Christmas prezzie for myself came early - thought it would arrive after I left for my mother‘s house for the holiday but lo & behold!
First year trying a reading planner - this one looked so fun! ๐ฅณ๐

Happy New Year! I‘ve got a few resolutions this year. The GoodReads goal is focusing on my physical owned books. I need to work on my NetGalley feedback. I want to keep a book journal. And I need to read more nonfiction this year.
1 and 4 should dovetail together nicely. I have a lot of nonfiction! ๐
Hey there, Littens! My reading life was WAY down during the second half of the year, & I was terrible about posting on Litsy. ๐ Determined to be back in force in 2023!
Goals: 80 books, #Booked2023 & #Authoramonth2023. And reading my shelf - isn't that always a goal? ๐
Happy New Year! ๐

Lol it‘s 11pm and NOW I‘m working on items for the new year. I don‘t usually do life resolutions but I do have reading goals:
โญ๏ธ Instead of aiming for a set # of books, I just want to read more. Even if it‘s just a chapter a day.
โญ๏ธ Finish most of the 27+ books on my โunfinishedโ list.
โญ๏ธ Read from my TBR list, focusing on books I own.
โญ๏ธ This is more an unofficial goal but I want to finish reading all of Ania Ahlborn‘s books.
Love this! My word isn‘t listed above, but it‘ll be Patience.
#your2021word
I‘m not letting it get to December 31st 2021 and being upset at myself once again for not hitting a reading goal. So I‘m making it simple. If I read over my goal, great. If I only read one book this entire year, then great! No pressure 2021
#Readolutions for 2021, thanks for the idea @Traci1
I'm trying to keep it simple.
#PennyPerPage following @dariazeoli's guidelines
Finished book #2 (Little Faith) for #newyearwhodis - really enjoyed it but wished the ending was a little more neatly wrapped up.
Started # 3 and only about 40 pages in and so far it‘s good.
@Kdgordon88 @monalyisha
It‘s also #3 for #jumpstart2020 ๐
Every year I set a goal to keep a Book Diary. Maybe this will be the year it sticks longer than a few months. ๐๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Initial Goals:
33 books read (doable)
Significant progress on my TBR (hmm)
Tackle better/longer books
Complete more challenges
Participate in more swaps
My reading goals for next year are not to read more, but to read better. I felt this year there were some good, but not too many great books. I‘m hoping to read some great books in 2020, so I‘ve made some lists of books I really want to get to. I‘m going to try to do the Read Harder challenge & some of the nonfiction bingo. I‘m keeping my goodreads goal super low this year so I‘m not so focused on quantity.
#newyearsgoals #bookgoals2020
A New Years Tradition is prepping for the next years reading and setting goals. I need a new bullet journal and I am trying to make it pretty this year so I got a kit with stencils, washi tape, stickers, pens, etc. I will set a goodreads goal. And I want to read all of Willa Cather‘s works. Plus I want to read Harry Potter # 4 with my oldest #wintergames #teamnutcracker #holidaytraditions @Clwojick @StayCurious @Bookworm54

Happy New Year to you all from Sydney, Australia๐๐๐
Can't believe it's 2019 already! Have you set your reading challenge for the year? I think I'm going to set it the same as last year and hoping to do better as I go along :)
It‘s that time again; a new year means new resolutions! What are your bookish resolutions for 2019? Whether it‘s reading a certain amount of books, reading different genres, completing a certain reading challenge, or something else entirely, let us know what you‘re resolving to do in the comments and we may give you a shoutout on the January podcast episode! #EclecticQuestion #EclecticReaders #Podcast
Yup, that
102 books! My best reading year yet.
2019 goals
1. Read 90 books. (But really I want to break 100 again.)
2. Read the 12 books that have been on my Goodreads TBR the longest.
3. Read one book by each of the authors I have 3 or more books by on my Goodreads TBR.
4. Read at least 24 books I own.
A quiet first day back in the office has meant time to plan all the books I want to read this year. I really want to get to them all, although I only managed 32 books in 2018 and with 23 on this list that doesn‘t leave too much room for spontaneous buys and Libby reads. But I am determined to try and read more this year ๐ค๐
It's officially January 1st which means I DID IT!!! I successfully accomplished my one New Year's resolution for 2018 to not buy any books for myself. My goal was to focus on reading from my own collection, but I ended up borrowing books from friends and the library as well as listening to audio books. So for 2019 I'm going to let myself buy books as long as I work on reading more from my own shelves ๐ค Happy New Year everyone!
Happy 2019, Littens!
May this brand new year filled with promise and opportunity also be filled with more reading and more books, of course!

@RealLifeReading
Due to my extreme rural location any chance for some of these is impossible.
I know I‘m super late with this, but here goes:
๐ Read 75 books (almost made it in 2018!)
๐ Find time to read (somehow!) every day, even a little
๐ Read more poetry
๐ Reread some old favorites
๐ Keep up with group- and buddy-reads
๐ Tackle some of the books that have been at the top of the tbr pile for years!
Here‘s to a bookish New Year, Littens! ๐ฅณ๐ฅ
#sundayfunday
Set my #goodreadschallenge for the year. Doubling 2018's seemed tough at first but I did read 81/50 and I started in March last year. My 2018 resolution of reading my books I should have read before continues with the addition of more 18th century classics. I'm still working on a list for that part.
Happy New Year everyone!
I‘m not usually one for resolutions but 2019 has to be the year I finally get my book buying habit under control. I‘ve got a whopping 152 unread books, worth a total of 422 points (based on my elaborate point system.) So in 2019, I resolve to not buy any more books until I‘ve slashed that 152 down to 50.
#2019resolutions #iwillnotbuymorebooks
Here we go again! The excitement over starting a new year in books was what got me out of bed this morning.
Goals for 2019:
๐ Another hundred
๐ Read at least 1 book per month that I already own
Keeping it simple because I love book discovery and other resolutions (playing more board games, being more social) will take away from my reading time. Happy 2019, Littens! #happynewyear #bookgoals
I am day late for Sunday but still in time to make my New Years resolutions so here they are...
๐read 115 books
๐make an effort to read the e-books I already own
๐attend a literary event
๐the year of the rereads... Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Twilight
#sundayfunday @sebrittain
Brought to you by the incomparable @hermyknee , my plan is to absolutely #readinthenewyear starting now with an audio book.
I'm terrible at New Year resolutions. I'm practically sure l won't achieve any of these. But here it goes.
1. Complite this year #TBRBingo
2. Complete #Booked2019
3. Read enough non-fiction books about 1920s Germany to be ready for the AtoZ blogging challenge in April (and all my 1920s German novels)
4. Take part in at least one Litsy swap
5. Taking part in at least one readathon
My Resolution is to seriously avoid any reading slumps !
I‘ve just seen this ... Thankyou @rohit-sawant ...... delighted to be able to re-post
I worry about making commitments that I will not keep so I don‘t often make New Year‘s Resolutions, but I do think that it can be motivational as a frontal lobe thought...so here goes an effort:
๐ Participate in a Reading Marathon
๐ Read two biographies
๐ Complete a Sci-Fi/Fantasy series
I hope that I follow through. I have 100% confidence in only one of those statements, because it‘s already part of a plan. We‘ll see...
#SundayFunday
Wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy 2019!
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
My resolution for every year ๐๐๐
๐ at least 35% of my books written by women or non-binary authors (up from 30% in 2018)
๐ >2% of books from Oceania authors
๐ >2% of books from Asian authors
๐ 10 books from BBC Big Reads list
๐ >12% translated books
2018 was my most prolific reading year to date and that‘s with getting two new jobs, studying a masters degree and parenting two young children. I‘m pretty pleased with my 76 (and a half) books and well surpassed my target of 52. Next I‘m aiming to crack 100, but to do that I really am going to have to squeeze reading into every available minute.
1. Read at least 25 books. I usually beat my goal, but I feel like I slow down a bit with having a full-time job. But, I need to make more time after work reading and get a ton of reading over my vacations (thank goodness for working in the schools).
2. Stop putting books on hold for other books-I have too many unfinished books due to this.
3. Post more on #Litsy
