I prefer to call it goals, not resolutions. I also give myself permission to change my goals when they no longer feel like a good fit for me. I review my goals monthly and quarterly.
I set the goal of reading 100 books for the year, but I expect to read more. I don't find this goal particularly helpful, I just set it because I have used GoodReads and this is the best way to see all the books I've read in any year. I've switched to StoryGraph, so this is less of a problem since it sorts easily by year and month read.
I have 2 main reading goals this year to read international authors and to tackle my owned and unread books.
1- I started a long-term project to read fiction and nonfiction books by authors from 195 countries. My goal this year is to read 52 books that count toward that project.
2- I have 14 books that moved with me 3 years ago that I haven't read, some of which I've started. This year I plan to start each of them and either finish them or decide they aren't for me and release them.
Another goal around reading is to find and try a few book clubs that meet in person. I've found 3 book clubs that are hosted by my local library and 1 on MeetUp. I plan to join each of them at least once this year and hope to find a few that I want to join every month.
