In Search of Lost Time | Marcel Proust

Beyond buying fewer books and reading what I already own, my main #readinggoal for 2023 is to tackle Proust's masterpiece. I doubt I'll make it through all 6 volumes but maybe halfway? But we'll see.
I turn 50 in 2023 so I plan to lean into "f*@k it, I'm 50" energy whenever I need to. If that includes giving up on Proust, so be it. ?

TheBookHippie Oh 50 is fun! I am planning this read for next year! I started once but need to start and finish!!! Happy 50th! The IDGAF is a fun part of aging. 🤫😂🙃 1mo

TheBookHippie I mean 2024🙃😅😵‍💫 1mo

xicanti Good luck! This is my project book for 2023, too. 1mo

Centique Happy 50th for 2023, 50 is great and that energy is real! I got through Book 1 and enjoyed it - but I switched to audio for a while as I seemed to take it in better, the long descriptions felt easier to follow that way for me. It was a special book for sure. 1mo

Ruthiella Good luck! This series is on my book bucket list. 😃 1mo

squirrelbrain I bought the first book in a used bookstore this summer. I should join you in your challenge as it‘s my 50th in 2023 too, but I think I‘m already over-committed to challenges. 🤔 1mo

sarahbarnes I love it!! I only made it halfway through the first book last year. Maybe I‘ll join you in 2023! They‘re all sitting on my shelf after all. 😂 1mo

jlhammar Wow, good luck! 1mo

LeahBergen I read and liked the first volume but that‘s as far as I‘ve made it so far 😆 1mo

batsy Good luck! Excellent reading plan and turning 50 vibes 👌🏾 1mo

merelybookish @TheBookHippie Thanks! And it does feel like one of the perks. 😉 1mo

merelybookish @xicanti Oh good! Keep me posted! Do you have a plan or playing it by ear? I ask because I have no plan yet.... 1mo

merelybookish @Centique Thanks! And I may take that advice. I find it's helpful to have both audio & print for chunksters. 1mo

merelybookish @Ruthiella Thanks! I was inspired by @HardcoverHearts She did a good book tube video on it. 1mo

merelybookish @squirrelbrain Well let me know if you change your mind! And cheers to turning 50 as well. 😬😀 #mixedfeelings 1mo

merelybookish @sarahbarnes Please do! 😀 Not sure how far I'll get! 1mo

merelybookish @jlhammar Thanks! I'll probably need it. 1mo

merelybookish @LeahBergen I think I read volume 1 back in my 20s. Hoping it resonates more now that I've achieved some wisdom.🤪 1mo

merelybookish @batsy We shall see. My new vibes may mean the end of all challenges! 😆 1mo

HardcoverHearts One option that is available if you hit a particular rough patch would be to switch to audiobook. Then when you are back into the story, go back to print. (Or not😉). I‘m so delighted that my video may have helped encourage you! 1mo

xicanti @merelybookish I have a very complex plan: I‘m gonna start at the beginning and read some every day until it‘s over or I‘m super bored. I may come up with something more concrete once I‘ve got the first volume in hand. Right now, it‘s sat on the holds shelf and I won‘t get to the library until Tuesday. 1mo

merelybookish @xicanti Haha. I may adopt a similarly complex plan. 😉 1mo

merelybookish @HardcoverHearts Thanks for the suggestion and the inspiration! 1mo

Reading List Journal - ( Book Review Journal , Review Books Read Diary , Notebook for Reading Lovers , Reading Log ) | Fancy Journals

Excited to get filling this book journal with completed books of 2023!
I need something to motivate me sometimes and if I work towards a goal it helps. I used to set my reading goals to 50 books a year but I never met that goal so I changed it to 30 and then 20 and this year I‘ve only made it to 11/20 books 😂😅 but for 2023 I‘ve raised the bar back to 50 since finding #booktok and multiple apps to record stats. I love stats!!! #readinggoal #book

I reached my 2022 reading challenge! I set it high because I listen to a ton of audiobooks, read picture books, count the comic issues and magazines I read, and read a ton of graphic novels and manga. If I were to only count print/eBook novels, I would probably only set my goal at 5 or something because I'm a slow reader. #ReadingGoal #ReadingChallenge2022 #Storygraph
