Since I buy a lot of books during the year, I think my goal is to read as many as I can so they don’t bury me alive if I have a bookalanche

You read a handful of fat classics this year. Well done!

It still sounds like you read some great books over this year! I am reading A Christmas Carol with my family over Christmas time and I am really enjoying it. I haven't read any books by Charles Dickens yet, so it is been interesting to try one of his works! 😊

I do enjoy creating a list every quarter with the books I either have lying around or that I really want to read. I find this inspires me to look at them and read them! I do enjoy keeping track of the date I started a book and the date I finished it too 😂 It helps me stay on track!

I write yearly reading goals but they’re more of a guideline rather than a rule. I love it when an unplanned book surprises me.

I wish you read more if your whole theme of Substack has a title Joyie Talks Books. But everybody, I think, will value your openness about your attempts at reading.
