I can relate to #4! I had to change a lot of my personal blogging expectations when I started grad school last year. However, blogging less somehow got me more involved in other online bookish communities – like challenges – and I wouldn’t change a thing now. I hope you find your perfect balance. Happy new year!

One of my aims is also to read more non-fiction, I think since leaving uni I’ve celebrated having the option to read fiction a bit too far and now completely forgot about non-fiction. Need to try and get a balance. Another goal for me is to read more poetry. The only poetry I have read was a miniscule amount back in my school days and would like to give it another try.

I try not to make resolutions because I always break them…oops! I like yours, though and I think I might be with you on the lean toward the non-fiction bit. Enjoy and good luck!

I do not have any New Year resolutions and I used to review every book as soon as I finished, but now I feel kind of bored if there is nothing I want to add to what is already been said.

Reading my own books is definitely high on my list. It is so easy to let the TBR stack grow ever larger. It is so quick and easy to buy more books but it takes time to sit down and actually read them. It sounds so silly but it is so true! Lets hope that we can both do a good job of actually working through the books that we own!

#3 – I have a system for that! Heck I wrote a post the another night about keeping the details of books straight for review when you’d rather keep reading than start reviewing lol. Biggest tip – start a file… put title and an instant review down for it and a list of words that describe the book. Good luck catching up!

I do plan to read more of my own books this year but that’s about it. Although, reviewing books in a more timely manner applies…I try to write something before moving on but it doesn’t always happen. Happy New Year!

I do have reading and blogging goals, some of which are almost the same as yours. I totally agree about not feeling guilty. Why do we do these things to ourselves? When activities do not become enjoyable it’s time to step back and reevaluate, not feel guilty. Here’s to happy and healthy new year all the way around

WOW — could I just copy and paste your goals to my blog? I nodded in agreement to each and every one!

All sound doable and fantastic, Meghan. Cheers to a wonderful reading new year.

I think my goal is to read for at least an hour every day without distractions, even if I’m buried with finals. I didn’t do that last semester and it got really ugly there at the end….
