My 2025 reading goals
It’s time to talk about reading goals for the year! Of course I have a numerical goal of reading 75 books this year but I also have a few smaller goals that I want to try and achieve this year.
1) My local library puts out a list of 50 prompts that we match with books for 50 weeks that I have done for the past 5 years. I’m excited to see and share those prompts when they are available.
2) When it comes to non-fiction I usually only read poetry so this year I want to expect and try and read beyond just poetry. I felt like at least one a month would be good to start.
3) Quality over quantity. This year I want to focus on the books I am reading and take my time if I need to instead of trying to read as fast as I can to get the most read as quickly as possible because that will end up putting me in a reading slump.

As we embark on our reading journeys in 2025, having clear goals is crucial for maintaining motivation and enjoyment. The idea of participating in local reading challenges is not only fun but also expands the variety we read throughout the year. For instance, many libraries offer diverse prompts that can inspire readers to explore genres they may not usually consider. Additionally, aiming to read non-fiction can open up new perspectives and knowledge areas. Aiming for at least one non-fiction book a month is a manageable yet impactful way to enrich your understanding of the world. Quality over quantity is a mantra many avid readers adopt. Instead of racing to meet a numeric goal, savoring each book allows for a deeper connection with the material. Consider reflecting on your reading experiences through journaling or discussions with fellow readers. This can enhance your appreciation for the nuances within each story or factual account. In 2025, let’s embrace our reading goals as a means of growth and enjoyment rather than a mere metric of achievement. Whether it’s through tackling library challenges, incorporating non-fiction, or focusing on meaningful reads, the journey is what truly matters.
