I have always thought of myself as a reader, but I realized in 2020 that I didn't actually read that much anymore. Maybe it was because of work or watching a lot of TV, or maybe because of my time wasting habits of scrolling through various social media feeds, or maybe it was just because I didn't make it a priority in my life. On December 31, 2020, I made a New Year's resolution to spend less time on social media and more time reading in 2021. I made a spreadsheet and tracked every book I read with a goal to just read as much as I could. By the end of 2021 I had read 17 short stories and 118 books (31 physical books, 85 audiobooks, and 2 switching back and forth!). This year I'm doing it again and in January I read 4 short stories and 24 books (9 physical books and 15 audiobooks). In this session I will talk about how I make reading a priority and how I use reading challenges to keep me excited about what to pull out of my TBR (to be read list/pile) next.
