2022 Reading Goals

So with the start of 2022 on us, I've decided to set myself a few reading goals. I'm not putting too much pressure on myself as that will just suck the fun right out of reading, so instead these are more like aims. So this year I'm aiming to...

  • Read 52 books - One a week so I think I should manage this just fine
  • Try to read at least one chapter a day - This is definitely more of an aim and I'm definitely not going to be too hard on myself if I don't manage it.
  • Focus on finishing (or catching up on) the following series/duologies, rather than start new ones:
    • Flawed, Cecelia Ahern (re-read the first and read the second)
    • Red Queen, Victoria Aveyard (re-read the first then read the rest)
    • PS I Love You, Cecelia Ahern (re-read the first and read the second)
    • ACOTAR, Sarah J Maas (re-read the first then read the rest)
    • The Bill Hodges Trilogy, Stephen King (read the 2nd and 3rd)
    • Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton (re-read the first and read the second)
    • To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee (re-read the first and read the second)
    • The Lorien Legacies, Pittacus Lore (I've read the first 2 recently)
    • Sookie Stackhouse, Charlaine Harris (re-read the first 10 then read the last few)
    • The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins (re-read the whole series)
    • Percy Jackson, Rick Riordan (I've read the first 3 recently)
    • His Dark Materials, Philip Pullman (re-read the whole series)
  • Don't buy more books than I read each month - I've set up a spread in my reading journal where I will (attempt) to only buy a book if I have read another book.
  • Read books in a timely manner after I haul them - I'm going to keep my most recent purchases on my TBR cart so that I can easily see the books I have recently bought and pick for my monthly TBR.

    What great reading goals. I like the don't buy a book until you've read a book. I need to do that also.

      So far it's not going great... I've already bought more than I've read, but I'm trying to rein it in a bit for the rest of the month to catch up with reading.

Discussion: The Problem With My Local Library

I used to use my local library all the time when I was in school.  Source I even spent every lunchtime in my school's library. My friends and I were pupil librarians and we practically had the run of the whole library. And then, when I started University, the only library I had time for was the University library. And that wasn't an enjoyable experience. However, last summer I started going to my local library again. (I then had to stop again when I got my job.) And unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed.  Source The availability sucks. I can deal with books I want that are already out on loan. It's the complete lack of decent books the library has on its system that gets to me. All those months I went to the library last year and I never left with a book that was already on my TBR. I walked around that place looking at my Goodreads trying to find any book on that list. And I couldn't find any at all (except for the Classics). To be honest, I ...
