My big goal this year was writing reviews for most of what I read. Success! I don't have hard stats for what percent got reviews but probably 80-90%. Something I started in November is tracking the cost of what I'm reading. I already bargain hunt constantly, so why not turn it into "my thing." Library, KU, Thriftbooks, sales, etc. Other goal for next year is to make Booktube videos. I shall harness the thrifty reading!
My goal this year is to share more about reading and be more active in the reading community. I will be sharing my own goals for this channel video soon myself. I started watching your channel this summer and love watching all your videos. Read what you want!
I feel like it really shows that you have had SO much fun this year, your content just always radiates joy and excitement, it's so contagious!! Really looking forward to everything you have in store, I'm along for the wild ride babyyyy 🥰🥰
Main goal: Continue reading. This year was the year of getting back into reading so im hoping to keep it going. If I could get better at posting on my book socials too that would be good 😂. I started the TT thing earlier this year but keep considering the YT thing..and then talk myself out of it because I dont know what im doing 😂
I found your channel this year and I’m having so much fun with it! I love how honest you are when talking about the books you read, and I’ve been loving the books you’re recommending on your channel. I have found fantasy romance this year, so any that you talk about I’ve been checking those out! 🚙
these are wonderful goals and I will definitely be more mindful of some of these things too like reading more of what I want and being more intentional with making content I enjoy. But also, THANK YOU for the shoutout. I was listening while multitasking and I was like HOLD UP, that's me! 🚌🚌
Great goals!! 👏🏼 Also completely agree that viewers can tell when you’re enjoying yourself and when you’re not so absolutely lean into DNFing more and reading whatever why choose book your heart desires haha! 😁🚗
Reading subscription books and my owned tbr are big goals of the next year!!! I also want to utilize KU more! Love how personal these goals are!!! I love your "something random picks my tbr videos" they're so fun, would love to do a similar concept but sadly don't have the time to make it happen.
1:50 I'd watch anything you post, but a video in which you are excited and having fun, having a blast, really hits differently, it charges me with even more positivity😊 Great goals!❤ Your content lately drove me to really pay attention to all the series I've started and try to keep up with them and finish the completed ones🚙
i tend to binge read most series (unless they are not so tighly connected) and thanks to you :i binged through bonds that tie series and loved it ! i also really enjoyed your TBR's and your goal of trying have less ongoing series!! thank you for giving me so much inspiration to read more romantasy :)
I’m really here for all of the goals that are better for you rather than trying to chase the algorithm or do what’s trendy or whatever- I just found your channel recently and the reason I’ve been loving it so much is because you’re so you and your channel is so tailored to what you like! I’m excited to see where the next year and beyond takes you 🚙
Great goals! Year by year I have started to prioritize KU. Every time I have the impulse to buy a physical book, I check if it’s available on KU. I’ll read there and if it’s a 4 or 5 star, if I fell like it’s a book that connects to my heart, that I’ll like to read again, then I buy the physical copy, maybe even a special edition. Books are too expensive and the economy it’s getting worse and worse, my responsible side won’t let me pay so much for books that may be a mediocre read or even a DNF. Also, reding on my kindle is so much more convenient… This habit made me reduce considerably the quantity of books I buy every year. I only bought 12 in 2024, so far… I rather use the money for travel.
Love the goals, watching you actually inspired me to start DNFing books I wasn’t enjoying so a big thank you for that ❤ looking forward to all your content in the new year! 🚗 (p.s. would love to see Nick choose your TBR if you guys are comfortable doing that 😊)
I think my biggest goal for 2025 is to get more involved with the community things. It's been an off year for me! Love hearing all of your goals and what you learned this year 🏎️
I love random things picking your TBR! Excited for more of those next year. And forever on team pro-DNF. I’m sitting at 40% (35) read KU books currently, and even more tried/dnfed. So happy to be getting my money’s worth out of the subscription. 🛴
For me, my two big goals for 2025 are to read 100 books, I've always gotten close, but never actually reaching that goal. And I would also like to start using my Instagram more for books. I get intimidated by bookish social media because of how professional and fun it looks, while I feel really awkward, so I want to get more comfortable with that. 🚗
🚃 I totally agree with pretty much all that you said!!! i stopped chasing the algo and just posted what i wanted when i wanted and i started having so much more fun again (there was a while i didn't post at all but thats just life haha im on my way to a comeback now). i really had to just give up on wanting to hit certain numbers because i got too in my head about it and that also helped me mentally! im just here to have fun and chat and create. also agree on not forcing myself to read certain genres just bc i think i "should." ive loved watching you this year and here's to more good things to come in 2025 ❤
Many years back I began giving books 1 year and if I don’t read them I donate them to schools or libraries or the little library in my neighborhood over time this made me think more about the books I was purchasing and got rid of book fomo because the thought of spending 300-400 a weeks on books that wouldn’t get read began to feel like bad financial decisions and made me unhappy especially if the books weren’t that good so my excuse of but it’s not hurting anyone or I can afford it I’m not in debt started to make me question why I felt buying all these book mattered if I wasn’t reading the books and therefore they piled up until “special time” to read them it was a huge push to make me actually read what I wanted and not what everyone else was reading I’m 35 now and I still buy a lot of books I just don’t do random buys I go in with at least 10 books selected and any others have to fit within genres I know I’ll read and if I do buy something completely out of my comfort zone I’ll only buy like 1 a month and I read it first to ensure I read it books out of my comfort zone are the main books that go unread when kept to long or books that are just plain boring in the first 30 pages I’m excited about your goals I may rethink some of mine ❤❤❤❤
Considering your community goal, I just wanted to shout out something 😊 - about 2 months ago, I stumbled upon Battle of the Booktubers hosted by Danni Dabbles and more or less binge-watched all of the episodes available (we still have a finale upcoming 💪). I remember thinking that you'd probably have a blast participating in it. I just wanted to shout it out because I believe Danni is considering second season, which I am really excited about 😁
✈️ I’d like to be more consistent with my RUclips videos and figure out an editing situation that works for me. I’d also like to prioritize my owned books bc I have so many that I haven’t read 😅
yes, thank you. when booktubers don't update their goodreads until after their video comes out I find it annoying, and I'm really not sure why. I don't notice it too often, but when I do - okay, whatever insert eye roll. not you - others. I looked, I'm following you, but I don't see you on my feed. Here's a couple more sentences of things you don't care about - I want to try dark romances next year and see how I feel about them, and I want to complete the backlist of at least two authors. I've recently gotten a bookstagram and though I've little to no followers, I would like to post more for my own sake.
My goal is to read more romantasy than Cassidy. Okay, are we all done laughing? My real goal is to simply keep steadily reading throughout the year and minimize slumps as best I can. Also want to utilize KU more and just continue to socialize on Discord with everybody.
Yes to all of this! Allowing myself to read what I want lately has made content creation much more freeing!
It’s so freeing!

KU has so many amazing books actually!!
Love these goals!
My main goal for next year: Don't be a lurker (beating back that social anxiety and hopefully make some more bookish friends 🎉).
I've been loving you chatting 💗💗
Main goal: Continue reading. This year was the year of getting back into reading so im hoping to keep it going. If I could get better at posting on my book socials too that would be good 😂.

Heehee thanks for making good content 💗
Great goals!! 👏🏼 Also completely agree that viewers can tell when you’re enjoying yourself and when you’re not so absolutely lean into DNFing more and reading whatever why choose book your heart desires haha! 😁🚗
Dnfing books is honestly life changing 🏎️
Agreed!!!
100% yes to dnfing and binging series!! Also my goals
It will be our year!!!
Reading subscription books and my owned tbr are big goals of the next year!!! I also want to utilize KU more! Love how personal these goals are!!! I love your "something random picks my tbr videos" they're so fun, would love to do a similar concept but sadly don't have the time to make it happen.
Love these goals! 2025 is definitely the year of giving grace and being authentic 🛵
YOUR HAIR LOOKS SO GOOD! THE VOLUME! THE CURLS! 🔥
Hahah only for the first minute😂 and then it loses it
I still watch the video even if I see it on goodreads. I really enjoyed your goals. They are good ones!

DNFing is necessity sometimes and I'm glad that you are embracing it.
My reading goal is literally just to read haha with school I don’t think I’ll have a lot of spare time so hoping to just keep reading
This makes a lot of sense I will be wishing you luck
🚗love your goals. I want to do more things like this too.
🚃 I totally agree with pretty much all that you said!!! i stopped chasing the algo and just posted what i wanted when i wanted and i started having so much more fun again (there was a while i didn't post at all but thats just life haha im on my way to a comeback now). i really had to just give up on wanting to hit certain numbers because i got too in my head about it and that also helped me mentally! im just here to have fun and chat and create. also agree on not forcing myself to read certain genres just bc i think i "should." ive loved watching you this year and here's to more good things to come in 2025 ❤
i need to stop worring about gainning or lossing followers... and just have fun with what i am creating :) it a process

Great goals! I like seeing the GR updates even if I haven’t seen the video yet…it had 0 impact on me watching.
You're right...Preach haha. I love this and here's to things we love in 2025!
✈️ I’d like to be more consistent with my RUclips videos and figure out an editing situation that works for me. I’d also like to prioritize my owned books bc I have so many that I haven’t read 😅
Queen of the DNF here to say, yes, DNFing is good for the soul.
❤ 📚 ❤

When they mass rate their reads I think “ oh they must have post a video” 😂
