Hello friends!

I hope you’re doing well! Are you excited for 2025? I know I am! Today I’m following up with a tradition here on the blog, with a post you already know was coming: my reading goals for the next year!

I love to make plans for the new year, and of course, my reading needs a ton of planning! Well, maybe just a little, but I love to set some new goals for the new year! My reading goals for 2025 will be similar to the ones I wrote in 2024, so don’t be surprised if you find some of them familiar.

One goal you won’t see this year is to reduce my book collection. I’m so embarrassed to say that I’ve had this same goal for the past few years… and I never reached the number I wanted! I have a ton of books, and even though I sold some of them and will keep selling them, I’ve accepted it will take time to reduce my collection. So this one is out of the list for now!

Ok, without further ado, here they are!

1. Read 60 books

This is probably the most important goal for me! This item is not news to you because every year my reading goal is set to 60 books. This means I plan on reading about 5 books per month, which I believe is a good number for me! It definitely depends on the year how easy it is to achieve it: some years it’s easy and I end up surpassing the goal; other years it is challenging! So this is a perfect number because it can be both depending on how my year is going! If I read 60 books in a year, I’ll be more than happy with my reading year in general!

2. Read 24 books from my physical TBR

I had a similar goal last year, but this time I’m planning on reading 12 books instead of 24! Reading from my physical TBR has been a bit of a struggle for me, so this year I’m making my life easier by lowering the number to read just 1 per month. I would love to reduce the amount of books I own, so this is why this goal is important to me. I want to prioritize what’s currently on my shelf, so hopefully this will go smoothly!

3. Read 1 fantasy series I have always wanted to read

In 2024 I’ve had the goal of reading 2 fantasy series, but in 2025 I’m going to make my life easier (once again) and commit to reading just one! I have a hard time committing to long book series, so I’ve added this goal to get out of my comfort zone and maybe fall in love with stories I usually don’t pick up. Here are some examples of series: Dune, The Lord of the Rings, A Curse So Dark and Lonely, Red Queen, City of Bones, Shadow and Bone, Throne of Glass, and many more!

4. Read 1 big book (>500 pages)

I’ve been struggling with this goal for the past few years, so for 2025 I’m going to try to read a single book over 500 pages. As I mentioned a million times before, I’m intimidated by big books, and since I know I’m missing out on some amazing stories, I need to fight this!

5. Only buy 12 books max

Even though I want to reduce my collection, I still want to have fun and freedom to visite bookstores and buy a few books whenever I feel like it – so this way I can buy books, but in a controlled way. If I follow this rule, I’ll be able to buy one book per month, and that should be more than enough for me.

6. Read every day

This may seem a simple one, but I really would love to read every single day. I know it won’t be easy, but I thought I would put this here as a way of making sure I read every day. I know this is going to be a little challenging, but I think I can easily read a few pages a day!

So what do you think of my reading goals for 2025? I think all of the reading goals that I’m setting are both challenging and achievable!

Tell me about you! Do you have any reading goals for 2025? Let me know!

See you in my next post 🙂
