Episode 18: Empty Heads and Vibes
2025 Reading Goals: A Retrospective in Chaos
Resolution vs Reality
Claire:
Set a goal of 35 books and absolutely obliterated it.
Crushed the goal, blew past expectations, and remained the only one to actually meet and beat their 2025 resolution.
No notes. Just vibes. Icon behavior only.
Laurel:
Wanted to make more time to read just for fun.
Managed to keep up with Salacious Sips reads (gold star ⭐), plus a few stray pleasure reads… but honestly? Life absolutely lifed and had opinions.
‘Stina:
Aimed for 400 books after strutting out of 2024 with 380+ and absolutely no humility.
Plot twist: finished at 98 books because she fell headfirst, feral and unrepentant, into a 9-1-1 fanfic rabbit hole and simply never emotionally recovered.
2026 Bookish Goals: Chaos, Cocktails, and Questionable Life Choices
Claire:
35 books. Same as last year 📚💀… because why fix perfection when you can just chaos it up 😈🍷✨
Laurel:
More pleasure reading, fewer life attacks, please 🥴🍷📚… but knowing 2026, she’ll probably end up lost in a fanfic vortex again 💀✨🔥
‘Stina:
Aiming for 400 books again 📚💪 and maybe clawing her way out of the 9-1-1 fanfic rabbit hole 🕳️🔥 she willingly dove into in 2025 😅✨
Spoiler: she’s not making any promises 🍷💀
No one’s touching their goals 📖💀—2025 was chaos, so why pretend we’re ready for sanity? 🥴🔥
Life will probably life again 😅✨, resolutions may or may not happen, but here’s to trying anyway 🍷📚💫
