The Bookish Resolution of 2023

Hey there, book lovers!

It’s a new year and that means a new bookish resolution! And, like the little OCD planner I am, I picked out my resolution back in November and even picked out the books for it. While last year was the year for Fantasy and Sci-Fi, this is the year for classics.

When it comes to the bookish resolution it’s not about setting a goal or challenge. Granted, it practically is that, but I approach it from a different angle. For me, it’s about opening up my reading sphere. I don’t have to do it. I’m fully aware I could just fall into the pit of my favorite genres and tropes and guilty pleasure, and don’t get me wrong, I do that. LOL. But, I enjoy opening up to other books I wouldn’t do willingly. It gives my brain some gain.

Now, I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t pick these books based on what I believe is a classic. So, you may not think some of these are classics or maybe they are and you didn’t realize that they passed on into the world of classics. Then again, what makes a classic is always up for debate. One of the main factors I know for sure is the book’s ability to withstand time. Outside of that, it’s always been a bit of a mystery to me. I just feel it.

Take a peek below to see what’s made the list! What are you reading this year?
