My Bookish Year
I've managed to read lots of books this year - 157 - which is the most I've ever read!
Unfortunately quite a few of the books I read this year were disappointing (see this post for more details).
I DNF'd quite a few books but I've decided that I'm not going to continue with a book that I'm not enjoying.
I've made quite a big dent in my to-review pile and my NetGalley ratio is now above 80% whooo!
As well as reading lots of books I've also made progress as an author - I had two short stories accepted in anthologies published by Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly Publishing - After Tomorrow which is now out (shameless plug) and Mystical Bites which is out in March.
My Non-Bookish Year
2014 has been a bit of a mixed year for me - I finally got a job (huzzah!) which has been going well and I passed my driving test but something pretty crappy happened.
So what are my hopes for 2015?
I want to get a job in a field that I actually want to be in (publishing *fingers crossed*).
Which leads to resolutions!
2015 Resolutions!
I don't usually do resolutions and if I do then I never keep them but I thought I'd give it a go.
1. I want to read ALL of the books in my to-review pile so that when I get a book to review I can read it straight away.
2. I want to read more classics - apart from Pride & Prejudice (and Sense, Sensibility & Sea Monsters, which I'm not sure counts) I don't think I've read any.
3. I want to finish at least 3 series off.
4. Finish at least one of my many works in progress.
5. Hold more giveaways.
Have you made any resolutions?
Happy holidays to you all!
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
There will be a new year/blogoversary giveaway coming soon so keep an eye out for that!
Best wishes!
