2018 Goal Update

Every year for the past few years I have been making reading goals for myself and I have been posting them on my blog for the past couple of years now.  I find I like to see which ones I have actually done and which I haven't done. 

Here is what my goals were for this year.

Every year I write down my reading goals for the year and this year my goals will be a little different.

This year I would love to take part in more read-a-thons and take part in a few read-alongs.  So far I am already signed up for Bout of Book 21 and 2018 Stephen King read-along. I might not take part in the Stephen King read-along every month but I had been wanting to read more Stephen King books so I will try to take part in at least 2 of them.   

I want to try and finish reading the Harry Potter series.  I have read books 1 to 3 last year and I did buy book 4 last year as well but I just haven't had the time to continue on in the series.

This year I am going to make my Goodreads goal low and just use it to keep track of the books I have read during the year and not really worry about the number of books I will be reading.

And like every year I will try to read more of my own to be read pile.  I did read quite a bit of them last year but I do need to make my to be read pile smaller.

Also, I have a few books that I have no finished last year.  They aren't books to review but books I have bought and started reading and then put aside because I needed to read books to review.

Ok, let's see:

I did start with Bout of Books... I mean I did the first 2 days but then I just completely forgot I was doing it or something.

I did read 2 of the books that everyone was reading for the 2018 Stephen King read-along but I got so busy with books to read and review that I had decided to quit that.

I did not finish reading the Harry Potter series.  I did read book 4 this month and I still do not have books 5 and 6.  I have book 7 which I got the year it came out.

I did keep my Goodreads goal low. I had set it to 50 books and so far this year I have read 202 books but as I am writing this I am currently reading 2 books and listening to 1 audiobook.

I did finish one of the books I had not finished last year.

Not the best year when it came to my goals but I did read a lot.  Oh and I read 29 of my own TBR pile so that is good.  I think that this is the first year since I started this blog that I have read so many of my own TBR pile that isn't for review.  I am proud of myself for that.

Before January I will be back with my 2019 reading goals.   I don't know what they will be yet but stay tuned.

Did you make goals?

Owning Violet (The Fowler Sisters #1) by Monica Murphy Review And Giveaway

Image
*I received a copy of this book for my honest review* I’ve moved through life doing what’s expected of me. I’m the middle daughter, the dutiful daughter. The one who braved a vicious attack and survived. The one who devoted herself to her family’s business empire. The one who met an ambitious man and fell in love. We were going to run Fleur Cosmetics together, Zachary and I. Until he got a promotion and left me in the dust. Maybe it’s for the best, between his disloyalty and his wandering eye. But another man was waiting for me. Wanting me. He too has an overwhelming thirst for success, just like Zachary—perhaps even more so. He’s also ruthless. And mysterious. I know nothing about Ryder McKay beyond that he makes me feel things I’ve never felt before. One stolen moment, a kiss, a touch . . . and I’m hooked. Ryder’s like a powerful drug, and I’m an addict who doesn’t want to be cured. He tells me his intentions aren’t pure, and I believe him. For once, I don’t care. I’m willing...
