2021 on Goodreads

Happy 2021!

My goals this year are to read more consistently, so i don't have to read so frantically and worry so much about ‘catching up'
enjoy the journey, think deeply and seek out meaning to what i'm reading
log in a journal again but in ways that are more useful
read the books i own: i am a cat, the hobbit, lotr 1-3, magician, a nest for celeste
... more to come!
i did start using notion to log my reading, which meant i didn't use this 2021 page so much. i wish it had more options for graphs and stats but i love it for what it can do.i didn't read ANY books i owned, and i purchased another 32 (all second-hand!) another one to push to next year haha. i did enjoy my reading more this year, i tried to force it less. i am struggling with reading only things i know i will like and trying to branch out a bit, meaning i'm getting a lot of 2.5 star books as they're just okay. i do enjoy venturing outside of my comfort zone with reading and have really enjoyed reading more memoirs.when i was overwhelmed and drained with the state of the world i really wanted to escape with books but struggled with concentration and enjoyment. re-reading twilight really helped me when i was in those dips. i think i'll need to find more low-key books that i can just listen to casually. while plotting all the events, characters and theories i had for the locked tomb was a wonderful experience and really enhanced my reading, i definitely couldn't do that for every book and it was quite mentally challenging.
