Hooray for 2017 bookish friends! Happy New Years Eve (or happy New Year, depending on where you’re located)! I love getting to move on to a new year. It feels like there’s so much opportunity, you know? A whole new year to do whatever you want to do and be whoever you want to be! Hooray! December was kind to me, though admittedly it was a little slow in the reading department. Let’s sum it all up.

Books Read in December

the rook, eleanor and park, tatiana and alexander, heartless, the song rising

I didn’t get a lot of books read, but I really enjoyed all the books that I did read… well, other than Geek Love (not pictured), which I didn’t finish because I was not enjoying the audiobook at all. Review for Heartless is here. The reviews for the rest of them will be coming up in the next few weeks!

My Bookish Resolutions for 2017
  1. Blog a little less. Being a relatively new book blogger, I am still trying to figure out that work-blog-life balance. I need to incorporate a little bit more life into that mix, so I won’t be as frantic about getting reviews up ASAP or posting three times weekly. Maybe just twice weekly? Or sometimes – gasp – just once.
  2. Read more classics! I have so many classics that I want to read. I’m hoping to read 10-15 next year. We’ll see how I do.
  3. Read more advanced copies. Part of my privilege as a book blogger is that I can read advance copies of books and (hopefully, if I like it) help promote it. I want to make sure I do my part as a blogger and read more early releases! I’m shooting small: maybe 5-10?
