Relish the words;

Reread books that bring comfort or inspire;

Enjoy music, food, and art that match my books;

Skip to the end without guilt

📚 ❤️ 😍

Bookish Goals for 2025:

read what I want, not what’s popular

utilize the local library

focus on quality over quantity

don’t push myself to read a certain way

don’t push myself to read certain things

annotate (or don’t)

DNF more! reading should be fun!

unfollow creators promoting overconsumption

follow creators who inspire me

read as much or as little as I feel like

The usual book basics are below to start our chat. If you’re new to my Books & Cats blog…

Anyone else in a reading slump? 2024 is the first year I haven’t posted regular book reviews (you can find links to earlier years here: 2023 and 2022 ). I won’t bore you with the details of my year…at least not in this post. I have been reading and I’d love to just right in to a new chat that includes multiple recs for…
