2020 reading goals

I’m sure some people read just to read, but I like to really challenge myself in new ways every year. This year I plan to be more diligent with my choices.

Reading Goals:

Let’s start with the main one: Reading 80 books in 2020. Last year my goal was 65, and I managed—somehow—to read 90.
Complete the POPSUGAR Reading Challenge. I participate every year, but I don’t think I try hard enough.
I want to be picky with the books I pick up. I had a very mediocre reading year last year. I found a few new all-time favorite books, which I’m happy about, but I really want to read non-spoiler reviews, and read the synopsis carefully. I know that doesn’t mean I’ll even enjoy the book, but I’ll be happier knowing I took the time to think it through.
NetGalley, NetGalley, NetGalley. Discipline, discipline, discipline. I need to focus on reading books from NetGalley before they come out. I’m at 39% right now, which is very sad, so this is one of my BIGGER goals this year. This will also play along with being more diligent with what I pick up / request.
Write down more quotes. I decided to create a Google Doc and label it 2020 quote master list. I read so many library books that I never think about writing down quotes. This year I will make it a requirement for myself.

Blogging Goals:

Be consistent! I’m truly terrible at this. 2019 was a weird internet year for me. We cancelled our internet and got a hotspot. Well, we plan on going back to our regular internet. I hope that will motivate me to be more consistent.
Upgrade. I say this every year. I don’t think I need to discuss it. I just want to have more freedom with my blog. I know it’s not really all that important.
Be creative. I want to think of more interesting content to post about. I’m sure y’all are sick of book reviews, tags, and wrap ups. I don’t have a super creative mind, so please bear with me.
Reach 500 followers. This one is more of a “when it happens, it happens” type of situation. Just a little milestone I want to keep in mind.

That’s it! I know they’re not extensive goals, but I think they’re realistic. 500 followers might be asking too much, but like I said, it’ll happen when it happens! These are some of my favorite posts to read, so I figured I would post one as well—hold myself accountable.

One more thing—If you have any type of content suggestions, please leave them down in the comments. I’m definitely open to new ideas!
