I’m too volatile to commit to a number but I always have different goals for different months, so for July until December, my goal is to read 2 new releases each month, I want to do a thriller and a horror. My goal is to find new books I love and still leave room for backlists of my favorite authors. I love thrillers, but after you read 100, it’s like, I think I know where this is going … and I don’t like it. So, I hope that by December, reading the same month releases I can confirm I still love thrillers , or be ok with changing my taste. In my head, I love horror, not extreme horror, blood and body parts, but haunted places, unexplained things, but, I start a book and usually DNF because it doesn’t keep my attention. So, I’ll decide by the end of the year if horror is for me or not. My rule is, I can’t DNF the 2 new releases, so I can give them a fair chance and a fair evaluation at the end of the year. Then I can read whatever I want, but those 2 are must reads … wish me luck! Right now I’m reading We used to live here by Markus Kliewer ( debut novel I think) he started posting this story online, won the best horror on 2022, he just published the book and Netflix is going to release the movie. I’m 50% in and I can see how my interest changed in different parts of the book. I’m waiting on my book of the month I picked 2 other new releases I can’t wait to start, but reading backlist titles in between😂 You are doing amazing! Your best of the year will be amazing!!! ❤
😂 too volatile, you got me laughing! I had a set list at the beginning of the year, but I am always adding to my Goodreads. I am a big chicken but I do enjoy a mystery/thriller spooky story. If you like a haunted house & twisty story Slade House by David Mitchell is an interesting story. It gets a bit metaphysical. I feel you on DNFing, especially books I buy. Thats so cool living near the author. I have been curious about book of the month, wondering if its worth the money. Thank you so much for your encouragement! 😊
