Now that we’re one month into 2023, it’s had me thinking about the reading goals I made for this year, and my progress so far.

Here are my goals:

• Read the books I already own instead of buying more.
• Read at least 12 nonfiction and 12 classics.
• Focus on pages read vs. books read.
• Find time to read every day.
• Post on bookstagram/booktok/blog more.
• Utilize the library more.

One goal that I’ve been doing very well is finding time to read everyday. While some days it is only a few pages, I have managed, so far, to read everyday in 2023. I’m so happy about that! Reading is more than just reading to me. It’s also good for my mental health, so the fact that I’ve been taking time to read daily has helped all aspects of my life.

One goal I have not done well so far is reading the books I already own instead of buying more. I bought quite a few books in January. 😂 But to be fair, most of them were on sale so that made it too hard to resist, hahaha! Moving forward I want to actually read all those new books I recently bought, at least, before buying anymore – and if there’s a book I really can’t wait to read, I should probably just borrow it from the library. That’s accomplishing two goals in one!

For the rest of my goals, so far, I feel like I’m on the right path. I’ve got some really intriguing nonfiction and classic books lined up and I’m looking forward to writing and sharing all my bookish thoughts on here and social media.

What are some goals you have set for 2023? I’d love to know!
