2025 Reading Goals

The beautiful library at The Biltmore House in Asheville and total LIBRARY GOALS

I have decided to set a small reading goal this year, because I also have some professional, personal, and fitness goals that I want to meet, and Who Has Time??? I am giving myself the goal of 15 books, including finally committing to and finishing Lonesome Dove. I don’t know why I am having such a hard time finding the motivation to read that book. When I finish a book, I’ll post it here with a brief rating out of 5 STARS.

So far, I have finished 2 books already. Shine On, Bright and Dangerous Object by Laurie Colwin and The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel. She is one of my favorite authors. I highly recommend Station Eleven, which I read last summer.

Four Stars: It was good. I love her work
3 Stars: It was ok
