2022 Reading Goals

14/01/2022, CelineNyx, Feature , 0

Long time no see, sweet friends! I haven’t blogged on Nyx Book Reviews in years. After six years of book blogging I found myself kind of… done? In the meantime I’ve moved countries, finished some degrees and am still in the process of my final one (a doctorate), and did a whole lot of reading that this blog will never see.

I’ve recently really gotten into reading again after dipping in and out of reading for ages, and I found myself wanting to structure my reading somewhat again! I used to really enjoy the reading challenges of the 2010s, so I’m bringing some of that energy into 2022. After such a shapeless year that was 2021 I’m honestly just looking forward to crossing some things of lists and feel productive! At the same time I want to make a good dent into my physical TBR, and perhaps get rid of some books that I don’t think I’ll reread in the future.

So I made myself a bunch of prompts targeting various parts of my reading! Will I finish them all this year? Probably not! Though I will happily use books for multiple categories (a non-fiction audiobook would count in two categories, for example), it’s still a lot of reading. But regardless of that, it’ll be fun to see how far I can get!
