The Bookish Mindset

I’d love to be able to tell you that I’ve hit all my reading goals but I really, really haven’t. I’m quite far off in some cases. But let me share why I’m not that bothered about it..

My goals were:

Buy less than 50 books – I didn’t hit it, I ended up buying 57 new books. But I did read 36 of them, so that’s something?

Read 75 books from my TBR – Not even close. I read 48 which I’m still really happy with.

24 books in 2024 challenge – Closer than I thought at 19/24.

10 books before the end of the year (that really was 20) – couldn’t be further – 6 read.

I also set my reading goal to be 75 books and while I beat that by some way, I’m not necessarily counting it because I purposely set it lower than I read last year so I didn’t stress.

While I haven’t hit most of those goals, what I have had is a brilliant year of reading. I counted 72 books that I’d recommend and while I won’t list them here, you can see them all on the 28th on Instagram here.

I don’t know what goals I’m setting for 2025 yet, but I know that whatever they end up being, the most important thing is that I enjoy what I’m reading. And that’s definitely something I’ve managed this year.
