Happy New Year! Wishing you all a lovely 2025 filled with great new reads!!
As for bookish resolutions, here are mine:
1. Read. Plain and simple, just read. 2024 was not a great reading year for me and I hated it. I have always been an avid reader and last year I just could not seem to pick up a book. So, this year I am going to aim to fall back in love with reading.
2. Blog. I started this blog to share about my reading and maybe because I wasn't reading I couldn't blog. I don't know, but I am planning to blog it up this year.
3. No New Books. I mean it. I already have way too many books and I need to start reading them, like now.
4. A few new books. LOL! I am planning on purchasing new books for my birthday and Christmas, but those will be the only times I will be buying new books in 2025. And it's only because certain authors release books every year and I will be wanting those books, so I figure I will just have to wait for them until my birthday or Christmas.
5. Declutter. I have way too many books and not enough room for them all, so I need to go through my bookshelves and figure out which books I really want to keep. And the rest will be donated.
6. Reading challenges. I don't plan on joining any this year, except for the JLC18 - Japanese Literature Challenge 18 hosted by my friend Meredith of Dolce Bellezza. I'm just not that into reading challenges and I need to accept that. I don't mind read-alongs sometimes, but since I'm a mood reader it's kind of hard to stick to a reading plan. So, yeah, no reading challenges.
7. ARCs. Not sure if I'll be reviewing as many books this year. I want to be a more choosy about what I agree to review in 2025.
That's pretty much it. I mean, I really just want to read a lot this year and that's about it. What about you? Do you have any bookish resolutions? If so, what are they?
And now, I'm off to pick a few books for JLC18. Happy reading!
