I enjoyed hearing your insights.
I never read 100 in one year but when I reflect back on the year I read the most…I remember only a handful in any kind of meaningful way. That always proves to be a solid reminder about where my priorities should be when I’m feeling the arbitrary pressure to meet a numeric goal.
Happy new year! May 2025 bring you more meaningful bookish experiences (even if it costs you a bit numerically, haha).😊

Yeah, you need to be picky when you pick your reads! Good luck next year!

I clicked on this video so fast, lol. I've never read 100 books in a year and I don't think I ever will, unless my reading pace changes.
I hear you on this being a subpar reading year... also, the pressure to read new releases constantly is real. It's definitely easy to get caught up in it all and rush to read the new release and then move onto the next, (speaking from my own experience, but mirrors your thoughts quite a bit) then the book ends up being just ok and I'm like, what was all the rush/pressure to read this for..?
You always provide really great insight into books and well-rounded reviews. Regardless if they are new-release or backlist, it's something I really appreciate watching and getting recommendations from your vids. I hope next year is a better reading year for you, sounds like we both will be aiming to read more mindfully 😊 Happy holidays!!

Thanks so much for watching! I'm looking forward to revamping my reading and finding some amazing books in 2025!

I read 127 books this year! a new record - also new record for page count, so it wasn't just a bunch of shorties lol there were some chonkers in there. lots of bangers! a handful of re-reads. 30 all time faves if I count a series as "one". my goal was just 100 pages a day and definitely did that. not for any competition or ego thing, it's just there are SO many books I want to read! 😅 I read on all my work breaks, frequently listen to audiobooks on my daily 3 mile walks, and read for multiple hours a day during my free time because I don't have TV (just RUclips on my phone).. annnnd I don't have a family or busy social life (if at all)... that definitely plays a factor. oh! also reading a lot from the library and DNF'g ruthlessly helps too 😂

That's amazing! I'm glad you had a stellar reading year! I hope 2025 is even better!!

[@bramstokerfan]
