Hello there, 2025.

Well, best laid plans and all that. I didn’t schedule my 2024 wrap-up posts ahead of time because I knew I’d be off and have plenty of time to write them…. and then I got sick. Like, stuck in bed, tissues everywhere, head feels like it might explode sick. So yeah, at least we got wrap-up post up! But here’s a quick summary of 2024:

• Read 63 books for the year, my goal was 52!
• Average rating was 3.5 stars, pretty good.
• 65% of my reads were at least partially done on audiobook (love you narrators).
• I only purchased a total of 10 books in the whole year, which was my goal.

Now did I actually read the books on my shelves? Well… not so much. So that’s going on my goals for this year. I want to:

• Read 60 books for the year.
• Make at least 50% of those reads books that I own.
• Stick to only purchasing 10 books per year (books I’ve already read and want a copy of don’t count).
• Create blog posts on Saturdays for the following week.
• Post at least 3 times a week.

I’ll be honest, I’m not great at sticking to a set schedule for posting because it depends on what I want to write about at any given time. But at least pre-drafting posts will give me a one up on consistency. And hopefully I can generate some back-up posts in case I get sick again. *sigh*

Anyway just checking in for the new year! Hope that 2025 has treated you well so far. Big bookish hugs!
