2024 Year-End Goals Recap

It's hard to believe, but 2024 is just about over!  So, how did we do on the goals we set back in January?

1. Read 75 books. I was able to read over 100 books!
2. Reread once a month.  100% completed!  I accomplished this by choosing a reread for my first book of each month.
3. Read at least six nonfiction books.  I ended up reading 16 nonfiction books this year, well above my goal!
4. Finish the Bridgerton series.  Goal completed!  I finished the last book in June.
5. Purge my shelves. I've donated over 76 books this year, plus a few more dropped off at Little Free Libraries.  My shelves are still full, but I'm making progress!

And here is how my sister did on her goals:

1. Read 275 books.  I had dropped this down to 250 during the year and I was able to meet it!  I’m being much more selective about my reads so I feel good about it. 
2. Track my reading contemporaneously. Done!  My spreadsheet is completely up to date and it is so interesting seeing the sources and format of my reading, as well as what genres I gravitate towards.
3. Binge author backlists via audio.  Done!  I have listened to multiple backlist titles from Christina Lauren, Katee Robert and Sierra Simone this year.  I never would have had time to physically read all of these so the audiobooks have been a lifesaver.
4. Listen to 5 audiobooks with my hubby.  Did not complete this one, but there ended up being two interesting developments this year. One was that I ended up listening to a few audiobooks with my daughter – she is 8 and we spend a lot of time in the car driving around to different activities.  One book was full of short stories about historical women and a couple others were Disney Audible Originals.  The second was that while I did not listen to many audiobooks with James, I did recommend quite a few physical books to him this year and he actually read them!  He even has first dibs on Onyx Storm when we get our copy in January.  

How did you do on your goals this year?
