My 2026 goals and bookish goals

So, I’ve already written out my 2026 goals. I basically had them all set and ready back in December, just so I could prepare myself and try to get ahead of the game. I’ve honestly been slacking a bit with putting those goals on here, though. I either hear that you shouldn’t share your goals because it gives you instant gratification, and you would wind up not doing it. But I’ve also heard that sharing can help because it’ll give you accountability.

How to create reading goals without the burnout

I feel like this is going to be a tough one for a lot of readers. How do we create reading goals without burning out? It’s just what we do.

It shouldn’t be that way, though. Reading is our hobby for a reason or else it wouldn’t be our hobby at all. We don’t read to look cool, and we don’t read to look “smart”. Granted, I’m sure there are some people out there who do, but they are necessarily true readers, are they?

How to plan your 2026 reading goals

I think a lot of people will be creating 2026 reading goals soon, and I know I will be too. But what should our reading goals look like, and how do we make them a lot less overwhelming?

I feel like just about all readers start the new year with at least some goals in mind. Whether that’s what books you want to get to in that year, or how many books you really want to read.

5 winter books for adults

Winter time seems to be one of the slowest times of the year. Or at least the winter months that don’t deal with the holidays. Now the holidays can either make the time go by really fast for you or really slow for you, depending on how you feel about it. And what better way to kind of distract yourself by reading winter books for adults?
