Happy New Year everyone! I was going to do a WWW Wednesday post, but decided I will just share my 2020 reading goals with yall instead! I’ll still include a little summary about what I’m reading, in case anyone in curious.
Okay, so let’s get the WWW portion done!
- What I just finished reading: Tweet Cute by Emma Lord. Omg, so I was so excited to get invited to this blog tour. The book was adorable and a great way to end the year! Look for my blog tour post on Jan 22!
- What I am reading now: Grey by EL James. This was one of the books off my TBR list! The Libby hold came in early so this will be the first book of the year!
- What I am reading next: The Center of the Universe by Ria Voros and Cub by Cynthia L Copeland. I have a blog tour for Cub coming up on Jan 6. The Center of the Universe is an ARC I had from last year and it fits this month’s Book Battle theme perfectly!
READING GOALS 2020
Okay so I’m going to let you know my goodreads goal, monthly read goal, tbr goal and the goals I have for Words & Whimsy, Book Battle and the blog!
- Goodreads Goal: Last year I read 163/150. This year I am aiming for 165. I know it’s not a huge jump. I might end up upping it. We will see where the year goes!
- Monthly Goal: I want to read at least 15 books a month. If I can read 15, it will put me over 165. It’s a large jump, but my work hours are getting cut from 50+ to 40, so I’ll have a lot of extra time to read!
- TBR Goal: There are two parts to this. First, keep doing my TBR posts every Sunday. Next, I want to read 20 books off my tbr this year. It’s currently sitting at 1958. I’d also love to get it below 1800 – by deleting and reading! I guess that’s three parts. Oops.
- Words & Whimsy: I want to get back into author chats! This year was rough with illnesses and childcare, so it was hard to make a lot of chats. I would love to be on camera more and talk to our amazing authors! We did close to 50 chats in 2019 and I think we have eight lined up for January! We are going to be stacked this year and I can’t wait to see who we get to meet! I also am going to be more diligent in posting my Convince Me and any other posts I need to do! No more slacking this year!
- Book Battle: I want to find the best recs possible for our criteria! Part of that will be upping my read count so I can find more books to fit instead of blindly throwing out recs! I also want to get better about doing my daily discussion questions!
- Mithah Reads: This has been a learning experience, for sure! I have loved navigating the new world of blogging. I’ve learned so much. There’s a few things I want to do. I want to get invited to more blog tours! They have been so fun and I love doing them. I also want to up my follower count to 150+. I am at 52 followers right now and I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH! I never thought this many people would care what I say about books! Your support means everything. I also want to improve my reviewing skills. I plan to watch youtube videos and read other blogs to see how I can improve my craft to bring you the best reviews I can! Lastly, I am going to try to post/schedule posts at least every other day. I love blogging and want to be way more active!
- Other goals: I want to keep up with my reading planner. I’m using the 2020 Owlcrate planner! I love it and even bought an extra! Once I get the hang of all this, I may even start trying to get into bookstagramming! I really only read ebooks, so I’ll have to figure out how to make cute pics with a Kindle, so we will see what happens.
