My 2016 Bookish Resolutions

1/6/2016

I've seen a few of these posts around, so thought I'd chime in on my bookish resolutions for 2016, because it's always fun to set goals and try and actually complete them. Especially if it means bookish love for books I was supposed to read last year (or the year before that, or the year before that, or the year before that... you get the idea).

My GoodReads Resolution

So last year I read 143 books but I'm super busy at work so my reading lessened in the second half of the year, so this year I've set my GoodReads challenge at a very modest 100. Which is like one book every two and a half days, or so. I can always up the challenge, but 100 is cool for the moment, until I can see how much reading I can get done!

To finish more book series!

Every year I've said I'm going to finish all my unfinished book series. So far I've already finished the Blue Bloods series, and I have a few more to go:
Out of Breath series by Rebecca Donovan
The Body Finder series by Kimberly Derting
The Secret Shopper series by Kate Harrison
Those are for starters. I've also got Cora Carmack's University series which is still ongoing, I think, the Boomerang series by Noelle August, quite a few actually and I'll get a proper post drawn up soon to keep track!

Must Read in 2016!

This challenge is from the lovely Lauren at Bookmark Lit and is all about picking out books from 2015 that you were DYING to read, and bought because you were so excited, and then didn't read them. I do that a lot; I get excited about a book, get hold of it, then forget to read it. Especially the books that get super hyped, I just get frightened in case it's not as good as it sounds, or as people have said, you know? So this is definitely a challenge I want to do, and I'll get a list together sharpish. 

So those are my bookish resolutions for 2016, as well as to not buy as many books, because I have plenty. I have more than plenty. I have more books than I could read in 5 years. Unless I retired/won the lottery and could read every day then I might get it done in two. But that's the life, there are ALWAYS amazing books being published, and I can never resist.
