"I read books, I don't do math." the most quotable line ever hehe. Love the stats & charts route of tracking your reading progress, it looks so cool displayed as such.
My local library has a subpar horror and fantasy selections or catalogue (both physical and ebook formats) so I'd like to checkout some bigger libraries this year and see what the selections are like.
Congrats on reaching your yearly goals! 🥳

I dig your reading vlogs, your wrap ups and local outing vlogs, all your videos are great.

Reading more for the year overall is a goal of mine - to try and get back to having better focus.

As far as personal goals, well, Ive already mentioned my reading goals, I want to overhaul my maligned and neglected car. But we'll see how that goes...have a good one Carol, happy reading!

Good luck with your goals. I am trying to focus more on series this year as well.

I wouldn't be so sure that the life of a stay at home mom would not be interesting to people in a vlog format. I would watch that. Creators always say "my life is not exciting" but people don't only watch youtube videos to see "exciting" stuff (which is subjective anyway- what a person thinks is exciting or not exciting). Many people watch youtube videos for stress reduction and vibes and relaxation, or to calm their nerves, or just because they like the creator's personality. So, I think a creator might be selling themselves short if they want to vlog but don't vlog/make content about their life because they don't think their life is "exciting". (Just my opinion. This is something I hear creators say a lot and these are just my thoughts on it.)

Kudos for destroying your reading goals last year, you were doing some serious reading. Like you, I want to read more classics this year; I've just started Ursula Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness. After that, I'm going to tackle Ulysses, Anna Karenina, The Brothers Kazaramov, and Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time. But, after I'm done with those, I'll be done for the year.
