Sharing some of my favourite articles I read this week; I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

Alan Simpson hopes to ignore his reading goals! We all set reading goals and books we hope to read, but does that do us more harm than good? Should we orient our goals to be more fulfilling or number-based? Check out his article and hear about his thoughts.

I don’t need Goodreads making me feel like a failure by reminding me I am off my pace.

Lady Dr. Gabriella Korosi tells us of her reading aims and her other goals for 2022 — and it is inspiring! She plans to write a book, and I think it is safe to say that sounds exciting!

Just as the cactus Flower above I am reading one book now. More buds are coming up after.

E. Katherine Kottaras shares about a book that makes her happy. If you’re looking for a book that might brighten up your 2022, I advise you to check out her article.

I have read the book forward to back at least twice, and yet it’s also the kind of book that you can open to any random page and find support, solace, and invitations to grace.

If you want to have a chance of being featured every Sunday, post your response to a prompt from Prompt Times.

I am the editor of it, and if you like book-related content and the occasional poem, follow and subscribe. I am also active on Instagram, Substack, and Twitter.

To further support me, you can buy me a cup of Ko-fi.
