1. Read more from my TBR pile
I signed up to the Mount TBR Challenge and, rather than attempt to climb this mountain entirely, I've singled out some 36 books which have been sitting on the shelf for too long.
2. Read 120 books
In 2017 I read 182 (surpassing my previous record of 181 in 2012). This year I plan to read 10 books per month as I'll be focusing more on non-fiction and the larger tomes in my TBR pile.
3. Read more non-fiction
I've got a bunch of non-fiction books sitting on my psychical shelves, kindle, and audible app that I want to read plus a few books that are due to be published later in the year which I've got my eye on.
Some non-fiction books I plan to read include:
4. Use the library more
I've already started taking advantage of the audiobooks available from my library. This year I plan to be more selective with my purchases and will only buy books that I really want (there's still a lot of these) so, library here I come for those books I want to read but not necessarily own.
5. Touched upon this in no.4 - Be more selective with my purchases
I want to limit those impulse purchases irrespective of price - buying a book doesn't buy the time to read it. Part of this also includes cutting books from my Goodreads and Book Depository Wishlists. Not sure how I will go with this one...
6. Don't be afraid to DNF
I rarely DNF a book but when I do it's a good feeling, like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I love reading and hate it when I get into a funk because of a bad book. Previously I've persevered, not this year. Life's too short for a bad book.
