Happy New Years Eve everyone! This year has been incredible for Glossy Philosophy, my family, and myself. I truly appreciate everyone's support this year. Thank you!

Next year I will be continuing the book chats and I wanted to share my choices for the year in case you would like to read along with me. Someone asked me how I choose my books for the chats, and it's quite simple. I set the following reading goals to make sure I don't get stuck on one subject or one genre.

As many females authors or female lead characters as possible
At least one non fiction book
A Shakespeare play
A book on art or an artist
A book that I love
Something fun and unexpected
A classic or philosophy book

As you can see I don't like to plan out all my books completely because there has to be some wiggle room for discovery. Sometimes I get caught up in a series (Wolf Hall) and have to read everything about that time period and those people on top of the actual fictional stories. Sometimes, I just really like an author and the same thing happens. I've found since putting these few goals into practice I'm a much happier and interested reader. Sometimes I start books and don't finish them. I will not be sharing those books. So, to the best of my knowledge this is where I'm heading in 2023.
