2023 Reading Goals

So it's that time of year when I start thinking about my goals and once again I don't want to put too much pressure on myself. Particularly as I spent a good portion of last year not being in the right headspace to read or blog. These are goals that I'm going to treat more as a nice to do rather than I must complete them... 

  • Read 52 books - One a week, I think I should manage this just fine as even with the set backs of last year I managed to smash this
  • Try to read at least one chapter a day - This is definitely more of an aim. I had some success with this last year, but I want to get back in the habit of reading on the bus to work and reading in bed before work on my WFH days.
  • Focus on finishing (or catching up on) the following series/duologies, rather than start new ones:
    • The Nevernight Trilogy, Jay Kristoff (Read the 1st)
    • Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Rick Riordan (Read the first 3)
    • Monsters of Verity, V E Schwab (Read the 1st)
    • ACOTAR, Sarah J Maas (re-read the first then read the rest)
    • The Lorien Legacies, Pittacus Lore (Read the first 2)
    • The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins (Re-read the first 2, last book to re-read and prequel to read)
    • His Dark Materials, Philip Pullman (re-read the first 2, last book still to re-read)
  • Don't buy more books than I read each month - This is the same as last year and using my reading journal I did have some success so I'm just going to carry on with it.
  • Try to read at least one book each month that I haul that month - This is more to make sure that I try and be a bit more selective of the books I buy and only buy if I want to start reading it straight away.

Feature and Follow (29 May)

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of  Parajunkee’s View  and Alison of  Alison Can Read . Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs! I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Along with Amanda of  The Darling Bookworm . This week’s Question: How many books have you got on your TBR list? I recently had a bit of a cull of my TBR list so now it is sitting at 269. I'm trying my hardest to get it below 200 by the end of the year but I really don't see it happening. I'd currently be happy if I managed to get it below 225. However, I did recently have a look through my TBR on Goodreads and deleted a few books that I don't think I will actually ever read - I'm not even to sure how they got there anyway. Follow me via  Goodreads ,  Facebook ,  Bloglovin  and  Pinterest  and also via email to myexpandingbookshelf@gmail.com.  Feel fre...
