Top Ten Resolutions for 2021


I have actually written a post last year about Reading Goals, but the following is probably some top Ten specific goals for 2021:


1.  Finish 10 series I have started - I love series and always get distracted with new ones, so, except for review books, I really want to focus on series I have already started before 2021 and read those first before I start new series in my TBR.

2.  Read one paperback a month - I rarely get time to read paperbacks anymore - 2 boys running around limit my reading time at night before bed in the dark.

3.  Read 2 Kindle books a month I bought - I have quite a few kindle books to read, so I really want to try and read 2 kindle books a month I actually bought vs received for review or was a kindle freebie.

4.  Read 6 non-fiction books this year - hopefully this should be manageble with 1 book over two months.

5.  Listen to two audiobooks a month - Audiobooks is a great way of catching up on all those books I want to read but not have time of actually reading.  

6.  Read 1 to 2 Netgalley/Review books a month - There is a few 2020 books I need to catch up on.  December 31st came too quickly! 

7.  Try and not buy new books before reading a chunk of what I already own - Ja, we will see how long that lasts!  I try to at least limit books I buy to favourite authors.

8.  Keep Reading - No matter how busy life gets, try to at least read 10 minutes a day.

9.  Focus on catching up on favourite authors' books - We are so spoiled with a lot of great books and each year I find new authors I like and sort of got behind on some of my all time favourite authors.  So this year I want to at least monthly, read a book from an all time favourite author.

10.  Have fun! - Even though I have goals and participate in loads of challenges, reading should be fun.  So if I don't meet all my goals...hey, as long as I keep reading...that  is the ultimate goal!
