First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope this new year brings you guys loads of awesomeness and you can all enjoy great books. I wanted to make a list of things that I am going to try to accomplish in 2012. There is so much I want to do/change this year in regards to reading and blogging.
1. Reading goals:
- I want to read 100 books this year. I set 100 books to read in 2011 but I only really started reading constantly in June so I got to about 65 books. This year should be a breeze to get to 100 :)
- Also, I didn't participate in any challenges last year. I think I'm going to stick to that this year but I will be attempting to read a dystopian book each month and 8-10 classics. I never read classics and I think it's time for that to end. (Plus my friend said she would haunt me if I didn't *shivers*)
- Another thing is that I want to read books that I bought in or before 2011. So my goal is to read a few of those each month. So by the end of the year I will have read at least 35 books off my shelves.
- I want to organize myself when it comes to the blog. I procrastinate like a lunatic. I am convinced that there is no one that procrastinates more than me and that needs to STOP (at least when it comes to the blog :P)
- I want to post more review. I am terrible at this because I read and then procrastinate and keep reading and in the end have 10 books that need reviews and zero reviews on the blog. I am going to start small. One review a week, then up to two and finally three reviews a week!
- I also want to do less memes and try to do more creative posts. Things like new releases each month, a feature for my favorite book of the month and links to where you can buy it, good book deals, and some discussion posts. Hopefully this goes well. But I will still be doing IMMs of course.
- I have a YouTube channel but I mainly just post IMM videos. I want that to change. I want to post more diverse videos like book chats and short story teasers and reviews.
- I would love to post video reviews.
- Also maybe do bookish tags.
- Become more involved in commenting on other book vloggers videos. I want to be able to meet others in that community.
- EXERCISE!!! I'm not unhealthy but I need to exercise this year :)
- Drink more water :P
Procrastination is something we have in common. I have months where I'm ahead of schedule and then, suddenly, I start slacking off and work piles up... like now, when I have 6 more reviews to be written. Hopefully 2012 is the year we change all that!
ReplyDeleteI want to get more organized for my blog too. These look like really good goals. Good Luck with them!
