Read 70 books for the Goodreads 2018 Reading Challenge. That equals 1.35 books a week. For me, that is a lot of books considering I work full time and writing reviews and maintaining this blog requires time that eats into my reading time.
Read at least one book a month from my TBR pile. You might not think this is not much of a goal, but there are so many great books released every year, I have a tendency to read the new ones first. It will be a real challenge to ignore the new ones and read from the TBR stacks that are overflowing onto the floor.
Read my Book of the Month, each month, before the end of the month. Here is another challenge that looks easier than it will be. I select my Book of the Month and when it gets here I set it in the TBR stack thinking I will get to it next. Then another book comes along and the BOM book remains in the TBR stack. No more. I will read my selected book each month. Right?!
Do more reviews of books by Indie and Debut authors. I am always surprised at how much new talent comes along each year. Therefore, I want to make a better effort to read more books by new authors and Indie authors. They especially need reviewers to read and write about their books.
I can’t buy new books unless I read books from my TBR stacks. In other words, if I read two books from my TBR stacks then I can buy two books to replace the two I have read. This way my stacks will not get any bigger than they already are. Books I get for gifts and gift cards for books do not count. This will be the hardest of all the goals/resolutions. It will be a miracle if I can make it to the end of January.
