My Book List Goals for 2021

January 1, 2021 by Courtney Leave a Comment

Every year, I create a list of books that I would like to read in the coming year. It’s so much fun to be able to go back to this list when I’m stuck in a reading rut after finishing an excellent book! I often find inspiration for reading from this list that I published at the beginning of the new year.

I’ve recently been asking friends and readers for their book recommendations for this year and wow! You all have great ideas!

I always find new book titles to read throughout the year and I never fully complete this list of goals, but it’s a fun starting place for my year of reading.

With all of that said, here’s my list of book goals for 2021!

“The Classics I’ve Never Read” Book Goals

This category is a bit humbling if I’m being completely candid. To be frank, I know you will be shocked when I admit that I’ve never fully read anything by Jane Austen. I know. I know. Here we go.

  1. Emma by Jane Austen
  2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
  3. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
  4. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
  5. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
  6. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
  7. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Books of the Bible Goals

In 2020, I read Matthew as an entire book in a study on the She Reads Truth App. In 2021, I would like to read the other Gospels and a few other books of the Bible in their entirety. I plan to do these available study plans in the SheReadsTruth app.

  1. Mark
  2. Luke
  3. John
  4. Acts
  5. Romans
  6. 1&2 Corinthians
  7. Galatians
  8. Ephesians
  9. Hebrews
  10. James

I’ve set my book goal on Goodreads extra high this year, aspiring to read 100 books. I’ve never read more than 70 books in one year, but my husband gifted me with an audible subscription for Christmas and I think those 12 credits will give me a good jump on my literary ambitions! We will see how many books I can actually complete in a year while balancing motherhood and teaching elementary school. This will be a fun experiment!

May this year be our best year of reading yet, dear friends! May we find more comfort in books and less comfort in Supreme pizza and fruit slathered in Nutella. Maybe that’s just me?

Happy new year from my book list to yours!

Joyfully,

Courtney
