2024 Reading Goal Update

With only two months left in the year, I did a quick check-in on my reading goals for 2024, and I realized I have A LOT of reading to do.

I prefer tracking my reading progress on The Storygraph because it has the ability to track comprehensive, detailed metrics. I still keep my Goodreads account, but I find that I am using it less and less now that The Storygraph is available. If you are on either one of these platforms, you can connect with me in the links above. 

As of today, I’ve read 35 books this year. Starting this blog has slowed my reading pace a bit, but it has also allowed me to look at books critically, and I am able to extract additional perspective from them. I really think about everything I read now, and every novel leaves an imprint on me in some way. I hope to reach my goal of 50 books by the end of the year, but if that doesn’t happen, that’s okay too. 

December’s newsletter will go out at the end of the year with an overview of everything I read in 2024 and a list of my favorite overall recommendations. 

October Reading Wrap-Up

I read and reviewed three books in October. I really enjoyed two of them, but one fell flat. You can read comprehensive reviews by clicking on each book below. If you decide to read any of these novels, I have dedicated posts on my social media channels where you can comment to discuss them.  

Planning for 2025

My favorite part about running this space is interacting with other people who love to read and learn. In preparation for the new year, I have been brainstorming ways to accommodate and connect more readers. Participating in the poll below will help me gauge how our community would like to grow.

The Frankfurt Book Fair

The Frankfurt Book Fair is an amazing publishing-focused conference that takes place in Germany each year. The 2024 fair took place last month, and there was a lot of great information that came out of the meeting. The Frankfurt Book Fair website has a media library that you can browse to view discussions by topic. I found three of the panels to be particularly interesting and relevant to issues happening in the United States. If you have time to watch these videos, they are very thoughtful and informative. 

Coming Soon

I will be posting individual reviews periodically through the end of the year. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season, and I would love to catch up with everyone on my social media accounts if you aren’t already following over there!
