My goals, from most priority to least priority:
> Read however, whenever, whatever
> Don't buy/get any physical books (exception is book swap for book club)
> Have LGBTQIA+ as my most read genre or at least in Top 3
> Maybe try some newish genres. Thinking of YA thrillers, poetry, asian translated books, female/male romance, mystery, short stories
Goals Progress January 2025
> Read however, whenever, whatever
This is going very well. As you can see on my Wrap Up page I had such a fantastic reading month in January that I had no disliked books or books I was disappointed in. Which is exactly what I want! I also read a lot of manga, because reading was a bit more difficult, which I'm glad I did, because I enjoyed that a lot too. Most reads were very lighthearted, which is exactly what I need right now. Definitely a succesfull month!

I got one book in January, but that was a gift for my birthday. So that is totally fine.

> Have LGBTQIA+ as my most read genre or at least in Top 3
As you can see in the stats below, I did manage to do this. I do want to try and make a bit more effort with it, so it isn't as close of a win.

I read one book in January for this specific goal. I did not have a number in mind of the amount I wanted to read for this challenge, but I think one is great. I want to at least do one for each genre throughout the whole year. More would be even better, but we shall see.
