I didn’t have big goals for 2022 but let’s take a look and see if I actually met them:
Read LESS. Read what I want to read and make sure I have enough time to finish it especially if they are arcs. I read about 13-15 books a month and it would be nice to get it down to 8-10 at least.
NO – I did not consistently meet this goal because I ended up reading 170+ this year. My goal was 52 but more like 100 max. 😆 The only months I met this goal was the last 2 months of 2022.
Keep my book buying ban still because I save money when I borrow it from the library and 2022 is about controlling my finances.
YES/NO – I was so good this year. I did buy books but they were severely discounted. So I did save money, but I still bought books. This goal is continuing on in 2023 because I have trips to plan!
Cut down on NetGalley requests.
YES – I stuck to this one I think because there was less catching up for me to do.
Have the guts to DNF more books that I’m struggling through.
YES – I did DNF more but not as much as I was thinking I would.
I think I did pretty good on my goals! I still want to cut down on the amount of books I read. Just so I can find that enjoyment of reading I used to have when I wasn’t a book blogger. I still love it but it does feel like work sometimes to finish arcs. Anyway, I’ll figure out a good balance someday – maybe 2023 will be that year!
Did you meet your reading goals?
