New Years Resolutions

Jan 07, 2010 18:47


My number one (reading) resolution is to keep up with writing reviews better. I'm still so far behind, but I'm working on catching up (kind of). To make it easier to measure, I'm not going to have any roll-over reviews: so every book I read in a month has to be reviewed before the month's over. I'm also going to start posting monthly lists of the books I've read following each month, just to help myself stay on track.

My second reading resolution is to start taking notes to help my reviews. When I'm reading, I'll usually mentally note things that I want to bring up in my reviews, but I'll forget them nine times out of ten. Hopefully this will let me write more specific reviews quicker.

I'm pretty content with the number of books I've read -- I'm not exactly sure, but I've read 82 since the beginning of June, and I believe I read at least 18 before then, which put me over 100.

My other resolution is to keep up with the challenges I signed up for! As a reminder, they are:
1st in a Series -- hosted by Royal Reviews
2nd Read Challenge -- hosted by Royal Reviews
YA Reading Challenge -- hosted by J. Kaye
Support Your Library -- hosted by J. Kaye
100+ Books -- hosted by J. Kaye

*EDIT January 31* Another new challenge that looked interesting: New Author Challenge hosted by Literary Escapism.
Happy new year, everyone!
