2022 Reading Goals

Hi everyone!
Welcome to Nox Reads, I’m Nox, and one of my goals for 2022 is to use my blog more!

I finally revamped my blog to make it easier for me to actually edit on WordPress, so I plan to be way more active on it. I have a lot of content-related goals for the year, but it wasn’t until I put this together that I realized how many challenges/buddy reads/clubs that I want to join. 2021 was an okay reading year for me, but I don’t know why it just doesn’t feel memorable to me. Even when making the list for my Best Books of 2021 video (coming out Saturday), I know that I enjoyed them, but I didn’t really remember most of them until I went through my Storygraph. Hopefully all of these challenges help fix that for 2022.

• Reading Goals
  • Read 122 books this year!
  • Read at least 24 nonfiction books.
  • Read at least one environmental/climate related book a month.
  • Get my Netgalley percentage up to at least 50%.
    
• Blogging Goals
  • Post at least twice a month.
  • Post at least one book review.
  • Get at least twelve followers.
    
• Channel Goals
  • Post at least twice a month.
  • Have at least one live a month.
  • Reach 300 subscribers by the end of the year.

Slightly related, but I’d really like to get to the point with my channel and blog where I feel comfortable pushing my Patreon and Ko-Fi more, especially after I move. I’m incredibly lucky to have been able to save for the move itself and have a bit of a security blanket, but being able to utilize Patreon and Ko-Fi would definitely help with that, as well as funds to make my content better.

I also wanted to participate in more book clubs and buddy reads! Here are the ones (other than Dethrone Buddy Read, which I co-run, and possibly another book club my friends and I might start):

• Only Good Book Club
• Bubble Club
• Feminist AF Book Club
• LatAm Lit Book Club
• Sorcery & Story

And of course, there are some overall year-long reading challenges and readathons I want to participate in.

• 2022 Books and Tea Reading Challenge
• Beat the Backlist 2022
• StoryGraph Reads the World 2022
• Book Riot’s 2022 Read Harder Challenge
• 2022 Reading Classic Books Challenge: Around the World Edition
• Read Around the World by passportwanderlust

• POPSUGAR Reading Challenge 2022
• 12 Books in 12 Months Recommended by 12 Friends

And Thursday’s post will talk more about Pondathon II, a year-long readathon hosted by The Quiet Pond! I can’t wait for y’all to meet my character Hope and her friend Doc, and it’s never too late to join the readathon! The side quests are amazing and I already love my garden!

With all of that said, let me know any goals you have for 2022 down below! It doesn’t have to be book-related. I’ll see you all Thursday!

Love,
Nox
