 What are some of your bookish goals for the coming year?

Julie Review Avatar Julie

I remember the bookish resolutions I made at the beginning of 2014, and then pretty much ignored them when life happened. Maybe this year I won’t go overboard on creating the list of hope to do in 2015.

  • Use the library more.
  • Read the books I own, with the help of our challenge.
  • Write book reviews within a day or two of finishing the book.
  • No more requesting books on Netgalley unless I actually plan to read that book ASAP.
  • Write more bookish list posts on this blog.

Hmmm …..I know this year was super busy for me since I decided to go back to school. I did not meet my reading goal and a few other goals I did not meet as well. This year, my bookish goals are as follows:

  • Read the books I already own, which is why I am doing our challenge.
  • Read more of my netgalley requests
  • write some reviews this year.
  • Comment on other’s blogs more
  • Get my good reads shelves better organized.

Would it be wrong of me to just steal Julie’s goals? Probably! Here’s my list of goals:

  • Read the books I already own.
  • Read my weekly magazines the week I receive them.
  • Read and comment on other blog posts.
  • Write book reviews within a day or two of finishing a book.

    I would love to write reviews within a couple of days of finishing a book, but since I read so many at a time, and tend to finish them in groups, I doubt that’s possible. But all of your goals seem pretty reasonable. And I’m all for setting goals you know are attainable. Good luck!

      Guess that means you’d have to write a bunch of reviews in one sitting huh? Not very easy.

    Great goals, ladies. And I wish you luck in sticking with them. I am going to read books I own this year as well! I’m so glad y’all created the challenge. 🙂

    Great list of goals! Seems like everyone wants to concentrate on reading from their TBR piles instead of bringing new books home. I need to do this too, but I haven’t written down any goals for this year. Hope 2015 is better than 2014!

    You ladies have perfect timing! I’ve been struggling to come up with my own bookish / bloggy New Years resolutions, and here you are with 3 perfectly good lists. I might just have to borrow some of these! Good luck with your 2015 goals.

    Ugh you guys are preaching to the choir about “reading book I already own”. I bought 93 books in 2014 and only read 12 of them…TWELVE! I plan on buckling down on my monthly TBR list and visiting my fantastic library more often to help curb my spending! Good luck with your goals ladies!!

    • Rose

      Octavia, I think 12 books is an awesome number! I mean,I also think it is awesome that you bought 93 books, so maybe I am not the best judge????

    I think my resolution would be to leave off reading challenges, and not to accept so many review copies, which would give me the freedom to read according to my mood. I keep making this resolution every year, and every year I get tempted into challenges and review copies 🙂

    Great goals – I have a few of the same 🙂 you should join the Bookish Resolutions challenge hosted by Because Reading and trips down imagination road, having to check in makes mw responsible, so I’m going to do it for the most important resolutions I have.
