My Reader Goals 2019
I challenged myself to read 52 books this year. And I have a plan... 🧐
...Read more “Hell, Yeah!” books.
The past few years I was experimenting a lot and reading books I would not really pick up at first glance. And looking back I saw that my average rating for all the books I read was 3.9. I think that's low. That means I didn't read enough books that I thought were really exciting. I read lots of “meh” books. You can see a list of all my read books here.
This year I want to read books that have been on my “to be read list” for some time because they are sequels to stories I already love.
Also, I was inspired by the Reading Glasses challenge (great podcast about Book Culture, BTW) and borrowed some of their ideas to my Reader Goals:
- Read a graphic novel (or two...)
- Read more of authors I already know and love
- Read a book by a trans author
- Listen to 1 audiobook per month (non-fiction)
- Listen to 1 fiction audiobook [never tried it before!]
Read sequels of the Series I already love:
The Expanse by James S. A. Corey (#4 to #7)
Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells (#3)
Old Man's War by John Scalzi (#2 to #6)
Parasol Protectorate by Gail Carriger (#2 to #5)
The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
Start Reading The Dresden Files Series by Jim Butcher [never read it before! Wanna try!]
Read books I've already have purchased/pre-ordered:
- The Armored Saint by Myke Cole
- Paladin of Souls (World of the Five Gods #2) by Lois McMaster Bujold
- Changeless (Parasol Protectorate #2) by Gail Carriger
- Enough by Patrick Rhone (Kindle Unlimited)
- Drive by Daniel H. Pink
- Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport [pre-ordered]
- Team Human by Douglas Rushkoff [pre-ordered]
- Blood, Sweat, and Pixels: The Triumphant, Turbulent Stories Behind How Video Games Are Made by Jason Schreier
Read some picks from The Sword and Laser Bookclub and Vaginal Fantasy Bookclub throughout the year, because they are awesome (love their podcast)!
Also read some picks from Vaginal Fantasy
I am sure I'll keep adding titles to this list but I will try to consider this my priority list for 2019 😎
