This is very late, but I’m a terrible planner so this is just going have to be late and that’s okay. In early 2022 I created a 2022 Reading Resolutions post which you can read here, and I thought it was high time to explore how I did with these over the year, which obviously was terribly.

1. Bring Down My TBR

2. Finish Series

I actually read and completed, or got up to date with, three series in my reading during 2022. Which is not a good number, but I am proud of because three is unusually high for me. I am endeavouring to complete more series again this year, and as I have a few duologies to complete I’m hoping this may prove easier for me (fingers crossed). You can read about the series I want to finish in 2023 here.

3. Read More Classics

In my post I said I wanted to read more classics, which I did do because I read two in 2022, which is a +2 increase from 2021 so go me! One of them was even a book I put in that pretty graphic: Pride & Prejudice, which is just as excellent as everyone says it is. However, two is not a good number, and whilst it’s not one of my 2023 resolutions I’m hoping I can improve it; maybe I’ll pick up some Austen to achieve that.

4. Keep a Good-ish Blog Schedule

No comment.

5. Read More Non-Fiction

I said I was going to read one chapter of a non-fiction book every week to achieve this goal, which just didn’t happen, and obviously it was never going to happen because what a stupid idea. I did however read two non-fiction books last year, which is barely any, but at least I read some.

This has really taught me I’m just awful at sticking to goals and keeping promises, and a more sensible person would probably realise this kind of routine doesn’t work for them and to look for different ways to set goals – good thing that’s not who I am! I will, again, try to stick to my new year reading resolutions even if they end in failure, as hopefully I will at some point learn from them. You can read about my 2023 reading resolutions here.
