In 2024:


I Read: how many books in 2024? 40
My Reading Goal: My goal was to take a large bite out of my TBR list, all those books I'd picked up here and there that were languishing on my Kindle. I did pretty good. I had a big problem in previous years when I kept hitting hard DNFs and that was making be really, really not want to try more new books
I Challenged Myself: I didn't do any reading challenges
A New Genre I Attempted: Nope, I think I'd read at least some of every genre before 2024
An Author New-to-me in 2024 I Really Enjoyed: TJ Klune
My Favorite Book of the Year: The Bell in the Fog by Lev AC Rosen
Books I Read in 2024 That I Recommend: The Bell in the Fog, Wolfsong by TJ Klune, Turtles All The Way Down by John Green, Murderbot Diaries

In 2025:


My Reading Goal: To take a bigger bite out of the unread books I own. This will be a bit harder because I'll be dipping into books I've put of for a while. Also, I set up a book bingo in my reading journal. I like the idea of setting a bunch of mini-challenges rather than hitting a numerical goal a lot.


Picture of my board


I'm Going to Challenge Myself: do you plan on doing any reading challenges? So far, just the bingo above, though my first read of the year is checking off 3 boxes by itself. I do also want to try joining a local book club because there are a lot here, but it's hard to find one I vibe with. The one I was going to join, it's January book is one I've read before and yeah, no
My TBR List: I will make one but not yet. There are a few books that have been on my TBR so long that I am actually just going to knock them out before I make a new list. I just feel bleh about putting them on yet again
Books I'm Especially Interested in Reading in 2025: Eh, nothing I am too excited about, but I plan to finish the Green Creek series by TJ Klune
A Book Coming Out in 2025 That I'm Excited About: Nothing I can think of
Other Book-Related News for 2025 I'm Interested In: I am looking forward to the Murderbot tv series

I loved the Murderbot books too. I've not read Wolfsong by TJ Klune but have read some others so will look out for that one to add to the pile.

Hoping you have a good year with lots of exciting reads.

Go for it! I was inspired by lots of other people who also do bingos in their reading journals. Feel free to use my ideas for it or any
