Happy New Year!

Do you have annual reading goals? And do you kep a record of your reading? I posted a little gallery of the books I finished reading in 2024. Micro.blog, the web service I use, is great for this. But it only works if I actually use it! Which is why only some of my reading was captured.

So my reading resolution for 2025 is to be more systematic in recording my reading.

In the past few years I’ve set a target. This has helped me to understand my reading cadence, but now I know it, I don’t really need a target any more. It’s not like there’s a big reward to be had for reading 1000 books a year!

How about you? How do you keep track? What works? And do you have any specific book goals for 2025?
