We all have goals as it’s a new year and I’m sharing my Top Ten Bookish Goals for 2023 below.
I have taken some time to really think about what my bookish hopes and dreams are for this year, and I believe I have created 10 Goals I can achieve.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl where list lovers, book lovers, and everyone can share their top ten posts using the topic of that week! Check out the list here: thatartsyreadergirl.com/top-ten-tuesday
When setting goals I always try to use the objective of the SMART goal method, so I know I can work towards it and break down the steps to being able to achieve and complete it as then it makes me more confident to set myself more.

If you’re not aware of the SMART goals method I made this little image below explaining what I mean by it and also you can use it too. This is something I’ve learned through many courses and more recently my Digitial Marketing course for setting business goals for marketing strategies although it’s great for both personal and work goals.
When thinking of something I want to eventually achieve this means I try to make sure it is S – SPECIFIC, M – MEASURABLE, A – ACHIEVABLE, R – REALISTIC, and T – TIMELY as I can really focus then on what I want and reaching my goals without it becoming overwhelming.

Do you have any goals you would like to achieve in 2023? or tips for me on achieving mine?
I love these goals, I think they’re perfectly attainable and wish you the best of luck in completing them.
I, too, am also a redhead so extra cheer from me. If you started up a Podcast would it be about books/writing or would you introduce some other things?
Have a great week.
Great goals and well thought out. Good Luck.
Love this post.
Some of my bookish goals are to read 50 books, start an online book club, and begin writing a book.
Great goals and I hope you will achieve them all. I would love to listen to audiobook again this year.
Thanks so much! I’ve never listened to an audiobook but definitely wanted to.
SMART really does break it down well, doesn’t it? All of your goals are clear, achievable, etc. Good luck with them!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Thank you so much!
Oh, I’d love to be able to attend book club meetings again, but that means I gotta’ find a book club that meets and has openings and the right vibe for me. Have a wonderful week.
Finding the right bookclub can be so stressful, I really want to create one that’s online for readers to enjoy connecting with each other. Thanks, I hope you do to.
I just followed you on instagram, so that’s it, one less follower (my account is themoonphoenix) Great goals, I hope you achieve them
Thank you so much! I appreciate it lots. I will definitely check out your Insta! Thanks, so do I.
I’d forgotten about the SMART goal idea. It’s such a great way to focus goals. I hope you reach all of yours this year.
