This year I want to do better with my blog, and what better way to start the new year with some bookish goals to aim for?!

So my Bookish Resolutions 2016 are:

• To complete the reading challenges I set myself. In 2015 I didn’t complete a single challenge. I got close but never got 100%. Hopefully this year will be different.

• To comment on other blogs. I started commenting on other blogs mid-year and it went really well for a couple of months and then I slowly stopped. Time to get back in the swing of it!

• Reduce the amount of ARC’s / Netgalley books I have to read. This is a bit of a pressurised ask as I feel that I have a lot of books to read, but can’t read my own books because of books from publishers. So the aim is to reduce that pile.

• However… read some of my own books for my own pleasure. Sometimes I feel blogging can take over and sometimes the joy of pure reading is lost. So I want to read books for the sake of reading because that is what I fancy doing.

• Read the books that are physically on my shelves. We all have that habit of buying a book because we really want it only to put it on the shelf for a few months before we read and by that point the shelves are overflowing with books. This year I want to try and read the books I already own before I buy new ones. This is a tough one, but hopefully I can do it!

• Finally I want to try and keep my blog a bit more regular and a bit more up to date than in 2015. I love blogging so this year my aim is to be a bit more organised and to have more things scheduled in advanced for the days / weeks when I can’t keep up.

So what are your bookish resolutions 2016 goals?
