My birthday was last week so while this should have been posted the first of the year, I sometimes like to think of my birthday as the start of my year. Just an excuse!
I thought long and hard about my goals for 2019 since I didn’t quite get to the number I wanted last year and I realized that I didn’t want it to be about the number, but about the books. That being said, I still wanted to strive for something. So a more realistic number of books, a goal to read new books, continue blogging and to try out audiobooks! I don’t usually listen to books despite a longish commute (mainly because I’m afraid that if I listen while driving, I’ll pay more attention to the reading) but I hear so many wonderful things so I’m giving it a try. I kept the number low in case I really don’t like them but we’ll see how it goes.
Like 2018, I’m going to track my books here (and on Goodreads) so you can always check out what I’ve read and I’ll link to the books I blog about! Here are my goals:
- Becoming by Michelle Obama – NEW to me
- The Black Echo by Michael Connelly – re-read
- Past Tense by Lee Child – NEW to me
- The Widow by Fiona Barton – new to me
- Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot – NEW to me
- On The Come Up by Angie Thomas – NEW to me
- Adele by Leila Slimani – NEW to me
- The Huntress by Kate Quinn – NEW to me
- Cemetery Road by Greg Iles – NEW to me
- The Racketeer by John Grisham – new to me
- My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite – NEW to me
- The Child by Fiona Barton – new to me
- Washington Black by Esi Edugyan – NEW to me
- Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng – reread
- Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid – NEW to me
