Now that it is officially 2018 it is time to set some goals!
I love the start of a new year and am looking ahead at what I would like to accomplish with my reading, blogging, and more.
Reading Challenges…
- The Official 2018 TBR Pile Challenge hosted by Roof Beam Reader.
- 2018 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge hosted by Passages to the Past.
- 2018 NetGalley and Edelweiss Reading Challenge hosted by Bookish Things & More.
- Goodreads reading goal (65 books).
Reading Goals…
- I would like to “start” at least 5 book series and “complete” at least 3 of them.
- Attain my 50 book review badge.
- Participate in a readathon.
Book Event…
- I’m planning on attending my first book event in April – 23rd Annual Los Angeles Times Festival of Books.
Blogging Goals…
- Continue to grow my meme – Looking Ahead – This Month’s TBR List.
- Continue participating in It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?, Teaser Tuesday/First Page/First Paragraph, and, on occasion, Top Ten Tuesday.
- Reading by Numbers – I’m quite intrigued by stats, so this year I decided to keep track of and make a quarterly update on many bookish stats, such as male vs. female authors, book genre, page length, how I acquired the book, and so on.
Social Media…
- I plan on posting on Instagram this year, rather than just lurking quietly in the shadows.
- I would like to be a little bit more consistent with posting to Facebook.
Personal Goals…
- I want to increase my days at the gym from 2 to 4.
- Plan a fabulous 25th wedding anniversary trip for my husband and I.
Do we have any of the same goals for the year? What are your goals for the new year?

I love Instagram although I will be honest that most of what I post there is nonsense given I have now skill with a camera whatsoever! 😂

I’d like to get moving more in 2018. I slacked off a bit in 2017 because of physical issues, but I’d like to try to do better. And I want to read more books from my tbr pile, particularly new to me authors I’ve been wanting to read.
Happy 25th!! All the best with your goals. I have to go find you on Instagram.

Good luck with all your goals! I need to try and get to the gym at least 2 times a week … since having kids I relax way too much in my free time!
