So it’s January 1 again, which means it’s my BLOGGIVERSARY!

Hard to believe that I’ve been chatting about books for 16 years on here. If you had told me then that I’d still be here in 2025 I would not have believed it. But I love connecting with readers and I love talking about books, so here I am!
Working full-time isn’t a great fit for maintaining an engaging blog, but my goal for 2025 is to keep reading and to keep sharing about what I’m reading. As always, I read for pleasure and escape and to relax, and I love to learn something new or sometimes be “a little scared” along the way. I carry a water bottle that has a sticker saying “the book was better” and my kindle has a sticker that says “emotional support kindle”. Those two things I hold as truths.
One reading goal for me this year is to meet more bloggers, readers, and authors “personally”, even if only through social media.
What are your reading goals this year? Whatever they are, I hope the path to fulfilling them is engaging and joyful! Happy Reading!!

I honestly don’t know how you do it, Beth. I consider myself an avid reader and I can’t keep up with you. But your commitment is our gain!
You are too kind!! ๐
That is quite an accomplishment on all those years! My blog is only 3 years old (also New Years Day is my blog anniversary each year) and I agree that it is hard to maintain with our crazy lives. But that just shows how important it is to us bloggers. I will add you to my blog roll. Congratulations and keep it going….great inspiration for those of us still new to it all.
Thank you so much! I will look for your blog. ๐
