My Reading Goals
I’m hoping that putting my monthly reading goals up in a public place will help me stick with them. And it doesn’t hurt that I met them all this month – makes it much less embarrassing to put them in the same post as my reading log, anyway. As you can see by my list above, I tend to read a ton of YA fiction. To diversify what I’m reading, my goal is to read at least one book each month that meets each of the following categories. It’s fine if the same book counts for two categories. Let me know if you think there’s something I should add!
- Middle Grade
- Graphic Novel
- Non-fiction
- Adult fiction or non-fiction
- Fiction featuring a main character of color
- Fiction or non-fiction about Japan (This goal is just until my trip in August)
