Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. This meme was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!In no particular order.
This Week's Theme:
Top Ten Bookish Goals for 2025

- I subscribed to the Owlcrate Romantasy quarterly subscription and I want to try and read those books within a month of receiving them.
Here's my 2025 Storygraph Challenges. I'd love your suggestions!
- Onboarding Challenge
- This is mostly based off of the Storygraph algorithms, so no suggestions needed!

- E
- J
- X

- So looking for POVs of animals, objects, robots/androids
- Mass Market Paperback
- Memoir/Biography You Know Nothing About
- Set in a Dystopian World
- I haven't read The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes yet, so maybe that and Sunrise on the Reaping
- Blurbed by an author you love
- Includes a recipe
- Book by a sophmore author of color
- Snake on the cover
- The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and Sunrise on the Reaping both meet this one as well
- Set in a rural setting
- I have Tough Luck by Sandra Dallas and The Boxcar Librarian by Brianna Labuskes for review which I believe would both meet this one.
- Title includes song or movie title
- I got options: Hidden by Sophie Jordan, Fireborne by Rosaria Munda, Tough Luck by Sandra Dallas, Gravity and Free Fall by Sara Cate, Fearless by Lauren Roberts
- Set in the decade you were born (1990s for me)
- I just found Girl at War by Sara Novic which sounds so interesting.
- Fantasy Fangirls Book Club (this is ongoing with no end date)
- Onyx Storm (releases in January)
- Burn of the Everflame (unknown release date)
- Letters of Enchantment duology
- Saga of the Unfated series (sequel comes out in February)
- The Ballad of Falling Dragons (releases in October)
- Assistant to the Villain series (third book comes out in August)
- The Witch Walker series
- War of Lost Hearts trilogy
- plussss all the monthly book club selections this year!
- Tackle Your Physical TBR
- I started a challenge to encourage me to read more of my physical books because I have so many I haven't read!
Stay on top of my NetGalley reads is one I can really identify with. I suspect all of us who use NetGalley struggle with that!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals! I wish I had suggestions for you, but maybe other commenters will have better luck with that. :)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea if that last comment went through.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say good luck with your goals and that I wish I had good suggestions for your various challenges. Hopefully, other visitors can help there. :)
Great list! I hope you get to go to more bookish events. There aren't a ton where I live, but I'm maybe an hour from a bigger city that hosts lots. It would be great to get over there a few times this year for bookish things. :) Here is my TTT list of goals.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals this year!
ReplyDeleteA book I read couple of years ago that has mostly non-human POV is Peristroika in Paris by Jane Smiley. The majority of the book is told through a racehorse and a dog.

I would love to go to more bookish events! I used to go all the time, but then life happened and I stopped looking for them. I also desperately need to get my NetGalley ratio under control. Good luck with these!
