2024 Book challenge
Welcome back for yet another year! I’ve been doing this for 3 years now - since I’m always on Goodreads and every year you get to set your reading goal, I thought it would be fun to do something similar here! You can do whatever you want here, have fun with it - set your reading goal, your other goals, write down your tbr list, do little updates after every month and see your progress, which book you liked the most…
I’ll tag @Bookworms, if you guys are interested!

Reading goal for the year:
I don’t want to set a number goal, but I would like to just aim to keep reading. And keep reading from marginalised authors.
And to read more non-fiction.
I also want to think more about what I’m choosing to read, and build anticipation for my next books, so I think I will take inspiration from this thread (past and present) to set a priority tbr for each month. I don’t aim to read all of them, rather to start or continue at least one.
