I saw this post over at Bridget’s Books and thought it was such a good idea that I would also make some Reading Resolutions and then re-visit them at the end of the year.
1) I read 64 books in 2012 so I am setting a target of 70 for 2013.
2) I am going to read at least one book per month from my 50 Books to Read Before You Die list. I did make a decent dent in this list towards the end of last year by taking part in the Harry Potter Read Along but I want to continue with the progress on this.
3) I will read at least 30 eBooks this year. My eReader has been sadly neglected lately as I have borrowed books from my Dad and I’ve now been given quite a few books for Christmas but I need to use it more often or there isn’t much point having it.
4) I will not buy new books when I still have other books to read. The only exception to this resolution will be at occasions like my birthday when I can use birthday money to buy books even if I have some left to read.
5) Finish my J Edgar Hoover book that has been going since June! It is an enormous book so I tend to restrict it to reading at home as it is too big for me to take it to work to read at lunch. Sometimes though I get so engrossed in whatever other book I happen to be reading at the time that I don’t stick to my plan of reading Hoover in the evenings before bed so he does occasionally get neglected. I am quite close to the end now though so I would like to finally finish it.
I may add to these resolutions if I think of anything else but for the moment these are my reading resolutions for the year. Hopefully I’ll be able to stick to them all.
Thanks for the link! Good luck with your goals
You’re welcome. Was a good idea so thought I’d follow your excellent example. Good luck with yours too.
