“Every great library begins in the heart of someone with at least three heroic loves: a love for words, a love for truth, and a love for future generations.”
Love the theme idea. I’ve found that my knowledge of a subject is most secure when I “binge” a bunch of books on said subject. For example I felt most secure in my knowledge of natural family planning by reading material on it in a variety of places. I’ve thought of doing this with other subjects, particularly involving homemaking, and this was a good reminder that this is a good year to do so!
Lexy, I enjoyed reading this as it took me down memory lane of my own reading journey. For the past five or six years I have used a "plan" to help me read more. The first year or two it was an actual list of books that I went down one by one. That didn't allow for enough spontaneity so now I start with a theme and sketch out a plan with some actual titles on it but give myself plenty of room to adjust course if desired. Look forward to reading more of your content.

Spontaneity seems needful to keep moving forward and not burn out!
List of books vs theme of books is a great suggestion - I work on a rotation for my reading of classic, strategy, fiction which I’d recommend
