Seems like Wednesdays always creep up on me. I guess it doesn't mean much for me since I often work weekends.
Today's Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is all about genres we want to read more of this year. Now, in the past, I would set myself a goal of reading more in a genre I don't typically read: sci-fi, fantasy, dystopian, and steampunk. This year, I tossed that out the window. It didn't even make the bookish promises list.
Why?
Because I want to read what I want to read, which boils down to mysteries and seasonal romances. That doesn't mean other genres won't catch my eye or that what I agree to review will be in those genres, but as part of seeking balance and setting boundaries, I'm being more intentional with everything, including reading.
What is a genre you want to read more of this year?

That's such a good point, Cheryl... why do we even think like this? Like we should read more of this or that? We like what we like. I think I'll take a leaf outta your book, if you'll pardon the pun 🫠😂
Good answer, Cheryl.
I could see making a goal for myself to read more of a genre I enjoy but don't prioritize, but NOT making myself read a genre I'm not drawn to at all. The one time I tried a steampunk novel it was a slog!
YES!!!: I want to read what I want to read
This is actually what I do even if I think I'm being deliberate in my picking - I still end up reading what I wanted to read all along.
