Hey bookish Friends! I have changed up my reading goals and challenges for this year. I know I had a series challenge, a book to screen challenge and even a read everything by the author challenge, but I realized that not only is that just too much pressure, I also have a ton of books in my shelves at home that I need to get to! My goal for the year is a bit easier now because I want reading to be fun, not an assignment. My new reading goals are below:
I will prioritize my book club reads. My book club reads are below in the order that they will be read.
I will also start working on my PHYSICAL TBR SHELF. I realized that I have 150+ books in my house that I have not read. So I will be reading from those this year.
I told myself that I would not purchase anymore books this year but that is kind of a lie, there will be BOTM books coming in monthly. I refuse to cancel my subscription. Also, my best-friend is buying me books monthly via the The Book Drop, thank you best-friend. I am trying to purchase books from my TBR shelf for her so that we can do some more buddy-reads even though we are in a book club together and will be reading The Book Drop books together. I'm just addicted to buying books. I am also addicted to reading books. If anyone wants to fuel my addiction my amazon bookish wish-list is right here!
Last but not least, I will also join POPSUGAR Reading Challenge again. This year, my goal is 25 prompts.

What are your 2025 reading goals?
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI’m writing in the hope you’ll consider reviewing my latest novel, “Yuri & the Pig” (87,000 words published by Wild Wolf Publishing), a work of fiction based on the current war in Ukraine. However, the countries involved are fictitious, too.
Here is some more information:

The following is the blurb:
“From the best-selling author of the Charlie Smithers adventures.
A farmer and his pig set off on an extraordinary quest across war-torn Eastern Europe.
Entangled in a savage war, the country of Xoraina is fighting for its very existence; but to Yuri, a simple peasant from a remote mountain village, it seems all but certain that the invading Zlaimperians must ultimately prevail. Not that it is of any consequence to him, of course. In Yuri’s view, every form of government is equally bad, so it makes very little difference who holds the reins of power. Indeed, throughout time, the only things that have ever really mattered are that the soil be tilled, the cows milked, and the pigs shipped to market, all in a timely fashion.
But when an exorbitant new tax threatens that philosophy, he sets off with his pig across the war-ravaged land to the Capital in order to fight the injustice. In the process, their journey becomes a road to a terrible enlightenment, causing Yuri to question his deeply seated beliefs. But only when he and his pig find themselves placed squarely in destiny’s path is there any hope of those questions finding answers.”
If interested, please contact me at clovatt@xplornet.ca and I’ll arrange for you to receive an e-copy in the format you prefer.
Thank you for your time.
