It's Blogmas Day 21 Guys :)
As it's getting closer and closer to Christmas, I've found that I haven't had quite as much reading time the last little while. And as I don't expect this to change much over the next few days, I thought today would be a great day to post the results of the Reading Resolutions I set for myself back at the start of 2016, and if you're interested you can read my original post here.
My first Bookish resolution was that I set my Goodreads 2016 reading goal to be 350 books!
Results: Unfortunately, this is a goal I didn't even come close to matching, as right now I've only completed 268 books, and I definitely don't see myself finishing 72 books before New Years. I'll probably end up reaching 270 before then, but that will probably be all.
However, I'm okay with not making this goal this year, as it shows that in 2016 I was sick a lot less, and as such, I didn't finish quite as many books as I did the previous years because I wasn't home sick as much.
I'm still really proud of how many books I managed to finish, and I discovered a lot of new favorites in the process.
My Second Bookish Resolution was that I wanted to read more classics.
Results: Unfortunately, this is another resolution that I've failed miserably at. I'm currently reading Wuthering Heights, but I wanted to read a few classics, and that just didn't happen. I will definitely be continuing on with this goal in 2017!
My Third Bookish Resolution was that I wanted to read books by at least five authors that I'd never read before.
Results: This one I'm proud to say that I completed wholeheartedly, and then some. I read a ton of new authors this year, and while I'm not going to list them all, I will list some of the ones I ended up enjoying the most:
Becky Wade, Lis Wiehl, Rick Riordan, Samantha Chase, Emery Lord, Ann Aguirre, Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Colleen Hoover, Claudia Gray, Mary E Pearson, and Pintip Dunn.
My Fourth Bookish Resolution was to read more inspirational fiction.
Results: I'm proud to say that this is definitely another resolution that I completed. I was able to read books by:
Colleen Coble, Rachel Hauck, Dani Pettrey, Becky Wade, Melissa Tagg, Denise Hunter, Lois Gladys Leppard, Janice Thompson; among others, as well as lots of the Harlequin Love Inspired Novels.
My Fifth and Last Bookish Resolution was to get my blog on a regular updating schedule.
Results: This is definitely the resolution that I'm the most proud of, as I feel my blog came a long way in 2016 from what it was when I started it in September of 2015. I've definitely come to love the Book Blogging Community, and I look forward to continuing to grow my blog in 2017.
Thanks so much for reading today guys! I look forward to seeing you here again tomorrow for Blogmas Day 22, and I'm also looking forward to 2017 and the great things ahead for the Bookish community.
