It's a new year and that means it's time to update the list! It's starting to get a little bit out of control (although the real possibility pile is far more chaotic and out of control because I'm slowly adding books from Netgalley here, but they already exist as obligations). In spite of the fact that the list is growing with each month, I'd say I'm doing fairly well at sticking to my list, with the outliers typically being audiobooks or library books. That's not nothing. But let's see what I'm hoping to do in this first month of 2025.

In the new year, I'm hoping to read an average of 15 books a month, which gives me my 9 book club books each month (although there's some overlap between two of my book clubs, including some books I've read recently enough I don't even feel the need to re-read to be prepared for the meetings), and then 6 other books, that will ideally come from Netgalley. If I can just stop getting new books on Netgalley, I could make some real good progress over there. I won't stop getting new books from Netgalley, but it would be on if I did. In January, I'd also really like to get in the habit of posting two reviews per day (one adult book, one children's book) so I can really start knocking out my review backlog. And I need to figure out how to also participate in my weekly memes (to include visiting other blogs) on a regular basis. It's kind of a lot, but I have faith I can accomplish some of it. Oh, and I'm going to try to knock down my currently reading list some, so hopefully I'll have that a little more under control by the end of the month. - Katie
