I’m always hesitant to do a “goals” post, because my interest in reading goals & challenges usually drops off over time, or I forget that I’m even supposed to be doing challenges. But I thought I’d throw out a few goals I think I can manage, and I’ll try to do periodic updates to make […]
As we all know by now, 2019 is half over (gasp). As bloggers, we can look at this two ways: either the glass is half full or it’s half empty. Or in other words, “I still have six months to read all the 2019 books I can” versus “I can’t believe I’ve read less than […]
Since we’ve technically just passed the first quarter of 2018, I thought it would be fun to see where I am in regards to the reading challenges I’ve set forth for myself this year. I’m very casual with challenges, as I don’t want them to stress me out, but so far this year I’m doing […]
‘Tis the season for making promises I won’t be able to keep! I mean, let’s start the new year off on a positive note! I’m not very good at sticking to reading challenges for an entire year, but I always get excited in the beginning of the year anyway. This year is no exception. I’m […]
As I have in the past couple of years, I’ve joined Worlds Without End’s 2017 Women of Genre Fiction Reading Challenge. I’m hoping to read twenty-four books by new-to-me women authors in the genres of science fiction and fantasy. I thought I’d do a quick “end of the first quarter” check-in to see how it’s […]
Other than my normal Goodreads challenge, the only other reading challenge I’m doing this year is Worlds Without End’s 2016 Women of Genre Fiction Reading Challenge, and since we’re at the half-way mark in 2016, I thought it would be a good idea to see where I am. The rules are to read SFF fiction by […]
I’ve learned over the past few years that reading challenges, in general, just aren’t my thing. Like many readers, I tend to forget about them a few months into the year, and so I’ve mostly given up on them. EXCEPT for two. The first is, of course, Goodreads. Say what you will about being stressed […]
I’m pretty excited about this upcoming challenge! Netgalley Knockout is hosted by Christen at Goldilox and the Three Weres, and is a three-month-long reading challenge where you can catch up on all your NetGalley and Edelweiss review copies. Boy do I need this challenge! I mean, I have to read them anyway, so what better […]
I have to admit, I’m a newbie when it comes to reading challenges. I’ve never done one before! So what does one do to remedy that situation? Why, sign up for four reading challenges! Yep, I’ve done it now…I’m committing myself to four different challenges (one of them being my own) for 2013. I think […]
It’s almost the end of the year, and for book bloggers that means taking stock of your reading accomplishments and thinking about goals for the coming year. It also means feeling remorseful about all the wonderful books that you just didn’t get to. Since I started blogging, I’ve had to pass up reading dozens of […]
