✨Pj‘s all the way
✨Stay Up

✨Couch
✨Slippers

Typically for NYE I stay at home cozy with the kiddos. We play board games, build puzzles, drink cocoa and maybe a few close friends come by to join in with a potluck dinner. We countdown and text are immediate family at midnight before crashing hardcore into bed. We are all about low key at home for New Year‘s celebrating!
Happy New Year, Everyone! 🎉✨

I actually wouldn‘t mind getting glammed up and going out for New Year‘s Eve, but I don‘t because I refuse to be out on the roads on a drinking holiday. So usually I just stay in and watch the ball drop, then pop a bottle of champagne for myself at midnight. Might not make it tonight - I have a mean case of the Sunday scaries about going back to work on Tuesday and am worried about oversleeping after two weeks off.

I am excited about #auldlangspine and just registered! I was so intrigued by this last year and looking forward to finally giving it a try! Thanks for organizing @monalyisha ! I hope the winter hibernation is going as well as can be expected. I‘ll go make sure my Litsy stacks are updated at least through the last year now… haha 😅😬

monalyisha Ha! Thanks for joining and for the well wishes! It‘s only the beginning. Check on me again in February & we‘ll see how I‘m faring. 🥶 1y

I surpassed my goal of reading 50 books in 2021. Wanted to make it over 60 books but got in a reading slump the last 3 months of 2021. But still proud because this is the most I have ever read in a year 😊 my goal for 2022 is to read 52 books. #bookgoals #yearlywrapup #goodreadschallenge

2.) Fitness Goal = to try to exercise for around an hour most days and get back into the habit of taking time to journal daily.

We‘ll see how this goes! #BFC21 @wanderinglynn

As much as I love to read, this is the first year I actually completed my Goodreads Challenge 🤷🏻‍♀️ I‘ve set next year for 50 books and I‘m sure (thanks to all of my fellow Littens) that I‘ll be able to make it again! Thank you all for your inspiration, motivation and for keeping things fun! Happy 2021 everyone! 🎉🎉

witchyreader13 2019 was a slow reading year for me, so I set a goal of 26 books for this year thinking it would be something to strive for. But I ended up getting back into the swing of things with my usual reading habits in 2020. I still have a few more novels to enter into Goodreads (stuff I read in July but forgot to keep track of), but I'm already up to 55 books read in 2020. Super proud of myself. :) And I've set a goal of 60 books for 2021. 3y
Read-y_Picker @abooknerdsparadise that is AWESOME! You must feel soooo good about that! Have any great recommendations for me? 3y
witchyreader13 Tried to respond yesterday, but ended up accidentally deleting my entire message after I wrote it and gave up in frustration. Lol. Giving it another go now... 3y
See All 9 Comments
witchyreader13 Keep in mind that asking me for recommendations is always dangerous, so be prepared for an earful! 😂 3y
witchyreader13 I read a LOT of fantasy/horror. My favorites this year were: Snow Glass Apples (GN) - Neil Gaiman, Wintersong - S Jae Jones, Carry On & Wayward Son - Rainbow Rowell, Supernatural Enhancements - Edgar Cantero, The Babysitters Coven - Kate Williams, The Monster of Elendhaven - Jennifer Giesbrecht, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires - Grady Hendrix, Blood Countess - Lana Popovic, & Burn the Dark - SA Hunt. 3y
witchyreader13 For feminist reads: No Walls & the Recurring Dream - Ani Difranco, Girl Serpent Thorn - Melissa Bashardoust, The Witches Are Coming - Lindy West, & You Too? - Janet Gurtler. 3y
witchyreader13 And two books which surprised me with how much I enjoyed them were: The Tourist Attraction by Sarah Morgenthaler and The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. 3y
witchyreader13 Sorry you asked yet? Lol. Out of everything though, I fell the hardest for the Rainbow Rowell and SA Hunt novels. 3y
Read-y_Picker @abooknerdsparadise I rarely ask for more than I can handle lol. Interesting lists! I see some authors I love, other books I‘ve been eyeing, some I should really get around to because, heck, everyone is doing it! I‘m definitely stacking Raven Boys. 3y

I decided this year not to put so much stress on myself in reading as many books as possible. I havent hit my goal in the past 3 years so I figured I would do something attainable. I also want to take my time reading and enjoy the story as well instead of worrying about reading it fast to get through it happy new year my friends. I hope yall all get everything you desire in the new year!! Xoxo

Scochrane26 I like to do a lower goal, too. I set mine at 50. This leaves room for reading longer books & not worrying about quantity. 4y
Moonprismpower Yeah me too! I set my goal to 25. I always feels successful at the end of the year and too high a goal results in me reading a book but not remembering it at all! 4y
cariashley 👏👏 I‘m doing the same for the first time this year! Have been hitting my goal of 125 but just barely, and it‘s not worth the stress. Lowering it to 75. 4y
wordslinger42 I also like doing a lower goal sometimes! This will be my second year not doing a Goodreads challenge. I actually enjoy it more when I skip a year or two between. Makes reading more enjoyable for me and not just a task to complete! 4y
sarahs.thoughts.on.books Last year I had sub-goals, I didn't meet any of them. At the same time, having those sub-goals helped me to diversify genres read (I mainly read romance, so those get consumed at a high rate) 4y

2020 READING GOALS

My 2020 reading goals will be flexible, as I'm navigating new motherhood while juggling an insurmountable TBR.

📚 I'll try the Goodreads challenge again and I'll probably fall short of my yearly goal, as usual.

📚 I want to dive back into the Harry Potter series and finish in the next year or two.

📚 I'll try to read 50 books (including children's books) this year •

#TeamFestivus

2019 included a lot more books than I imagined it would when it kicked off 364 days ago! I discovered a bunch of new authors, read some of the best fiction I‘ve ever come across, & learned a lot about myself as a reader.

There‘s about 8hrs left until midnight in my part of the world so just enough time to finish one more book before the decade ends... 😉

Happy New Years, Littens! 🎉

I‘ve read # 3, 9 and 15, and # 5, 6, 14 and 20 aren‘t available from my library or Scribd, so I‘ll focus on the other 13 books. I‘m not sure I‘ll get through them all, but I‘m hoping with a mix of audio and print I can make it through most.

My #litsyresolutions are:
📚 Read more broadly. I tend to stick with the same genres, same authors. I need to expand my reading horizons
📚 Post more reviews. I think I may go over board on my life posts or events I'm in. Next year I want to try to review every book I read.
📚 Make it fun! For a bit, posting felt like a chore. I want it to be fun again, so more things I love! Q&A's, readathons, swaps!!
@MidnightBookGirl

MidnightBookGirl I love the idea of more reviews! I definitely want to comment more. I plan on reposting about #LitsyResolutions closer to January, it just struck me today so I went with it! 4y
