2024 TBR

Ah, the TBR list - a list of all of our most well meaning intentions regarding reading goals. Remembering to read off of the TBR list and not read from the impulsive book haul over the weekend is a struggle. I am very guilty of knowing I have books at home, sitting happily in a TBR stack waiting to be opened and enjoyed and still finding myself at the checkout counter buying seven more books.

That being said, my reading goals for 2024 are ambitious and I have a lot of great authors on here that I am excited to dive into. I want to read more Chekhov so I have a collection of short stories to enjoy and I really want to dive into reading the rest of Ishiguro I haven’t read yet. Finishing his work is a big goal for me. Also, I’m getting back into fantasy so I am going to try out Brandon Sanderson and Robin Hobb, both for the first time.
