2022 Reading Goals
2022 - Reading Goals In 2020 I set reading goals for the first time. I wanted to re-read more books, read more self-growth type books and read more series.

2020 Reading Goals
2020 Reading Goals Last year my reading goal was simply to read 100 books. I met that goal, but I feel like it led me to focus more on hurrying through books rather than sinking into them. This year I have a few goals, but none of them are overall quantity. #1) I would like... Continue Reading →
