2024 was a difficult year for the blog; consistency was not my friend. Keeping that in mind, I looked at what has worked well for me in the past, what hasn’t worked, and where I am with my life currently. All of these aspects have gone into creating some goals for this blog in 2025.

Focus on Bookish Content

At times I have gotten away from bookish content and posted everything but books. For 2025, I will be focusing predominantly on books again. The bulk of my posts will be spotlights and reviews, in addition to my recaps and new diversity series. There will still be a few mental health related posts still, as well as some political posts, but the main focus will be books.

Post Consistent Updates

Consistency has been an issue for me, so it’s important to me that I maintain some consistency with the blog this year. Every month, I will be posting a wrap up, challenge update, currently reading list, and my TBR stats. I’m starting with them as 4 separate posts, but may combine them down the road. I will also be posting a quarterly ARC update.

Regular Discussion Posts

I randomly chose the number 6, but the plan is to post 6 discussion posts each month. In the past I have fallen back on memes and linkups rather than coming up with my own content. Most of these discussions will be book related, though at least one each month will be mental health or politically related, the numbers may vary depending on how things are going.

Book Features

I am still participated in the HTP Books tours, and will continue to feature book spotlights with excerpts for these tours. In addition to these posts will be reviews. My goal is to post at least 5 (preferable 10 or more) reviews per month. I would like to participate in additional tours and unboxings down the road, but would need to be accepted into the programs first. I will also be starting a series focusing on authors who represent marginalized communities.

Behind the Scenes

I really need to clean up the behind the scenes of the blog. My SEO and insights are a mess, so I need to figure out how to fix them. I also need to work on more graphics for posts and my header. And maybe add some monetization (I need some form of income, and would like to turn my passion into an income source if possible), though my priority will always be on inclusive content.
