Japanese:
My goals for 2024 were:
- read at least 12 books from my physical TBR
- read as many first volumes as possible (to decide, if series is worth continuing)
- only participate in bookclubs where I own the book ( Try again. Fail again. Fail better.)
- complete my Bingo card
- stretch goal 1: finish (on average) at least 1 book per week
- stretch goal 2: read daily
And I think I failed every single one of these goals. I am very good at this, aren’t I?
In theory, there is still time to catch up with some of these, but in reality, my schedule is full.
Glancing at my stats, I think I ended up listening to more audiobooks than actually reading books. I really need to put my focus back on reading with my eyes. My listening is slowly outpacing my other skills.
My goals going into 2025
- Read 12 books from my physical TBR (I am not giving up… I will reduce my physical TBR… someday…)
- only participate in bookclubs where I already own the book (This year, for sure, I will make it…
)
- Prioritize books where I also have the audiobook (It gives me a speed boost
)
- Restart dedicated kanji study (i.e. work through Kanji in Context & some handwriting practice)
- Work through 1 textbook
- Stretch goal: Read daily
- Stretch goal: Listen daily
