Top 5 bookish resolutions for 2022
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday — with a brand new year of torture fun!! This week’s topic is top 5 bookish resolutions for 2022!! Yes, it’s a brand new year, and by gosh, we’re going to make the best of it!!
I now need a nap from all of this optimism. It’s very tiring.
But, before that, let’s talk about what bookish resolutions I am making in 2022.
If you missed the January-March 2022 topics please see this link. Top 5 Tuesday was created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, and is now being hosted here @ Meeghan reads.
top 5 bookish resolutions for 2022
goodreads goal
This is basically the same as last year, but I have set my Goodreads goal at 100 books, for the third (fourth?) year in a row. And gosh darn, I am going to do it again. Probably because I seem to enjoy torturing myself around September when I end up (disastrously) 14 books behind schedule.
Could I take it easy on myself and just set it to 50? Sure, but what’s the fun in that?!
bookish planner
Every year for the past four years I have bought the Little Inklings Designs Always Fully Booked planner. And every year I start of really well, adding in books that I read and filling it out. And then every year around July the entire concept falls over and it’s a pain to go back and fill it all out again in October. Because then I invariably end up not filling it out again. So, this year I am making it a resolution to keep it on hand and up to date.
twitter thread
Don’t laugh (please). I know I say I’m going to do this most years, and I do usually fail. But, I really like having a twitter thread of books that I read, because it reminds me to actually go ON twitter. Which I usually forget to do. Don’t get me wrong, not going on twitter is sometimes good for my mental health. But it’s also a platform that I should definitely do something with.
bookstagram
Keeping with that theme, I would like to also rejuvenate my bookstagram account. Social media has been HARD lately. But I’ve had so many plans and ideas for my account that it’s time to start making them actually happen.
blog consistently
Yes, I said it. I want to go back to blogging consistently. I’m certainly not saying I have to blog every day, but 2-3 times a week would be a vast improvement. Every month I start off strong, but by two weeks in, I’m back to only posting on Tuesday’s. I’ve been setting myself a little blogging schedule every month since November, but I need to make the time to stick to it. Which means less time doing meaningless things. Like watching TV shows that I’m not even enjoying. 2022 is the year to get my bookish social media back on track!
Please don’t forget to link to one of my posts (not my homepage or a category, as I won’t get the pingback), or comment your link below, and I will link back to all of your posts as soon as I can!!

I also managed to keep a bookstragram up and posting a few days for a few weeks- I just kept my personal one as I wasn’t using it anyway and started posting books on it XD
I actually was the same at first.. I NEVER used twitter, and now (though I couldnt say it’s my most used one- im still overly on tumblr) I check it a few more times per day!
Goodluck with your goals xx

Here’s mine! https://readingladies.com/2022/01/04/top-5-tuesday-top-5-bookish-resolutions-t5t/
meeghan
Thanks Carol! You’re on my list that I check every week now 😘
Carol
Wow! Pressure! I’m afraid that I’m intermittent at best! 😂
meeghan
It’s ok!! I just try to make sure I check everyone quickly to make sure I don’t miss posts 😂
Carol
That’s so kind of you! 🙌
Here-Be-Dragons
Good luck with all your goals! Social media is always SO HARD for me too. I end up engaging a lot for a few days and then dropping off into nowhere before repeating the cycle 😝
Also, how have I not seen these book planners before and how can I get one immediately 🤩
meeghan
I think they’re all sold out for this year, but Megan (who runs the company) does preorders in Oct/Nov each year. She also does a mini version that has all the bookish things and blank calendars if you’re interested in that. I think they went on sale a couple of days ago.
Books Less Travelled
Great list! I can relate to the social media ones! I’ve kept up with booksta mostly due to that being where I connect with authors most, but otherwise it’s been difficult to keep them updated!
meeghan
I am a big lurker on booksta, but I’m so bad at posting regularly. I always start off with good intentions, but then we end up in the “too difficult” basket…

All the best!! I wan to be consistent on my blog and bookstagram too!
meeghan
I have consistently not posted on bookstagram this year, so it’s working?! 🥲😂
peatlong
Great list. Really know the pain of falling behind on something you’d meant to do (I’m still very slowly updating Goodreads). Good luck with it 😀
meeghan
Thank you!! I’m already thinking about throwing out the Twitter one though 😅
peatlong
I mean, I’m fully behind this sort of amendment too!
Vonnie (@vonnie862)
Good luck with your goals! I plan to participating starting this Tuesday. 🙂
meeghan
Oh yay!! I’m looking forward to seeing your posts!! (But also, if life gets in the way, that’s totally fine 🥰)
thepunktheory
oh boy, the Twitter thread.
Guess who started one last year and never finished it lol
meeghan
Hahahaha!! Mine dropped off about 16 books in, and then I never looked at it again. I still haven’t started this year’s one. 😅
dbsguidetothegalaxy
Agree with everything 🙈 I set my goal for 50 books this year but secretly I want to get back to reading over 100 😭 I’m hoping the Backlist challenge helps!
meeghan
You went through the ringer last year!! I totally understand why you didn’t read as many books. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞
dbsguidetothegalaxy
Thank you! 😢 I have so many books planned for this year so I really hope everything goes well 😭
