2025 Reading Goals: Along with an online challenge...or two...I hope to achieve the following:
- to read everyday (social media does not count!)
- to read an average of one book per week = minimum of 52 books
- to read 1/3 of my goal from my own TBR pile = 18 books (these will be bolded).
- to complete books for book clubs before the meeting time (love book clubs!)
- to finish books from 2023-24 Book Club lists...I am always behind!
- to read more series (love series!)
- to completely read more professional books
- to read more young adult books
- to read a classic...or four!
- ✔ = book read (Begins with Book Clubs)
