This week’s Top Ten Tuesday from That Artsy Reader Girl invites us to check in with our 2023 bookish goals and see how we’re doing. I’m not optimistic:

1. Read 52 books. (I’m actually on track to hit this number for the first time in years.)
2. Read more of my own collection. (I’m at five, but have a whole pile of personal books up here in Connecticut with me.)
3. Listen to more audiobooks [12]. (I’m at nine, and have several in progress, so this seems doable.)
4. Read more diversely [1/3]. (I’m closer to a quarter, but it’s still possible.)
5. Read more nonfiction [5]. (I’m nearly done with my fourth, so if I get that Grann book when I return to D.C., it’s possible.)
6. Read more internationally. (Japanese manga has been my friend this year. I’ve read three so far.)
7. Read more poetry. (I’ve bought more poetry books, but haven’t actually finished one this year. Time to work on this!)
8. Read at least two classics. (Failing at this one utterly so far.)
9. Put a book in every bag I own and read them instead of playing on my phone while I’m out. (Often true.)
10. Actually review everything I finish. (Have I reviewed anything this year?)

Huh. Turns out I was doing better than I thought. Only three of these are utter failures so far, and while I probably won’t get all the book reviews for the year in, the other two are possibilities.

How are your bookish goals going this year?
