Random Thoughts: Looking back at 2017 Blogging Resolutions

Last year I set myself five little goals, five resolutions to help me read and blog better and now is the time to look back at 2017 Blogging Resolutions. I’m not sure I really achieved any of my goals, but I know that I pushed myself to try, and if I failed them in 2017, I can always try again next year… So my goals in 2017 were: to actually complete a challenge i set myself Last year I set the task of completing a bookish challenge. I failed. This year I just want to complete one challenge. I still failed. Challenges are really hard, but despite not completing any challenges I have learnt so much from the challenges, and read books and watched musicals I probably would not have otherwise done. reduce the amount of arc’s / netgalley books i have to read So I feel like I can say that I have done this. I have been ruthless and got rid of books that I do want to read but have been in the pile since 2014. Clearly I […]

Random Thoughts: Looking back at 2016 Resolutions

Last year I set myself six little goals, six resolutions to help me read and blog better. And now is the time to look back at 2016 Resolutions. Some of my goals I achieved others I failed at. But looking back I’m really happy with what I achieved and hopefully this will push me to do even better in 2017 So my goals in 2016 were: To complete the reading challenges I set myself. This was a challenge I failed. Again I didn’t complete a challenge but this gave me an opportunity to try new things so in that sense it was a success. To comment on other blogs. I definitely succeeded in this challenge. Sometime I struggle to know what to say but as the year progressed I felt I got a lot more comfortable sharing my opinion. Reduce the amount of ARC’s / Netgalley books I have to read. I don’t think I succeeded in this goal, there are still a huge pile of books to read, but I have definitely become a lot more selective in what I will […]

Random Thoughts: My Bookish Resolutions for 2016

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 […]
