Top Ten Tuesday - Bookish Goals for 2025
1. Read more ebook and print books. My drive to work is 45 minutes, so I mostly listen to audiobooks, but I want to start reading more hands-on books this year.
2. Less screen time and more reading. I don’t have any gaming apps on my phone or iPad because if I did I would be playing them constantly. (Been there done that already - almost to the point of it becoming an addiction). I’ll download the Scrabble app every once in a blue moon, but only if I’m extremely bored. This year I want to focus on reading more and surfing the internet less, especially at night after I get home from work.
3. Monthly reading goal. This one is a big “maybe” because I don’t want to stress myself out trying to reach a reading goal and lose my joy of reading in the process. (Been there done that too). I would like to listen to two audiobooks and read two ebooks or print books each month, but I’m not setting that in stone. If I do it, that’s great, but if not that’s okay too.
4. Be a better little free library steward. I’ve owned a little free library since December 2021. It was a year-long labor of love my husband designed and built for me, and I set out with such great intentions of rotating the books every week. Unfortunately, I've failed miserably, especially in the past year or so. My plan for 2025 is to be more active by adding new books regularly and offering other things, like coloring pages and seasonal goodies for the kids in the community. I might repaint it too.

Thanks for visiting! Happy Tuesday!
DeleteIt’s cool that you can listen to audiobooks while working!
ReplyDeleteOops. I should probably go back and rephrase that. What I meant to say was that it takes me 45 minutes to drive to work, so I listen to audiobooks to pass the time while I'm driving. LOL. I wish I could listen to audiobooks while working. That would be awesome. :)
DeleteI am going to try and do less screen time more reading this year. Here is my post. https://paigesofnovels.wordpress.com/2025/01/15/top-ten-tuesday-bookish-goals-for-2025/.
ReplyDeleteGreat goal! Thank you for visiting! Happy Thursday!
DeleteWe just moved and I left our Little Free Library behind. I was able to get a local newspaper to donate some old dispensers and we converted them into huge LFL's. I've already asked my husband to build something a little smaller for our new house.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Thank you for visiting! Happy Thursday!
DeleteI gave up watching tv years ago and I took all gaming apps off my phone and iPad a couple years ago when they got to be too addicting. Now, I need to work on doing less social media scrolling. Giving this stuff up has definitely helped me read more and feel more in control of my time. Good luck with all your goals!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
I need to scroll less on social media too. Ugh. Why does it have to be so much fun? LOL. Happy Thursday, Susan!
DeleteGood luck on these goals!
