Top Ten Tuesday: Reading Goals ’23

October 3: Reading Goals I Still Want to Accomplish Before the End of the Year (We’ve just begun the last quarter of the year! What bookish goals would you still like to accomplish? If you participated in TTT’s Bookish Goals for 2023 topic this past January, update us on which goals you’ve achieved, which you’ve given up on, and which ones you’re still working on!)

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

I did not do Bookish Goals for 2023. I have a feeling I did not understand the prompt. 🙄

So, I looked at other blog posts from January and hopefully did a reasonably good job with my list.

1. Read all the books currently on hold for me:

I’ve started The Dutch House and stayed up late reading Google News (I have a news addiction).

2. Review a minimum of one of the above books.

3. Write every evening, except Tuesday evening. Tuesday evenings I tend to read other people’s blogs.

4. Stop thinking about how many books I’m behind for the year. Not everything is a contest.

5. Read more Horror. Useful article: Readers’ Top 66 Horror Novels of the Past Three Years

6. Read more sci-fi. Starting with Old Man’s War Series and The Murderbot Diaries Series.

7. Listen to Audiobooks while walking or cleaning the house.

8. Read more fun books about cats, such as All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome.

9. Turn off the news.

10. Stop obsessively reading the News throughout the day – I am not confident I’ll be able to deliver on this one. 😁
