2021 Mid-Year Reading Goals


I came up with this idea while I was looking around (as I've been doing lately) for blog post ideas. A post idea given by Vivatramp's 100 Book Blog Post Ideas post was to set some reading goals. I decided to put my own twist on it by making a Mid-Year Reading Goals post.

Everyone creates new reading goals at the end of one year and going into the new year. It could be the Goodreads reading challenge, reading more new authors, or reading more from authors you love. I thought it would be fun to do a mid-year reading goals post so that I could lay out what I wanted to accomplish within the last half of the year, at least where it concerns my reading. So let's get into my 2021 Mid-Year Reading Goals!


Goal 1: Try to keep my currently reading pile at no more than 4 books, unless it's for university.
I'm one of those people who, once I'm reading at least 3 books, I'll just keep piling books onto my currently reading pile. For the rest of the year, I really want to keep an eye on how many books I'm currently reading. I tend to hit a reading slump if I'm reading too many books at once without pacing myself.

Goal 2: Re-read books I've been wanting to re-read for a while.
I have always been open to re-reading books, but I don't act upon it often. There have been a few books where, when looking at them, I've thought, "I really need to re-read that." But, even if I think that, I just move onto a book I haven't read. Which is fine, but I love re-reading books.

Goal 3: Borrow more books from Libby, but keep the number of books I'm borrowing at one time low.
I use Libby more than I use Overdrive, mainly because I find it a bit easier to use. But I would love to use Libby more often. I feel, though, that I need to try harder to keep the number of books I'm borrowing low so that I'm not stressed to return so many books at one time.

Goal 4: Use ebooks and audiobooks more often.
Similarly with re-reading books, I'm always open to using ebooks and audiobooks. And by using Libby, I have been using more ebooks. (I haven't tried using any of Libby's audiobooks yet.) However, I want to try buying more ebooks and audiobooks so that I'm not cramming books into my one bookshelf.
