This year because I know that I will have an awful lot going on, I am going to aim to read 50 books! I don't want to just wander aimlessly from one book to another, but I also don't want a rigid structure determining what I should be reading. There is nothing worse than ploughing through a book that just hasn't captured your imagination whilst staring forlornly at another. So I have devised a few guidelines to follow so that I can have a varied reading life for this coming year.
My 50 books will include:
4 books from the uni TBR pile
5 classics
3 auto/biographies
2 graphic novels
3 plays
2 books of poetry
I kept the numbers small because I don't want to commit myself to too many of certain kinds of books because I still want reading to be fun. The problem with my reading life at university was that it was too regimented. I lost one of the ways in which I used to de-stress because it became the cause of my stress and I don't want to repeat that. These few simple rules feel like they are a good balance.
I'll be keeping a list throughout the year, which I'll be posting at the beginning of next year to see how I got on.You can also keep up with my progress on my goodreads page here.
What are your book goals for 2104?
