It’s April, but I
haven’t done a reading goals post for the year. Now that I’m back into reading,
I have to remedy that.
I originally set
my Goodreads 2020 Reading Challenge at 10 books. Now, that might not seem like
a lot to some of you, but last year was a disaster for me reading-wise. I actually
only read 10 books for the entire year, and most of them were just “meh” books.
My reading slump was insane.
To be fair, I had
a lot of things going on. I moved back to Missouri from NYC. I quit my job and
was stressed out looking for a new one and feeling like a loser for doing so. And,
while I was living in NYC, I hated living there because of my loud neighbors who
wouldn’t give me the peace I needed to read and sleep during the weekends. I
was a mess. But I’ve finally hit a place in my life where I’m comfortable
reading again. Plus, I’m stuck inside a lot more than usual with everything
going on, so why not work my way through my TBR?
I set my 2020 Goodreads
Challenge to 10 books at the start of the year. I reached that goal earlier
this month, so I changed my goal to 30 books. I’m really hoping to reach 50,
but 30 puts less pressure on me.
Other than my
Goodreads Challenge, I have a few other personal reading goals that mostly
consist of finishing specific books and series.
#1. Read 15 books I
already owned physical copies of prior to 2020. So far, I’ve read three.
#2. Finish A
Game of Thrones. I’ve been reading this one for a while. I started after
the final season of GoT disappointed me for so many reasons, and I want to finish
it before the end of 2020. I’m 42% through. I also think it’d be cool to read
one A Song of Ice and Fire book per year until I catch up or the next book is
released. (Ha ha.)
#3. Finish the
Violet Eden series. I just finished Entice, and there are three more
books. I’m going to try to finish one every few months. These books have been
on my shelf for so very long, and they’re so beautiful. I’ll never get rid of
them, just because of their gorgeous covers. I don’t like unread books being on
my pretty shelves, though, so I HAVE to finish them.
#4. Finish last books.
I have a lot of last books in series that I just need to read. United and
Starfall by Melissa Landers, Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan, Allied
by Amy Tintera, and Let the Wind Rise by Shannon Messenger are the
primary culprits.
