Goals, not resolutions: read more

I’ve signed up for basically blind dates with a book, two coming in the mail a month. The old me would be through both in two days now I’m learning to just enjoy the time I get.

New book to me “Girl in the Ferris Wheel” by Julie Halpern and Len Vlahos. I’m only a few chapters in but I like the style and the characters.

Please feel free to rec me books, I am pretty open to all. #booktok #recs #reading #reading goals #lemon8bookclub

... Read moreSetting reading goals rather than strict resolutions can lead to a more enjoyable literary experience. Many avid readers find that engaging with a variety of genres allows them to discover new perspectives and ideas. One method to enhance your reading journey is to explore book subscription services like the 'blind date with a book' concept. This encourages readers to step outside their comfort zones and enjoy stories they might not have chosen for themselves. In addition, participating in community discussions, such as those on #booktok or #lemon8bookclub, can provide valuable recommendations that enrich your reading list. Engaging with fellow readers allows for a shared appreciation of literature and can motivate you to reach your personal reading goals. Remember, the journey through books is personal, and it’s about savoring each page, whether you’re diving into 'Girl in the Ferris Wheel' or exploring other unique stories.

Why You Quit Your Resolutions by February
You’re treating goals like a to-do list, not a business strategy. Run quarterly check-ins with yourself the same way you’d review campaign performance. What’s working? What’s dead weight? What needs to pivot? You wouldn’t let a failing strategy run all year—don’t do it with your life. You made
