2025 Bookish Goals

2024/12/9 Edited to

... Read moreAs we approach 2025, setting bookish goals can help enhance your reading experience and increase your engagement with diverse literature. One key goal might be to read non-fiction, which expands knowledge and provokes thought. For instance, selecting two non-fiction books this year could deepen understanding of social issues or personal development topics. Additionally, focusing on indie authors not only supports diverse voices but also introduces unique narratives that challenge mainstream clichés. Another enriching goal is to include more stories featuring BIPOC characters authored by BIPOC writers. This ensures a broader perspective and enriches our literary landscape, vital for personal and societal growth. Moreover, achieving a reading target, such as reading 100 books in a year, can encourage routine reading habits and provide a sense of accomplishment. Tracking your progress through platforms like Instagram can also foster community engagement, allowing you to reach milestones like gaining 1000 followers that share your passion. For those with creative ambitions, setting goals like finishing a work in progress (WIP) or editing multiple books will propel you towards your writing aspirations. Engaging actively on platforms like Lemon8 and TikTok can keep the momentum going, especially with a target of reaching 500 followers on Lemon8 and 10,000 on TikTok. Lastly, becoming a better advocate for marginalized groups in the bookish community will not only enrich your experience but also empower others. Reflect on your goals regularly and adjust them as necessary to ensure they remain enriching and beneficial for both you and the community.
