Reading Goals for 2017

Sunday, January 1, 2017

As we usher in a new year I cant help but reflect back on all the goals I set for myself at the start of the last year. True, I didnt work out every single day, I didnt wash my makeup brushes every other day, frankly 2016 sucked and there was alot that didnt go to plan. Still some things worked out, like my goodreads challenge and starting my bookstagram. So now I want to run through my plans for being a better reader in the year to come.

The Goals-

1) A new Goodreads challenge- I want to keep the same goal for number of books because I feel like its a good solid goal. 52 books, which means that theres about a book a week, giving some flexibility to reading. Some weeks maybe im super fast at reading, other weeks would be way slower or dedicated to binging like five seasons of any given show on Netflix. So its a good solid plan I hope and fingers crossed I can accomplish this goal again.

2) #DiversityBingo2016- I found this prompt on twitter and then found the video by Thesebooklions over on youtube. Basically they created a bingo sheet (Which ill include below if anyone want to see the prompts) with different suggestions for diverse books to read throughout the year. Its my hope to do at least half but im going to try for all of them, which if I manage will make over half of my reads this year diverse ones!

3) Reviews- I want to do more book reviews, and I have a new format that I hope to try for these though it might take some time to get them up and running. Still I really want to do more reviews, here in the new format and over on goodreads.

I know these might not seem revolutionary to most but they arent the easiest of goals for me, the girl with the gold fish memory. So im very hopeful I can work to accomplish some of these goals in 2017. Do you guys have any goals your anxious to tackle this year?

Not pictured but to be added below will be some kindle books and a novel im still waiting to be delivered... Barnes and Nobel had a 20% off coupon for a single book and i couldn't help myself...

Fingers crossed i can get through all 9 of these and maybe toss in another comic or two because i have been LOVING those lately. What reads are you guys hoping to get to while laying on the beach or like me, hiding from another heat wave? Leave your recommendations below!

July Reading Wrap Up

Hey there my sweets! I thought today i would share with you the kinda staggering 17 books i read in the last month!

But still between giant epic novels, novellas and some of my new Graphic Novels it was an amazing reading months. Below will be a rundown of all of the beauties i took in this month and i will link my good reads for anyone who likes reading and wants to be friends there. Ill accept everyone and love to talk books so dont be shy! My Goodreads (Books are in the order i read them)

(All books link to their goodreads page where you can find a synopsis for the book and a link to the authors page. The site is amazing and deserves a look around. Sometimes they even have giveaways, a chance to win ARC's {Advanced reader copies} of books before they are released!)

Impressive right? I mean not all novels but what ive been doing to avoid any reading hangovers is toss in a novella or graphic novel to kind of cleanse my pallet after an intense read or something that is deep fantasy. Dont have time to read these all and need my top three? An Ember in the Ashes is amazing and i will have a full review of it soon, as i will with The Wrath and the Dawn. More into contemporary? Better When He's Bad.... just a must read. Its a New Adult so not for the younger readers but still so so good. Need a YA option? Nowhere But here hands down.

What have you guys been reading this summer while you are soaking in the sun and enjoying your summer months? Have any recommendations you want to share? Leave them down below and dont forget to check out goodreads, we can be book buddies!
