MBS (Martha's Bookshelf) 2023 Reading GOALS
GOODREADS Goal: 125 again
I exceeded this goal the last two years but I know I have some longer audios I plan to listen to this year.
TBR Goal: 90 again All media: Audio, ebook or print.
I am keeping this the same.
AUDIOBOOK Goal: 100 again
I will join the 2023 Audiobook Challenge, hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer and That's What I am Talking About, with the highest level again - The 100 Club (Audiobook Addict) 100+.
NETGALLEY Goal: 10 again
Since I can do audio on NetGalley so this should be doable with a few children’s titles too. I currently have five (plus two older)on my shelf.
AUTHOR Reviews Goal: ? I'd like to do at least 4, one per quarter.
If I can get to some then I will be glad to do so.
NONFICTION Goal: 10
I reduced this from 12. I like including this to get in nonfiction. Most likely the books will be TBR audiobooks.
EBOOKS or PRINT Goal: 8
This is reduced from 12. I am struggling with ebooks and print. I only got to 10 in 2022 because four were children's books.
SEASONS Goal: 4
I will do this again for Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn (maybe Fall).
SERIES Goal: 75
I have done over 90 the last two years so this should be easily doable.
ALPHABET CHALLENGE #1: My first choice is AUDIO SERIES which I so enjoy! Most will be TBR before 2023 as I have bought several and held them for 2023 listening. Part of my fun decisions will be choosing between a series I am familiar with or those I want to start!
NO ALPHABET CHALLENGE #2: I may do a second set but I am not setting it as a goal. Although the Alphabet helps me pick from my overflowing shelves, I am going to keep my options open for more free flow this year so I won't worry about a second set.
YouVersion Bible App Goal: Bible through the year and 5 additional plans. (I reduced plans from 10 to 5 to meet what I did in 2022.)
Three New Goals this year:
LOCATIONS Goal: 8
This is for settings in the titles like Mountain, River, Woods, Sky, Inn, Ranch, Bay, Ruins, Villa, City, Lighthouse, etc. I may have a liberal interpretation but I think this will be a fun way to pick books.
NUMBERS Goal: 12
I am not insisting these be in order like One to Twelve although I will do some in that group. But I will be picking titles with numbers in them as another way to pick books.
GROUPS OF FIVES: Five categories with five titles for each:
Five Places (Covered by Locations) Five Numbers (Covered by Numbers)
Five Times of Day: i.e., Dawn, Sunrise, Morning, Noon, Twilight, Sunset, Evening, Night, Midnight
Five Occupations: i.e., Cowboy, Rancher, Cook, Detective, Witch, Sorceress, Soldier
Five Colors: I'm pretty sure I can find at least five. :-)
I love all your goals. The locations goal is especially fun looking
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Martha!
ReplyDeleteYou do you! I read close to none last year so am just hoping to make time this year.
Have a good bookish year ahead!
Good luck on all your goals! I set less and less, and try to focus on my TBRs, while (hopefully) living some room for random reading
