In this video I’m sitting down to map out my 2026 reading goals and the “book low buy” rules I’m actually willing to stick to. It’s very much a cozy, realistic reset—less about forcing a giant number and more about building habits that make reading feel fun again (and not like a performance). I talk through how I’m thinking about my TBR, what I want my reading year to feel like, and the kind of boundaries I need around book buying so my shelves (and my brain) don’t get overwhelmed. I also share the mindset piece: low buy isn’t meant to be punishment—it’s a way to be more intentional. I’m using my usual tracking systems (hello Goodreads + my digital journaling life) to keep myself honest, and I’m focusing on reading what I already own, being pickier about what comes in, and making space for the books I’m genuinely excited about. If you’re trying to set reading goals that don’t burn you out and you want a gentle framework for buying fewer books without feeling deprived, this one’s for you.
