cheating at my reading goal
January 01st, 2022
----------------------------------------
A new year is here and a new reading goal is set. I'm sticking
with my goal of 100 books like the last few years. It's attainable
even if I hit a slump. Even so, to start my year off on a good
note I like to read easy, quick stuff. Last year I read like 10-15
books of this Witch P.I. series that's honestly pretty terrible,
but I just tear through it. It helps that the books are cozy as
hell and nothing serious is ever at stake more than a knitting
contest.
This year I was thinking about what series to binge to get ahead.
I'm just getting started on the Jill Kismet series (I have the
whole thing in an omnibus). I also have the Alex Verus series of
which I've read book one and will likely binge quickly. But
instead of either of those I realized that my Calibre library has
page numbers in it (because I'm diligent about good data). So...
I'm going to sort by shortest book and clean house on a bunch of
novellas I've been sitting on for years. I have about 20 books
under 50 pages! If I want to read a bunch of the Shadow stories
this year I could do my entire 100 and stay under 150 pages each.
Wild! Such cheating! Hahaha.
I'll mix it up soon enough and I don't stop at 100 books, so I'm
not really cheating anything. This is just a little mental trick
to help me feel like I'm well invested in reading for the year. My
own motivation wanes if I fall behind schedule and it becomes
increasingly hard to pick up my Kindle. It's best to stay well
ahead of goal.
Anyway, here I go!
