Recently I checked my monthly goals here and today, I want to set some more for September (yes, I know we’re halfway through the month, but better late than never I guess).
So every month I’ve been setting myself goals about reading diverse books, but this month I’d like to add in some blogging goals.
September Reading Goals:
- At least one book by a BAME author and/or contains BAME characters
- At least one book by an LGBT+ author or that contains LGBT+ themes
- At least one book containing themes about mental health issues/disabilities
- And the new addition for this month is to try to stick to my current system of choosing books.
Basically, I traded for a lovely Hamilton mug a couple of months ago and I write out all the titles of the books on my TBR shelf. Then I fold them and when it comes to choosing my next book, I randomly pick out a piece of paper and that’s the book I’ll be reading. So far it seems to be working, so I’ll try to stick to it.
I also want to add in some blogging goals.
September Blogging Goals:
- Post at least one more review by the end of the month
- Try to post at least once per week
- Try out some more tags or share a book haul
So, those are all my goals for September: now let’s see if I can actually stick to them!
What are your goals for September? Let me know in the comments down below.

Your choosing system sounds great! Do you get a redo if you’re really not in the mood for a particular book?

Yes, which is why I was trying to make sure I stick to it. I can always use the loophole of starting a book, then putting it on hold and selecting a new book. What’s your method for choosing your next read?

That’s a good plan, haha! I’m a total pantser – I just read whatever I feel like 🙂

That’s how I normally am, but I decided to challenge myself with this new system. So far, it seems to be working!

I need to start reading more diverse books but I’m a total mood reader and I’m lazy so I just pick out the nearest good book I can find! My blogging goal is also to post once a week! I mean it was twice a week but I kinda failed so…. hahahha Loved reading this! xx ❤️🦄🍍😀

I’m such a mood reader as well, so I just pick up a load of books from different genres from the library and see what I feel like. I feel like books should all be diverse, but I do seek some out (especially if they’re not as well known). Thanks so much for responding and I love your blog as well.

Good luck with your goals 🙂
I tried a tbr-jar style thing once and it tanked so bad, I’m such a mood reader!
And you got this, one extra review this month should be easy 🙂 But which book will you review?

That’s the big question. Possibly The Diviners series so far, or the Show Stopper series. The books I’ve got lined up could easily change all of that though.
