Celebrate the New Year With Books and Reading
Well, the clock has chimed midnight, the bell has rung, the ball has dropped, and we have been launched into 2023. So let’s talk about some bookish ways to celebrate the new year. Forget about wild parties and loud music and think about a get together where you swap books or settling into a comfy nook to read the evening away.
What are some of the ways that you might make books part of your new year or the new year part of your reading?
READING RESOLUTIONS
Goodreads hosts a reading challenge every year. If you want to set a goal for the number of books you would like to read, Goodreads will keep track of them and let you know when you have met your reading goal.
As of the day of writing this post, 2.408.157 people have joined the Goodreads reading challenge, with an average of 44 books pledged. Maybe you would aim for more than that number, maybe fewer. Setting and writing down your goal is a good incentive to complete it. And if you’re reading my blog, chances are, you love to read. (Why else are you here?)
You can also set up a Goodreads shelf of books to be read in 2023, with the top 12 (or more) books you plan to read.
