25 books in 2021

January 16, 2021

So, I’ve decided to give myself a concise reading challenge this year. Don’t ask me why because I couldn’t tell you. I’m not very good at these reading challenges. I’ve tried them in the past and was never really successful at them. But for some reason, I feel like this year will be different.

I really feel like I should follow that feeling.

So naturally, the first thing I did was buy more books like I need more books. Then when those books arrived, I sorted my entire bookshelf, separating the ones that I’ve read from the ones I have yet to read. In comparison, I didn’t have as many unread books as I thought I did, but I still had plenty. Out of my unread book pile, I pulled out 25 books that I will attempt to read this year. It wasn’t going to be 25 books at first, but that’s the way it went. All of my books are YA–because it’s my absolute favorite genre–and a lot of them are travel or road trip themed–because that’s my thing.

I went through each book description and organized them by season. I really could have just read them all in random order, but I figured if I give myself an outline of what I should be reading when, I may actually read them all. So I assigned two books per month–with one month having an extra read–and hopefully they reflect the seasons well. For example, I wanted to keep all of the summer reads for the summer seasons and all of the more heavier depressing reads for the colder months. Down below is my list of books, separated into the months I’m hoping to read them in.

Have you set yourself a reading goal?

The nicest things can happen when you let go.

Growth is a series of push and pull, of holding on and letting go.

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
