Your goals for next year sound great! I really like that you’re going to prioritise the books you’re most interested in. I also pick out a bunch of books to read at the start of the month - I rarely complete them all but it’s so much fun spending time browsing my books.
I'm five books away from reaching my 100 books a year goal. The reading has been very slow for some reason this year, struggling to find the flow. But think I'll make it this year as well. Failing is not an option. 😇 Glad that I'm not in South Africa now cause I can't stand summer and you guys must remember to drink enough water. Here in Norway we walk like old people to not to fall on the icy roads.😆
I really hope you manage to reach your goal for the year, go for it! It is not only the summer heat but the high humidity that can be very unpleasant. Good luck walking those icy roads! 🙂
“Frankenstein to Frankenfine”. I love that! That’s brilliant! 😂 I get a crap ton of emails for books too. The trick is to be selective and only take on those you’re genuinely really excited to read. Ones you would have wanted to add to your TBR if you had ran across them anyways. Great goals, Cliff! Looking forward to following along in 2025.
Thank you! 🤣 Did you get the movie reference? I do want to start supporting self-published/Indie authors, thank you for the advise, I will keep that in mind. Hope you have an awesome 2025!
I’m so here for the “read at your own pace” energy that you’re giving here. I want to participate in all the readathons but they don’t always fit my mood so it’s a good idea to just read one or two things. I can’t wait to continue with the fright club in the new year!!
Thank you so much Lauren! I will always try and support readathons and my fellow booktubers, but going all in can be too much. Thank you so much for supporting Fright Club! I will continue to support your wonderful channel, even if I don't always comment. I hope you have a wonderful festive season. 🎄📚
I think your goals for next year sound great because you're planning on reading books that make you happy. I want everyone to be happy! I've never set a number goal because I don't want the pressure. This year I astounded myself by reading over 135 books with no intent. The only reason I think it happened is because we had record high temperatures for a very long time and nothing is better than being still with a good book in air conditioning.
Thank you so much! I definitely want to focus on reading for enjoyment next year. Wow, regardless of how it happened, reading 135 books is a fine achievement! Congratulations!
Great plans Cliff! I really admire you trying to keep variety in your pile of possibilities. I need to do more of that lol. More new authors is good as well.
Poor Layla. I bet she doesn’t like the heat with all that fur. Frankenfine 😂 I’m definitely here for quality over quantity. That’s my only goal for next year. I really like dark and grimdark fantasy. Weaveworld is definitely something I’d like to get to.
Hi Alicia, Layla does struggle with the heat. We are all grateful for the pool! Did you get the Frankenfine movie reference. 😂I definitely want to read for enjoyment next year and pick up more fantasy. I am really looking forward to re-reading Clive Barker in 2025.
I think you have a great set of goals. Mainly because you plan to read books you think you are going to like instead of reading books for various challenges
Great goals for the new year! I'm glad you will have a large focus on reading what makes you happy! I also would like to take more notes while reading, I meant to do that this year but let it slip 😅
Sounds like some healthy goals man. It’s only been a year or so since I last reread the tower so it’s fresh enough that I’ll be able to pitch in on the conversation without reading along. Great ambitions for 2025

Thank you so much! Agreed, I want to prioritize the books that make me happy.
I think you made some very sensible choices with these goals 👍
Thanks Mate! I certainly hope so.
I really would like to read Clive Barker again. I’ve never read Weaveworld!
Also, Roger says looking like a pasty zombie is something to aspire to.
Weaveworld is awesome! Tell Roger that even if I lose my pasty complexion, it is what's inside that truly counts! 😅 🧟
Some great plans you’ve got, I’m in the middle of Weaveworld right now and it’s going well 🤘
Thank you so much! Interested to here your thoughts on Weaveworld.

Great video buddy! +1 for quality > quantity. Something I need to learn someday 😂 Love that you’re working in more series next year!
Thanks my friend! I want to read lots of quality next year and finish more series. 😀
lol Nikhil. I literally just made a joke about your reading in the comments.
Best of luck on all your goals in 2025!! I hope you find some great new favorites and that the re-reads are as great as you remember!! :)
Thank you so much for the kind words. Hope you have a spectacular 2025 as well!

Thank you Chas! Variety is the spice of life lol. It's always great to discover new authors.
Great goals for 2025!!! I'm still working on my 2024 goals so I haven't even started thinking about 2025 yet 😅
Thank you so much Kris! Hope you have a great 2025 and happy holidays! 🎄

Thanks Stuart! I do want to mostly read books that make me happy next year.
Great goals for the new year! I'm glad you will have a large focus on reading what makes you happy! I also would like to take more notes while reading, I meant to do that this year but let it slip 😅
Thank you so much Angyl! I also wanted to take notes this year, hope I can rectify this in 2025! I wish you and yours a wonderful festive season! 🎄
8-9 books a month lol😅😂 Do i look like Nikhil?! I’m lucky to get through 2. I’m actually starting Nos4a2 today.
NOS4A2 is an excellent horror novel! Interested to hear your thoughts. Two books is great as long as you are reading lol!
You’ve got some solid plans. I reread Weaveworld a few years ago.
Thank you so much Greg! I adored Weaveworld as a young man, would be interested to see if it still holds up today!
Some great goals and cool plans! Dark Tower is ambitious but awesome! I’ll get to it one day but I don’t think I’m ready yet.
Thank you my friend! I cannot wait for a re-read of The Dark Tower! Wishing you and yours a wonderful festive season! 🎄📚
FrankenFINE! We have a lot of similar goals for next year.
Thanks Kritz! Do you recognize the movie reference?
@@CliffsDarkGems hahaa, no! I thought you made it up
@@Kritz_Reads Dodgeball. A stupid, but in my opinion hilarious, comedy. Definitely not for everyone.
Sounds like some healthy goals man. It’s only been a year or so since I last reread the tower so it’s fresh enough that I’ll be able to pitch in on the conversation without reading along. Great ambitions for 2025
Thanks mate! It will be great to chat with you about the Dark Tower books as I re-read them. I hope you also gave a great 2025!
@ you too man 🥳
Nice dad joke, lol.
Thanks Carl! Did you get the movie reference?
@@CliffsDarkGems Is it Dodgeball?
@@pleasereadyourbook Yes! 👍
@@CliffsDarkGems haha you're a man of taste and distinction
