Happy New Year!
Let's kick off the new year (and decade) with some new reading goals!
I'm going to continue my 'easy' goal of 52 books, at least one per week, since I don't know how busy I will be this year and anything and everything could change.
I would like to continue my goal of reading more nonfiction, reading out of my comfort zone/usual genres, and reading more of my own books from my shelves. This year I'd like to read at least 25-30 chapter books to my daughter. I'd also like to continue reading and reviewing as consistently as possible!
My TBR List!
My 2020 TBR List on ListChallenges
I make one of these 100-book lists every year just to give myself a good variety of books on my shelves to read and so I can mark them off later. If you're not familiar with listchallenges, it's a site with visual lists that you can 'check off' what you've read or done or seen, (etc) on lists you've made or others have made and shared. I like using it to keep track of the books I've read or bought (and especially their covers) in one place. I also keep this list on my Goodreads.
Reading Challenges!
I plan on joining in on a few challenges this year so I will list them here but haven't shared my sign up posts for all of them yet.
ABC CHALLENGE
I do this one every year on my own but would like to join in on a group challenge this year to help motivate me and find recs to fill those gaps!
See my 2020 ABC Challenge list!
Around the World Challenge
PopSugar Reading Challenge
BookRiot's Read Harder Challenge

I may participate in a KidLit / picture book challenge as well if I can find one but for now, this will do!
Are you participating in any of these?
Feel free to link to your goals/challenges posts! I'd love to see what you all have planned for 2020!
Happy New Year & Happy Reading!
Nice goals! No, I'm not participating in any of the same reading challenges you are this year.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to read 52 books in 2020. All 52 books to be read will come from my current 'to be read' pile. No specific titles at this time have been decided upon. However, I do plan to read 13 books that I've acquired through Goodreads Giveaways, 13 books that I've had acquired prior to May 2014, and the 26 remaining books will be chosen at random.
I've read a lot of nonfiction over the years... Let me know if you would like some suggestions!!
I'm going to stick to the 52 books goal as well this year!
