2025 Reading Challenge discussion

This year I´m going back to my goal of 30. It´s achievable and feels good if I do up myself.

I haven´t really thought much of my reading goals and don´t really have challenges for myself. Here are some thoughts but they´re definitely not set in stone:

-Would be nice to finish Memory, Sorrow and Thorn by Tad Williams (in Finnish five three books left). /edit: chose to not complete this unless i just feel like it at the moment
-Read the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, see what I missed on as a kid (I did read the first one back then).

Again, I´m repeating the same thing I´ve said the last few years: I don´t wanna overwhelm myself and in the end wanna keep reading fun.

Wrap-up of the year:

I went in reading a lot but then just... stopped. Which is okay too, I'm glad to notice it doesn't bother me too much. Of course I would've liked to have read more, but I read when it felt good. This year I got into more non-fiction again, which I'm satisfied about, because even though I only "officially" count novels, I still did read books. I took a liking to listening to non-fiction, true crime and history, in my native language.

Next year I'm shooting for 15, which I will be posting about here.
