#Read2025 #Wardens2025

This started out with vibes of the ‘90‘s 🎥 ‘She‘s All That‘ (starring Freddie Prinze Jr. & Sarah Leah Cook) but, not quite. I was pleasantly surprised.

I enjoyed the characters & the story. A lighter/fluffier read👍🏻 I may carry on with the rest of this series as Libby has the available in ebook.

#Read2025

My 2025 reading has been good, but not fantastic🤷🏻‍♀️ That hat being said, last month I lowered my GR/SG goals. I want to focus on enjoying & learning from my reads as opposed, not worry about numbers.

Let‘s be kind & encouraging towards each other🥰 Share a post & let me/us know how you‘re doing today🧐🩺. Where are you in your reading goals for the year? Do you set goals? How do you decide what your goals will be? 📚

Ruthiella I always set my official Goodreads goal at a number I know I can reach. I like to see it count down, but don‘t want to stress. What I‘m focusing now on is reading what I own…not exclusively, but with more intention. 2w

TheBookHippie I don‘t set goals or keep track. This horrifies people. 🙃💕🫣💕🙃 2w

MonicaLoves2Read I set a reading goal a little above what I read the prior year. I don't really worry if I hit it or not. Some books are quick reads, while others I end up going down a rabbit hole. If I reach my goal, if I don't that's OK bc I know I enjoyed every book I read. 2w

See All 15 Comments

willaful I don't set goals, unless participating in challenges counts. I try to keep away from counting books because it puts me into a “moar is better!“ mindset that keeps me away from time-consuming books. And I find counting hours or pages too confining.

I do want to read more books I own, because we're really low on space and working on decluttering. I've gotten rid of books I've owned since I was 12! 2w

PuddleJumper I only set goals I know I can achieve. I like the achievement but I don't want to stress. I'm trying to read books that I own because I buy books when I'm sad and then never read them 😅 2w

DieAReader @PuddleJumper 👏🏻👏🏻I try to set reasonable goals lol. I just missed the mark this year. 2w

DieAReader @willaful Fabulous job! I‘ve also made a habit (2 yrs running) of reading my owned books. Some I‘ve been carrying around for a decade or more, with no clear/valid reason for it. Some authors I wanted all their books before starting any of them🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😬 I‘ve stopped doing that too, thankfully. 2w

DieAReader @MonicaLoves2Read Excellent! I always feel the need to best myself lol 2w

DieAReader @TheBookHippie 😂I can see why. It‘s become my default. 2w

DieAReader @Ruthiella I think I‘m gonna have to set a default yearly goal & whatever I read over will be a bonus♥️🤓 2w

TheBookHippie @DieAReader I do have a schedule of books I‘m reading for the year. But that‘s about it. Basically I‘m leading the reads so … 🤣 2w

DieAReader @TheBookHippie 🎉😂Excellent!! 2w

AnnCrystal I set my yearly expectations at one, every other book read is a bonus 😂...no, just kidding. I'm a sluggish reader and a mood reader. This is the first year I've kept track...From Nov. 2024 to Nov. 2025 I've read fourteen books 🥳📚💝. I'm happily surprised by the number, even knowing I've had a terrible reading year because of this dark reality we're all living 👀🥺📚💝. I'm hopeful I can read 24-29 books next year🤞🏼🤔 For sure 01 🤗📚💝. 2w

DieAReader @AnnCrystal 🤓A goal is a goal! Excellent job on your 2024-2025 reading🤓👏🏻 Best of luck in 2026📚 2w

AnnCrystal Thanks @DieAReader 🥳👌🏼🪄📚💝📚. (edited) 2w
