New year / new books

"As we approach the end of the year, remember that your reading life isn't defined by numbers. Rather than focusing on how many books you read, or not, here are some questions to ask yourself instead...

Did I read a book this year I still can't stop thinking about?

What life circumstances impacted my reading life?

Did I discover any new authors or genres?

Have my reading tastes/preferences changed at all?

What formats worked best for me this year?

What would I like to maintain & what would I like to do differently?

How to make the most of your reading life...

embrace mood reading

set non-numerical goals

don't over-commit to challenges, guides or lists

read deeper, not faster

hone in on your reading taste, but also be curious beyond your comfort zone"
