Hello!
I have been doing quite a bit of thought regarding my Bookish Goals for 2025. My 2024 goals did not go exactly to plan. I had to lower my book goal, I didn’t finish the Shardlake series, I didn’t manage to read my planned 24 books of 2024. However, I did keep up with my book reviews and I did make progress with The Wheel of Time series so it wasn’t all bad.
Goals for 2025
- Read 50 books
- Work on my Classics Club Challenge
- Keep up to date with my book reviews
- Do more buddy reads (if you are interested please drop me a message)
- Try to finish at least one series I have started.
- Explore different genres.
I managed 45 books in 2024 but a lot of those books were huge. In fact 2024 was the year of big books so I’m planning some shorter reads for 2025.
I haven’t really done much on my Classics Club Challenge recently and I am missing my classics. I really want to read more classics this year as my deadline is 2027.
As my challenge to keep up with book reviews kept me well on track last year I am hoping to do the same this year. I have also been planning my blogging content more which has been a big help in pushing me to do my book reviews. I just need to be as organised for my Bookstagram!
This year I want to do more buddy reads. I have already started my first buddy read this year with my best friend and I am really enjoying it. Each day we read a chapter and then chat about it and it is lovely.
I currently have the Wheel of Time series, The Expanse series and the Shardlake series to finish! I am determined that this year I will finish one of these series. I really don’t want to start another series whilst I still have these series sat making me feel guilty.
I also hope to read some different genres this year. I have certain genres that I tend to avoid and other genres I cling to like a security blanket. This year I want to try some of the genres I avoid. I’ve already started by reading a ghost story and I’m currently reading a biography, neither of which I would usually touch but both that I’m thoroughly enjoying so far.
So there are my goals for 2025. I really hope I do better than I did in 2024. Good luck with your bookish goals!
Happy Reading

Good luck with the goals.
While I don’t set goals, I hoping to read at least two more WOT books this year. Which one are you up to?
I’m reading book one of the Shardlake series this month or next for bookclub. Will see if it is one I want to continue or leave at book one. I do enjoy some historical fiction but it’s one I usually only dip in and out of.

Thank you. I am currently half way through A Crown Of Swords. I love the Shardlake series so I hope you enjoy the first book.
