Here were are again. It’s that time to set some new goals for myself now that we’re beginning a new year. I know every year I say I’m going to read more books than I did last year. Sometimes I make it and sometimes I don’t….but I at least try to give it the ol’ college try. Hey……I think I deserve an “A” for effort for trying at least.
In recent years, I’ve tried to branch out and read something that is out of my normal comfort zone. Like, I started reading poetry the first year and so far I’ve enjoyed it (or I’ve enjoyed what I’ve read so far). The next year year I started reading historical fiction once in a while and so far I’ve enjoyed that too. I got some new books that I’ve recently purchased with a gift card that I got for Christmas from my hubby and they’re definitely different from the stuff I normally read (these books just showed up yesterday). Don’t worry, I’ll get to reading them soon enough so you’ll get to see what I got but I think I’m going to let these be a surprise. I think this may be a tradition I’ll continue……trying to read something outside of my comfort zone.
I’m going to try to read in a different format. I have plenty of books on my shelves…..but I also have plenty of e-books on my Kindle Fire. I hope to try to read more of the e-books then I did last year. I know I’ve mentioned before that I like using my Kindle Fire to take reading with me when I’m traveling. But I haven’t taken a trip since Covid-19 showed up and I don’t want my Kindle Fire to just sit there and collect dust. So, I’m going to make it a goal to utilize my Kindle more this year.
Do you have any reading goals? If so, what are they? If you don’t mind, please share in the comments below…….
