Your 2025 Bookish Bucket List: Goals for Readers and Collectors
Share
A new year isn’t just about setting goals for your fitness routine or finally organizing your junk drawer (ugh, I know). It’s also the perfect time to dream up your ultimate bookish bucket list! Whether you’re a reader, a collector, or both, here are some fun and achievable goals to make 2025 your most magical reading year yet.
1. Tackle Your TBR Pile
Let’s start with the obvious: that teetering stack of books you swore you’d get to last year. Create a plan to tackle your TBR, whether it’s aiming for one book a month or finally reading that one series everyone’s been yelling about (cough, cough Throne of Glass).
Product Highlight: Stay organized and motivated with my free Cozy Reading Journal! It’s cute, functional, and perfect for visually conquering your reading goals. [Download it here.]
2. Visit a Local Indie Bookstore
There’s nothing like wandering the aisles of a cozy, independent bookstore. Make it a point to discover new shops, support small businesses, and maybe even grab a signed copy of your next favorite read.
Product Highlight: Pair your bookstore adventures with my romantasy-inspired book bags—the perfect size for hauling your latest haul!
3. Start or Join a Book Club
Reading is even more fun when you can gush about it with friends. Whether it’s a formal book club or just a group chat where everyone yells about the latest romantasy releases, make 2025 the year you find your people.
Product Highlight: My bookish stickers make great gifts for your book club buddies. Bonus: they’re perfect for decorating your book journal!
4. Organize Your Bookshelves
Rearrange your shelves by color, genre, or vibes. Add fairy lights, plants, or cute trinkets to make your bookshelf not just storage but a centerpiece for your space.
