Athena Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) My reading goals and reading plans for 2018 I usually write out a lot of reading goals and reading plans for each year, but this time I didn't quite feel in the mood for that. So I'm going to keep this short and simple. In 2018 I would like to read some great books, but I'm not going to go for a specific number of books or pages (though I probably will once I see how close I get to certain amounts). I've had some moments in 2017 where I was in a reading slump / had low mojo for a while. At the moment I haven't read a book in 10 days. Anyway, I would like to continue to read a variety of genres for a variety of age ranges. I would like to try to participate in all the read-a-thons, if possible (I might have to skip on one or two because the dates don't work for me), but hopefully without putting too much pressure on myself. I'm going to try to not buy too many books and not spend too much money on books, but let's be honest, I know myself. I'll just do what I can and try, though. I hope everyone has a great year of reading in 2018 . Last Updated: 01-01-2018 Edited January 1, 2018 by Athena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
