Welcome back to another Top Ten Tuesday post! We’re well two weeks into the year and I had enough time to think about my Bookish Goals for 2025. In fact, I already new of some, but I waited with posting them until now. What do I hope to achieve this year? Let’s take a look!
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
- Read 50 books – This is the same as in 2024 and I’m certain I will meet this goal again. I’d like to set the bar low for myself in terms of the number of books, I don’t want to be pressured too much. I just set a goal for the end of year stats anyway.
- Finish my “Throne of Glass” reread – I started this in 2024 but abandoned it after the 5th book in the series. I hope to meet this goal in the first half of the year.
- Focus more on my backlog – I think this is very relatable to most of us, but the shiny new releases are staring at us, as well as the backlog. So, before we all know it, several books are left on the shelf unread for years. This is an ongoing goal.
- Cleaning out the TBR – Following the previous goal, focussing on my backlog means cleaning out the TBR as well. What books do I want to give a try, and which ones aren’t I interested in anymore? I definitely should sort this mess out.
- DNF more – Another ongoing goal which speaks volumes.
- Choosing quality over quantity – Another ongoing goal.
- Diversify my reading – I thought I was doing well in reading more diverse, but it eventually turns out I’m not. So, I have to do better in 2025.
- Cross posting my reviews – I still keep forgetting to do so.
- Trying to write my reviews as soon as I can – I think I did well already in 2024, but I have to keep this one going.
- Make up my mind about my Dutch blog for once and for all – In line of the previous goal, I really should make up my mind about my Dutch blog. I’ve been struggling with it for a while now and I thought an upgrade would help. Well, it’s actually close to dead as social media is more popular with the Dutch speaking crowd it seems. Why haven’t I given up on it yet? Because I’m afraid I will regret it. But maintaining two blogs is a lot of work and I’m falling behind on that one. Motivation is lacking more and more, so it’s time to make a decision.
What are your bookish goals for 2025?
