:

#1 – read books I actually want to read, and try not to force it if I’m not feeling a book

#2 – take breaks from blogging when needed

#3 -request less arcs 🙃 (actually did request less in 2023 so I know I can do this)

And that’s all I got really! I want to enjoy reading again and sometimes I think because of all the arcs I sign up for – I find myself not enjoying reading as much. 

What are your goals?
