You’re so right about priorities shifting in part because of the pandemic. Even since I wrote this poat, I’m finding that my priorities have shifted. I’ve long been considering a mini-home makeover including a kitchen remodel and just decided to go for it. It’s a lot of work and though it’s not cutting much into my reading time, it has cut into my blogging time. We’ve all just need to do what works for the moment!

I think the pandemic has pushed us to think about what is really important and to be willing to let go of the unimportant things.
My plan this year is to cut back on reading challenges so I can read more of what I want rather than feeling I’m reading just to complete a challenge

I’ve been messing around with Ribbet, which works pretty well, but I’m still learning the ins and outs of it.

I think it’s important for our sanity to know what to let go of and when to say “I need a break.”

I’m nervous about my Goodreads goal and know I’ll fall behind this winter/spring, but I can usually recover some in the summer months. I know your goal is a heck of a lot higher than mine!

I’m sort of relearning how to do charts and graphs this year. For years I’ve used Old PicMonkey, but was forced to switch to New PicMonkey on 1/1. I sometimes use Canva, too.

With a full-time job and COVID? That’s amazing. I think you and I switched with nonfiction- I read 11% 2019, but 20% in 2020.

Like you, I’m re-evaluating what I do and making “less” and “acceptance” words for 2021. I don’t see IG becoming more important to me, I just love words and long form reviews too much. But, I’m going to accept that it may mean I don’t have growth this year.

I also need to re-evaluate my GR goal. I go higher every year, but last year I found myself passing on books because they would take too long. Not good! In fact, I’m heading over there now to cut 15 books off my goal. Thank you!

I love your charts/graphs and am always so impressed with your graphics/collages on IG. I’m trying to learn how to make some myself!

Good luck on reaching that goal, Melinda!

And I think that’s a great goal for everyone.

Happy New Year to you, too. Susan.
