"In the woods, something moved: a long and ragged shape that flowed unnaturally from tree to tree. As if the shadows had heard me and had stirred at her name.

But surely that was only a trick of the light." p 65

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. 

This week's topic is: Top 7 Bookish Goals for 2024

*in no particular order
**I always suck at trying to pick 10 goals but I'm sure I'll find another 3 after reading a few other posts!

7. READ NEW-TO-ME AUTHORS--not necessarily debut ones but they count too!
6. LIMIT THE MULTIPLE COPIES I BUY--yeah, already off to a rocky start on that one...but we won't count Stephanie Garber for this one! With that in mind, I'm doing GREAT! Lol.
5. TRY TO BUY LESS BOOKS--always a hard one, but I have gotten choosier over what books I add to my TBR pile over the years!
4. START SOME COMPLETED SERIES ON MY TBR--I have quite a few finished series in my TBR that I keep meaning to read every year!
3. FINISH SOME SERIES--there are a few left hanging too!
2. READ MORE FROM MY TBR--doing good so far...but I'm only 3 books into the year
1. READ 50 BOOKS--the standard since I've found a job that actually requires me to work...which I do enjoy! Lol.
