Another year, another set of reading goals!
For 2023, I did complete my Goodreads goal of finishing 150 books, with a total of 152. I have to admit, though, for about ninety percent of the year I was lagging behind by a few books at any given time (thank goodness for novellas and books of poetry to help me reach my final number!). This year, I reduced it to 125 books, still pretty high, but one that I know I can attain without too much stress.
I also went through my never-ending TBR mountain to pick out twenty books that will be on my must-read list for 2024. Here are the fourteen physical books I selected…
To round out the twenty, I went through my kindle and selected the following:
Backwater by Allen Kent
Breaking Ava Lake by K. P. Ambroziak
Extreme Medical Services by Jamie Davis
Gods and Angels by Ophelia Wolf
The Ragged Edge of Night by Olivia Hawke
The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells
I tried to pick out a wide variety of genres and themes, in both the fiction and nonfiction. And hopefully I learned my lesson from the past two years: don’t save the longest, most involved books for the end of the year!
I want to continue my monthly reading themes as well, so for January, I’m going with New Year, New Series. Since I have several “heavy” reads going right now, I decided to try out a new-to-me cozy series by C. A. Phipps. Apple Pie and Arsenic has already hooked me at only the twenty percent mark, so I’m hoping this momentum continues!
What are your reading goals for 2024? Drop me a line and let’s talk books!
Stay safe, and Happy Reading!
