Love this list and hearing your passion for reading!!

To comment on your goal #8: I am currently including Psalms in my daily bible study - I'm on 137 today; I've been reading one psalm per day, which is filled with so much wisdom, I want to re-read it after I finish it. I love immediately praying God's word back to Him.

Loved this one! Definitely on my list now to check out!

Omg I didn’t think to use one of my clear bowls for my brushes lol. Definitely doing that this weekend.

Loving your vlogs! Im bingeing! 🙌🏾 Btw, it’s been a few months but I think you asked on IG about The Perfect Child by Lucinda Berry. Sorry girl I just finished it last week plus the epilogue she wrote….mmmmm it gave lifetime movie predictability 🤣 so if you used to watch those movies you will easily know the trajectory. Some things I didn’t guess but not one I’d recommend unless you’re new to suspense/thriller.

Love the practical approach to goal setting for the year. My main goal is to stop chasing every book I hear about, but instead, log it and if I come back to it then I can get it from the library or buy it. I have too many books on my shelves that were purchased from one hyper excited review. 😂

Hey Joyce, Happy Saturday. I enjoyed learning more about your 2025 reading goals. 😊

I made 5 reading goals for myself this year…. We’ll see how it goes. Good luck to you

My goal is 70 books this year and for 25 of them to be physical books I already own. Well 23 physical and 2 ebooks I bought last year.

Loved this video❤ Please link the spiral Bible. I would love to incorporate it into my morning routine!

Enjoy your videos and spirit. For your journal you may have to tear out pages and tape into a new journal or you may can use a head band scrunchy 🤔☺️to wrap journal

This cup and cup holder are so cute lol! Your hair looks great Dahlinggg ❤ Christian Thriller 👀👀

First off, I just love you. Your spirit radiates through this screen OMG!!✨ Anyhoo… A book that came to mind for me to suggest is Kimberly Lawson-Roby’s called Sister Friends Forever. I saw it a while back on GR and thought it looked like a cute one (Christian). I love these goals… chile I need some goals in my life… help!!😂😂 Great video per usual 🩷🩷

I got a book I saw on another channel. It’s called Wild Hope by Donna Ashworth. I’m not a poetry type of person but I like her poetry. It’s what I call life poetry. I’ve only read a few poems while flipping through the book, so I know I will enjoy it.

I enjoy Goodreads too! I’ve been using it for a while. I’m reading “How to Tell The Truth” by Preston Perry and I recommend it for a Christian nonfiction!

Hi! Thanks for sharing your goals, some I defintely share. I am excited for the 2025 reading journey and look forward to your videos. I am also including more christian/bibical based books. I love the Psalms. My goal is to memorize more scriptures from Psalms. Have you read Red Tent? Its bibical fiction. Its one of my favorite books. BUT GUUUUURL....I am loving that donut cup holder!!!! LOL I will have to get me one.

So sorry about your grandmother 😢 sending prayers, love & comfort ! Also, the way you were discussing the mistress book in bed cracked me up! Reminds me of me and one of my friends who buddy read/ discuss books just like that! 😂

One of my main goals is to read at least five classics. Love that you’re excited about reading your bible. I fell off last year, but I’m determined to finish this year.

Great vlog girl! 🙌🏾💜

I def need to listen to the audiobook version of iron flame! I keep hearing how good it is.

Excited for your spiral Bible!! I plan to read through the entire Old Testament this year and have been wanting to purchase the spiral Bible. I’ve started reading and hopefully I can buy the spiral Bible soon.

Hi Joyce! I loved watching your video & I love your goals. You gave me an idea for a video to do 😊 Also, you got me intrigued with Christian thriller?!?! Who do you recommend? Any of them also in the romance/action/comedy aisle?

You have to read a few by Toni Shiloh! Amazing Christian author

Another major one was also to read more Christian books. I loved Francine Rivers so much that I can’t wait to read another one of her books

Love every single goal you mentioned. I have a few but nothing too crazy. Number one is read more of the books on my shelf before buying more. Hitting 1K on IG and 750 here on YT. Also a major one for me is to meet fellow book friends in real life🫶🏽☺️

Hot-glue it.

I would absolutely join your book club

Hello I'm new to your channel love your video my goal is to read proverb and I love the spiral Bible never thought of using one now I got to go buy one lol

Also, if you get a new journal and want to keep some of your spreads you can always tear them out, trim the edges, and use washi tape to add them to the new journal. I always use washi tape so I have the option to change my mind. :) 💖

I love your channel and great goals! I also read parenting books all the time but it never occurred to me to log them in Goodreads. Also, I need to read the books that are now on my TBR because of your channel!!!

Hey Joyce! Hailing from the Virgin Islands of the United States 🇻🇮 This is the first time seeing your video and I like it. The bonus was when you said you love getting people excited about reading and Jesus Christ. Bless your heart and please, don’t stop doing what the Lord has set you to do. Blessings be upon you always.

Great, very real goals. I hope to get back to reading my bible…and reading more when I really need to escape rather than choosing to just veg out - esp when I’ve a.ways been an avid reader. 😊

Great video! I have a goal to read 7 books in February, 1 Romance and 6 historical fiction or fiction by black authors.

Loving your reading goals! My favorite one has to be slowing down to enjoy the book! A Christian book I've started for the New Year is Lisa T., It's Not Supposed to Be This Way. It's soo good!

Hey Joyce (friend in my head 😂), you should start a virtual book club. I would be happy to be your first member. As none of my family or friends read. Ugh! All of the great stories I’ve read are just stuck in my head with no one to share them with. I hope you consider it. 🙏🏾

Love your channel! Seriously! Wish we were friends. 😂. Also, I really want to read the Bible in its entirety but it’s intimidating. I will definitely try your method of studying little bite sized pieces.

Hi!!!! Just found you this week and love ur channel already! I got into reading last year due to wanting to not think/ escape reality. Now I’m just addicted lol anyway I’d recommend colleen Coble for an awesome Christian author. Fragile designs was amazing.

Hi Joyce, I haven't read it yet but I do have the first book. Though I Stumble by Kim Cash Tate, it's the first of a four book series. I also plan to get that Christian thriller to see how it is

you got me to read a new auther ive never read or heard of before, "Twice on christmas" is the name of the book so thank you for that i enjoyed it very much

i want to read throne of glass series but im so afraid to because im not a fantasy girl but there something thats calling out to me dont know if its fomo ot what

I always look forward to your videos! I love your donut cup/saucer, so cute!

Great goals! When i got back into reading you were one of the first who made me get back into reading. Getting my friends in real life to read has been a challenge. Your coffee mug set is so cute!

You are such a joy to watch, Joyce. Thank you for sharing your reading goals for 2025. One of my big ones is to read slowly and intentionally, the way I used to. I started to read faster because of my excitement over new releases. But I just want to slow waaaay down this year and savour my reading experience 🤎

I don't know if it's on your radar, but Dee Henderson's O'Malley series is a christian based thriller that I started reading YEARS ago and I quite enjoyed it.

Love love love your goals and how realistic they are! One of my goals is to read more books that’ll help me as a business owner which includes re reading Profit First and implementing the tools by the end of March! We also need to buddy read again, it was so much fun! Thanks for sharing, this video was fun, relaxing, and inspiring! 🫶🏾

Hi, Joyce! So, I am no longer Christian but I read a Christian book series back when I was that I still come back to. It is really good, especially if you enjoy historical fiction. It's the Zion Covenant series. Vienna Prelude is the first book. I didn't realize but there are now nine books in the series. I think I only read the first three? They're by Brock and Bodie Thoene. The first one is set in WWII. I remember the characters having strong faith and moral compass, but it wasn't overly preachy. There is a love story involved. I think you'll like it.

I'm with you on this one. I've been DNF-ing more lately and while I still use Goodreads because it's synced with my Kindle, I've been loving Storygraph. It's really intuitive and they have the DNF option.

I would love to read at least one non fiction. I struggle so much to complete them I always end up not finishing them 😅

First of all sis, the hair is giving healthy! So pretty! I'm definitely into more Christian fiction books now...I really enjoyed Toni Shiloh and Vanessa Miller last year. Yassss to our favorite book being The Bible!!! We love you right back!
