My 2025 Reading Resolutions

Around this time last year, for the first time in a while, I had a few reading resolutions I wanted to try out in 2024. I wanted to record more of what I was reading in Goodreads (check). I wanted to read more middle grade (sadly, no check), and I wanted to set aside more phone-free reading time (half check).
Fresh off those mixed results, what are my reading resolutions for 2025?

1. Keep Keeping Track
I was using Goodreads to mark which books I had read, and I want to keep the good times rolling into this new year.
2. More Early Chapter Books
It’s a category that’s underserved, but is hugely important in my K-3rd grade school library. I want to keep an eye out for more good books in this zone.
What are your 2025 reading resolutions?
