Everybody's asking me what my resolutions are for 2020 !

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG !

Sorry people, no reading goals, no particular resolution that would have been abandoned before the end of the month. None !

However...

Last year, I undertook cleaning out my e-reader and I'm almost (almost) there.
Last month, I undertook to sort out my physical to-read shelves and I have a lot of reading to do (184 books). I had help filing them :

Ever since last year, I've been wanting to read or re-read more classics mainly (but not only) written by women, starting with Jane Austen, my beloved Brontë sisters, of course, but also Agatha Christie and Daphne du Maurier. I read a lot of classics when I was a teen, but it's been a while and I thought a re-read and discovering other titles would do me good.

So, to prepare myself, I've been reading biographies of Jane Austen, I've re-read Lady Susan, started reading Sense and sensibility, put it on pause while I finished 2 buddy reads, just picked it back. Then I already have Pride and prejudice, Mansfield Park and Northanger abbey and will order the others (Emma, Persuasion, Sanditon, The Watsons) because I want to keep them at home - my precious ! Then I'll go on youtube and will probably watch a few videos on her, I already have watched that one :

and I'll gladly rewatch these as I read :

Oh, and I watched this for Christmas, that was fun :

The Brontë sisters : I'll re-read Jane Eyre, The professor, Villette, Emily's poems, Agnes Grey and The tenant of Wildfeld Hall that I recently rewatched, the one with Toby Stephens ^^ :

First, I'll read their biography by Laura El Makki, Charlotte's biography by Elizabeth Gaskell (inaccurate, as I heard) and Daphe du Maurier's The infernal world of Branwell Brontë.

Agatha Christie : I have already re-read her biography by François Rivière, The mysterious affair at Styles, The secret adversary and Murder on the links in 2018 (time flies, I thought it was last year), in 2017 I had re-read And then there were none because I had watched the brilliant mini-series with a wonderful cast that was released in 2015 :

I plan on re-reading all of her books with no limit of time because there are a lot of them ! And I'll browse the book I offered my sister last Christmas, written by her fan François Rivière with many pictures of where she lived :

It's an old book, I read it years and years ago, but I remember it was filled with beautiful pictures pictures that made me want to visit Cornwalls - which I did !

Next, or at the same time, Daphne du Maurier ! I read her biography by Tatiana de Rosnay, which I appreciated moderately, I then watched a documentary on Youtube - can't remember which one, sorry, I have re-read Rebecca at the end of 2017 (again, time flies) and will re-read (or read) all of her books, starting with The doll and other stories which is on my shelf.

I think that's already a lot of books and universes to explore in 2020, but I won't stop at these, even if it stretches to the following years : I plan on reading/re-reading novels by Elizabeth Gaskell, E.M. Forster, Thomas Hardy, Edith Wharton, Elizabeth Goudge (old teenage favourite author of mine), Arthur Conan Doyle (absolutely great favourite author of mine), Elizabeth von Arnim and many others like Penelope Lively, David Lodge, Julian Barnes, Willa Marsh, Alison Lurie, Kazuo Ishiguro or Barbara Pym for instance.

And apart from those "old" classics or contemporary classics, I plan on reading mysteries/suspense/thrillers because I manage those at my library, along with books in English, sciences and technics. Besides, working in a library and succeeding in resisting the temptation of all those new books that are delivered to us every week ? Who am I kidding, there's no possible resisting in sight !

So, you see why I don't have any goal for 2020, I don't want to be under pressure. I read more than 180 books last year with no goals and that was fine.
