As always, I don’t do numbers, I just read! So here is to a good year with many books! 📚📚📚📚📚📚

Name 5 books you didn’t get to in 2023 but want to make a priority in 2024.

🥰Mermaids Don’t Drown by various authors (this one I got in September from Netgalley and I just haven’t gotten to it)
🥰The Haunted Bookstore by Shinobumaru (this one I got in October-ish for my Spooktober but other books won over this one)
🥰Hometown Haunts by various authors (bought this in February 2023 for a steal, was planning on reading it first for my Summer TBR, then Spooktober, and now hopefully just somewhere this year)
🥰A Taste of Darkness by various authors (bought this one late October and haven’t yet gotten the chance to read it)
🥰The Voice Upstairs by Laura E. Weymouth (bought this one in October, it got in in November, but I just didn’t have time/mood for it)

Yes, they are all spooky books. I also got some non-spooky books, but at the moment my mood is clearly pointing to go for SPOOKY. So who knows I will get these read soon.

What genre do you want to read more of?

Mm, since I already read pretty everything (except for classics/crime but that is because I really don’t like those that much, well OK, hate for the first one), this is a tough one. I am really thinking. I think I would like to read more travel books. Yes, I already read quite a bit of travel fiction, but I want to read even more.

Name 3 non-book-related goals for 2023

🤩The chest of drawers. Last year I planned it, but then due to the addition of a family member, aka, Coco my puppy I just didn’t get to it. We got her in March and well, its been a rollercoaster, haha. This year I would love to see if I can get that chest of drawers in the living room prettied up. It really deserves a nice coat of either paint or something else. I want to make the handles better and prettier. Now they are just tiny nubs and at times it is not easy to hold/grab them. So I want to get some pretty handles (I have been eyeing a few at stores so time to get them).
🤩Go on more bike trips with my hubby! I read some books with some really really pretty routes throughout my country, so I would love to go for weekends and just have a great time. Since we have special things for our bikes Coco can come with us. I would need to buy something for my butt though, haha. Last time we went on a big trip, boy, my butt was just dead. I couldn’t even sit. Haha.
🤩Pretty much like last year again, I would love to just stress less. Relax more. Chill more. I am trying that with my blog this year. Again. I want to have 1-2 posts a day with maybe a few days with 3 or 4, instead of almost always having 3 posts and sometimes even 4 (I just have so much bookish love to share with you all). However, for now my schedule is getting fuller again even though I am not fully going at it. Haha. But I am trying. And I do love that so far it seems that even with 1 or 2 posts people still visit my blog, so yay! Let’s hope that keeps up as well.

What’s a book you’ve had forever that you still need to read?

This year I went through my shelves and got rid of several books. So now I don’t really have a book that was on there forever. Just from last year. Haha. I guess I will read one of those I mentioned up at the first question.

One word that you’re hoping 2023 will be.

Again, one word? I guess health. I would love to have better health. Not just with my eczema but also with other parts.
