My goal in 2023 is to read 100 books. In the first quarter, I only read 15 books. I haven't been stressed about my reading but I still want to hurry up. Before we get into my future plans to do just that here are some stats on my first quarter reading:

As far as my reading goal of 100 books, page goal of 20,000 pages, and overall genre goals go... it's not been going great. I've had a lot going on at work that I can't focus on anything those days. I've got a lot to do and not that much time to do it. However, I've recently discovered Colby Sharp, a 5th-grade teacher in Michigan on Youtube. His love of reading and seeing what his kids read has reignited something in me so much so that I do want to continue my genre goals but I want to have a whole new goal added in there too.
I want to read 100 children's books.
I read about 100 or so picture books in general because of my job but I haven't given myself time to sit down with a lot of kids' books. I can't recommend a book at the drop of the hat and I will still have trouble unless I compile a list like I want to and have them all in a binder by category. Basically, I want to level up my librarian game.
So my blogging is going to still have adult books and my Disney Princess Controls my Life series, but I'll have short wrap-ups of kid lit and all the book reviews I am behind on. I'll have individual reviews when I can.
I'm excited to finally focus on children's literature once again (not just picture books) so I can be a recommending machine. I think my plan to read so many children's books will allow me to get that reading bug again and make reading adult books a more natural thing for me to do.
How has your reading been going so far this year?
Any plan changes or upcoming books you are excited about?
