I’m not much for resolutions, but I have lots of hopes for the coming year. A whole lot of them involve the pandemic ending, but some of them are within my control.
Here are ten of the more bookish hopes I have for this year:
- All of my local indie bookstores stay in business. (D.C. is home to one of the best indie book scenes in the country.)
- All of your local indie bookstores stay in business. (I want them to be there for you. And I want to come visit them all once the pandemic ends.)
- I can browse in the library again. (I do appreciate that they let me pick up reserved books, though.)
- I can attend author events in person. (I’m grateful for all the video events, but they aren’t the same.)
- I read through some of my personal stash of books. (I think only 20% of the books I read last year were from my collection, which is less than I acquired.)
- I read a book a week. (It’s less about the number specifically, and more that it means I’m prioritizing something that brings me joy.)
- I publish my top ten reads from 2020 (and 2019 ::sigh::).
- I do a better job blogging about the books I read. (I like having written the reviews; I’m just awful at actually doing the writing.)
- I read more poetry. (I love buying books of poetry, but am not great at finishing them, which means they never move off my to-be-read and currently-reading lists.)
- If I get stuck in another reading slump this year that I’m faster at moving to re-reading something I love. (Harry Potter, Thursday Next, Jane Austen, Louisa May Alcott, and L.M. Montgomery could all help lift me out of the bookish doldrums.)
Huh. That ended up being easier than I expected. How about you? Do you have bookish hopes or goals for 2021?
