Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Resolutions
Hooray the first Top Ten Tuesday of 2016 (a weekly feature you can find at The Broke and the Bookish).
This is a fun post because I don't actually make resolutions about my life, so maybe I'll stick to books ones. Probably not, but we'll see.
1. Read books I already own. It's been really fun getting into reviewing and receiving ARCs, but I've got books on my kindle and on my shelves. I should start on those, huh?
2. Don't impulse buy. This goes with #1. I'm really bad about buying books for $.99 or something ridiculous like that.
3. Build my community. Basically I want to read more blogs and make new friends.
4. Write better reviews. I'm pretty new to the whole reading/reviewing thing and sometimes I feel like my reviews are just a lot of thoughts thrown together. I want to be better at organizing them.
5. Keep track of purchases. I really wanted to do this last year, but I fell off the wagon of "not buying books". I'm going to do better this year!
6. Expand my genres. I like a lot of different genres but I find that I tend to lean toward certain things. I'd really like to try some new genres this year.
7. Take recommendations. Sometimes I tend to brush off others' recs. I'm going to do better this year.
8. Read A LOT. My goal is 200 books. I'm going to try it.
9. Don't be a snob. I guess I don't take a lot of recommendations because I tend to be a book snob. I'm working on it.
10. Love reading! Sometimes I get caught up in an ARC or a book that I think I have to finish, but I just don't enjoy it. So, no more of that. If I don't love it, I'm not going to force myself to finish it.
Well, there it is. Hopefully I'll be able to accomplish some of these things.
What are your resolutions?
