Reading Priorities.

Things in my life have changed dramatically and reading has definitely had to take a back seat, with a difficult pregnancy and now a newborn I’m definitely not reading as much as I used to. I began to get really overwhelmed with the amount of books I have on my Kindle and how many I want to read. It became clear I need to go through and decide which books have become a priority and which ones I didn’t mind leaving to a later date.

So Google Sheets became my new best friend and I wrote out all of the books on my Kindle and have given them a number 1-3 based on how soon I want to get to read it. It was such a great experience, going through all the books and just realising how many potentially great reads I had on my Kindle.

My Reading Priorities so far…

These are all the books I have scored as being a 1 on my list, there are still quite a few so if you see any that you think I need to bump up then let me know!

As you can see, the narrowing down didn’t go so well and I still have a huge amount left on my priority list and no real direction as to where I should start. If you see one of your favourite books on the list then let me know and I can definitely start there. I am currently reading the first book in the Witcher series and I hope to get to the others shortly after that so I can start watching the TV series. But after that I am a free bird.

I would love to know how you keep track of your Kindle books, I feel like there must be an easier way and I’m just missing it!
