What books do you want to read?
The better question is what do I not want to read ❓❓❓❓❔❔❔
As a life long reader, my mother put books 📚📚📚 in my crib as a baby and I was hooked. From picture books and I remember how sad I was when my books no longer had pictures to worded books I devour books. I am whittling away at my netgalley books . My backlist goes back to 2021 and I joined in 2017. My goal last year was to read all my 2021 books but failed. Those newer books kind of caught my attention instead, sigh. I’ll attempt this year to do it. I read a lot of genres but have no interest in sci fi. I did say that about fantasy as well but did find a few of those I enjoyed. I also have physical books on my library shelf at home. I have a lovely library in my home but have too many netgalley books to properly utilize it. Sadly those books can just sit there but netgalley books, they kind of want you to read them.
I also do blog tours and work with multiple book tour groups. I’ve been cutting back on signing up for those recently as well this year. There’s a lot of pressure reading for blog tours and posting. I want to do more reading of books of my choosing , not having to read a certain book by a certain day and post on a certain dsy. I enjoy most of the blog tour books I read but it can be draining. For blog tours you usually sign up for them several months in advance but at times you don’t get the book right away and more than once I’ve found myself reading the book for it the day /night before I have to post. My resolution this year is more relaxation reading of my choice when I want to read it.
To sum it up, I want to read what I want when I want and I don’t think that’s too much to ask. And I want my cats right there with me while I’m reading.📚😻🐾❤️📚
Thanks for stopping in today 😃

“The better question is what do I not want to read” Ideally there’d be enough time to read everything 😆

I alternate the ‘have tos’ (book club, reviews) with the ‘want tos’. The next book for the book club is James.

It can get really stressful so for my peace of mind I’ve cut back. On my own timeline is what’s best for me. Best of luck to you as well.
