2019 Reading Resolutions

Happy New Years Eve Everyone :)


For today's post, I'd like to talk about what my reading resolutions are for 2019. 


Reading Resolutions are something I like to try and set every year, as it gives me goals to work towards with my reading.


This year's are pretty simple, but I think they are also all going to be enjoyable goals to try and meet.


Read 100 Novels:

My first reading resolution is to set my goodreads reading goal at 100 novels. While this is way less than I usually set it at, I'm hoping this year to spend more time reviewing the books I read, and I think a hundred novels will be a comfortable goal for accomplishing this.


Read one C.S. Lewis novel other than the Chronicles of Narnia:

I've been wanting to read some of C.S. Lewis' non-fiction titles for the last few years, but I've never actually gotten around to it. I've heard he has a brilliant way of representing the Christian walk with Jesus, and I'm very interested in hearing what he has to say.


Read all the Jane Austen titles that I have yet to read:

I love Jane Austen, but up until 2018 I'd actually only read Pride and Prejudice. In 2018, I read and loved Northanger Abbey and Sense and Sensibility, so I very much want to read more of her books in 2019.


Earn my 50 review badge from NetGalley:

2018 was also the year where I really started to utilize NetGalley more, and I'm so grateful for the many amazing titles I got to read and review. I'm hoping to read and review enough titles to earn the 50 review badge in 2019.


Read more of my own books:

In previous years I've been really bad at constantly borrowing books, and not really reading what's on my own shelves. I feel I did better at this in 2018, but I still do have a long way to go, and here's to hoping that I'll accomplish more of this in 2019.


Finish some of the series I've been procrastinating on:

There's quite a few series I have yet to finish that I started quite awhile ago, as I loved them so much I didn't want to see them come to an end. In particular, I'm thinking about The Lunar Chronicles for this one.


Read self-published authors:

Lastly, I'm hoping to read some more books by self-published authors as I always love getting to give their books a proper chance.


Are you guys setting any reading resolutions for 2019? And if you set any for 2018, did you accomplish the ones you did?


Thanks so much for reading guys!

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books.

First Line Friday: All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend. Today I'm excited to once again be linking up with Hoarding Books for First Line Friday. First Line Friday is one of my favorite weekly memes, and it simply consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading. I've had a lot of extra reading time on my hands lately because of all the social distancing, and as such, I've been able to read a lot of the titles that have been sitting on my shelves for quite some time. Today's book is one of such titles, and I'm happy that I finally found the time to get to it as I'm really enjoying it so far. All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes by Betsy St. Amant: About the Book: Kat inspected rows of the same old cupcakes. They seemed to blink back at her, as if they knew she was capable of so much more. Kat Varland has had enough of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. At twenty-six years old...
