Reviewing My 7 Book Reading Goals for 2020

November 24, 2020 By Ben McEvoy

As we near the end of a strange, tumultuous year, I’m looking back on the goals I set for my reading this time last year.

Did I hit them?

Did you hit your book reading goals?

I’ve put timestamps to the different goals below the video.

Reviewing My 7 Book Reading Goals for 2020

My reading goals:

  • 0:40 – read and review everything
  • 3:00 – have a literary excursion
  • 4:15 – more buddy reads
  • 5:43 – replace screen time with book time
  • 7:25 – pair language learning with reading
  • 8:40 – rereads galore
  • 9:55 – 4 big classics per season
