Bookish Goals 2022


 These were my goals for 2022.  Did I accomplish any of them, can I sneak in a win in the final stretch of the year?

22 authors:  I had a list of 22 authors I wanted to try, or read more from. If you count the two I dnf'd , I checkmarked off 11, and one is on my December tbr.  12/22  Meh.

More audiobooks.  2021 was the year of audiobooks, so I thought why not see if I could beat the number.  I did not.  Right now I'm at 6, with one in progress.  I keep checking them out, but not listening to them.  I also have been walking outside and not on the treadmill which doesn't help.

More non-fiction than 2021.  This one I could still accomplish.  I'm at 14/15.

Read 10 BOTM books.  7/10.  Participating in Ketchup-a-thon helped here.  

Watch 10 adaptations.  The plan was to read a book and then watch the associated adaptation (if one existed.)  Giant fail.  3/10.  Which annoys me, because I was excited about this goal... Part of the problem is even though we have Prime, Hulu, Netflix, Disney + and now Showtime the things I want to watch aren't available [eye roll emoji goes here].  

Read/reread the Hitchhiker's Guide series.  1/5  I have no explanation here.  I read the first book.  I checked out the second book on audio multiple times (and kept having to go back on the waitlist) and made it about 30%.   I left my 2023 goals very non-specific because I don't want to put something on there and then not be in the mood to read it as was the case here :(  

And those were the easy peasy lemon squeezy goals I thought I'd easily knock out in 2022.  Ha ha ha. Ha.   

I also unofficially wanted to read Jane Eyre, and have yet to do it.  What is wrong with me?

Goals are just for fun, to guide my reading  a little.  I'm not going to jump off a cliff or anything for not accomplishing them. Maybe my goal setting needs a tune up, though...
