Do You Set Reading Goals?

I was the kid who was excited when the teacher said to read quietly. It’s rarely that I don’t have a book or my Kindle library more than an arm’s length away.

I don’t usually do New Year’s Resolutions, but I do set a reading goal each year on Goodreads to track my history. It’s helpful, and it reminds me to leave a review for the authors. The graphic that Goodreads creates each December is great to see your progress and your stats. Here’s mine for 2024.

For writers, reading is important. It helps you learn with what’s happening in the genre you write and to stay in tune with who is publishing what. Reading is research.

It’s also a great way to support your fellow authors. Buy and share their books. Write a review. Ask the library to add the books to its collection.
