Happy New Year All My Fellow Readers.
I can't believe it's already 2016! 2015 was such a whirlwind, and I can't believe it's already been a few months since I first started this blog.
I hope everyone had an amazing New Years :) Mine was fairly uneventful as my hubby was working late, so I spent it just curled up with an amazing book at home. This actually worked out perfectly as earlier this week we got our very first pet together; an adorable 14 week old kitten that we named Katsa after the protagonist from Kristin Cashore's Graceling. She's such a sweetie, and I enjoyed just getting to relax and enjoy new years at home with her, since Christmas was so busy, it was nice to just have some downtime.
Today as my first post of 2016, I thought I would share my bookish New Year's resolutions:
1) First and foremost, I have set my goodreads 2016 reading goal to be 350 books. This might seem a bit much to some people, but last year I set it at 300, and ended up reading 375, so I'm hoping I'll be able to stay on track with the way I have been reading :)
2) To read more classics. I love so many classic novels, with Little Women, and Pride and Prejudice, being two of my absolute favorites, but there's so many more out there that I have yet to read, and I hope to get to some of them this year.
3) To read books by at least five authors I've never read before. Discovering new authors, and new books is one of my favorite parts of being part of the book community, and I hope to continue that this year.
4) To read more inspirational fiction. I love inspirational fiction, and yet it's a genre I tend to forget about when I'm ordering books, in favor of ordering more YA or adult fiction. This year I really plan on working my through more inspirational fiction books, and I've actually already started this challenge as I'm currently reading a series by Colleen Coble and completely loving it!
5) Lastly, I want to review more of the books I read, and invest more time in my blog. I would love to have it on a regular uploading schedule, and I'm hopeful that this may happen in 2016. This may not seem like a bookish resolution, but since this is primarily a book blog, I think it fits :)
Thanks for reading everyone. I'd love to hear what everyone else's bookish resolutions are this year.
Here's to a brand new year of discovering great books!
