Read AT LEAST 104 books <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

That’s about 2 books a week and considering I read 230 in 2020, I imagine I’ll read way beyond that. However, I do not want the pressure of too big a number for my Goodreads challenge. Check out my end of year survey here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read more on my Kindle <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Last year I found myself ordering a lot of books. Due to space limitations and the ever growing TBR, I’d really like to use my Kindle Paperwhite more. An added bonus is that I generally read ebooks faster than paperbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step up my Bookstagram game<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Learning more about bookish photography, posting frequently and increasing follower count and engagement. I’ve been having a lot of fun with this lately. You can check it out at @readwithstefani<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participate in a READ-A-THON & do more reading challenges<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Not sure which one yet, too early in the year to tell, but I’d like to participate in at least one read-a-thon. I also want to be actively involved with the rest of the community participating in said read-a-thon and do more reading challenges as they’re so much fun. I participated in the 2020 edition of the Reading Rush<\/a>, read 30 books in 30 days<\/a> and also read thrillers from my brother’s bookshelf<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch less BOOKTUBE, but also resume own BOOKTUBE channel<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Reason being I’m subscribed to over 200 channels and it’s hard to keep up. I find myself opening the app and watching for hours on end, every SINGLE day and that’s too much. At the same time, I did record videos for most of 2014 and 2015 and I’m interested in trying video blogging once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TBR goals<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
  1. Read the books on my 2021 TBR<\/em> – This includes a list of 26 titles that I’ve recently shared in a blog post. You can check it out here<\/a>. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    2. Read my most anticipated books of 2021<\/em> – Overall, I’m not really keeping up with releases that much but I do have a general idea of books I’d like to read during the year. I shared them in last week’s TTT<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Read the books on my winter TBR<\/em> – also shared in a previous TTT<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. No more monthly TBR<\/em>s – I deviate from them anyway so they’re definitely do not work for me. Monthly wrap ups I’m yet to decide on but I do share them on my Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Write more reviews<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    I do write reviews on Goodreads, the goal specifically is to write them on the blog as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Make more bookish friends<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    Needs no explanation, right? And also related to another goal to get more involved in the community and blogosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Read more classics, but also read from new genres<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    I’ve recently gotten quite a few Vintage Classics edition and I’d like to read them, one can always read more classics. At the same time, I want to explore some new-to-me genres and authors.
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Read more diversely <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    I know what I like and I tend to stick to it and in 2021 I’d like to try and read more diversely, especially from cultures unknown to me, POC authors and marginalized groups. I have a tentative list, but any recommendation would be appreciated! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What are you goals for 2021? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
