In 2021 I made reading a priority for myself. I downloaded GoodReads and then went through my old Kindle app to track books I had read in college and when traveling after college. I logged them in my account to find other books I might like, added a ton of books to my “Want Be Read”list and set a yearly reading goal for myself.
In 2021 my goal was 3 books / month or 36 books total. I ended the year at 61 books and was so proud of myself for succeeding in something that meant I spent time on myself. Every year since then, I’ve continued to make reading a priority for myself. If I’m doing housework or running errands, I’m probably listening to an audiobook. If I’m putting the kids to bed, I’m probably reading a book on my phone. Every year is different, in 2022 I read 106 books and my goal had been 100. Then in 2023 and 2024 I set my goal at 75 and only got to 69 and then 70. My 2025 goal is at 75 again and this year, I’m making it!
