    A very happy Christmas Kim. I like your idea of more considered and purposeful reading. Planning a personal library tour is a brilliant incentive for getting your shelves sorted.
    When I reread Romola it moved from least favourite Eliot to one I enjoyed most.

    Kim, this posting and the previous one have sound advice for readers. Again you are exemplifying good self-care for yourself and thus extending care to others.
    I shared my “goals” on Kelly’s Books I’m Not Reading. But I should have added that I don’t think of them as goals. I think of them as priorities and hopes. Priorities are more adaptable than goals; priorities can change to fit the unexpected situations and current needs of life. “Hopes” feels like desire without being driven. I also don’t have a TBR list because “to” has too much push in it. Instead, I use WTR for “want to read.”

    Merry Christmas! Sounds like a whole bunch of fun plans for 2025. I love randomly picking books (gets me around that avoidance factor). I too host loose book club/readalongs and sometimes we don't even read the same book just books with the same theme (this month was Christmas). It's fun, so I hope you enjoy yours.

    I’d like to join in Kim’s book club! Our reading taste seems to be similar enough that your choice could already be on my TBR. But we’re different enough that you always lead me to new books. Looks like Jess Kidd has a new book coming out in 2025 - the first book in a cozy mystery series. Not my favorite genre, but I’ll follow her anywhere!
