I have done this now for the past three years and have been decently successful with it.. This year I have set a lot of goals for myself and really want to throw myself back into the book community and blogging world. The past year off has left me wanting so much from books because I have missed the atmosphere and love of books.
♠ Read at least 100 books. I have a challenge I have created for myself and its the year I take on some completed series. [ I have had a great start to my year and have already read 6 books]
♠ Read and Complete 6 Series. This goes along with the challenge I have am creating. There are so many out that I have yet to pick up and its crazy. [I have completed one series so far this year out of the millions I want to complete check it out at series serial reader!]
♠ Read at least three daunting books. This is a repeat from last year.I feel like I am always so intrigued and interested in the huge books, but never get around to reading them because they are intimidating. (I am counting this as over 500 pages.) [I have not gotten there yet, but I have gotten close with RoseBlood which was a big book!]
♠ Read 45 books from my TBR. I just recently moved and don’t have my books. I have been going to the library and with that it give way to an endless array of books. I really want to make sure I am still reading books that I had actually purchased. [I have been able to read 2 books from my TBR so far!]
♠ Read at least 5 Non-Fiction Books. I started doing this last year and really enjoyed it. I love learning more and I have a lot I am interested in. [I have a whole long list of non-fiction books I want to complete this year (If this list is something people would like to see I will post it!) I have been able to complete 1 so far and it was amazing!]
♠ Start New Blog Series. I really want to work harder on developing my blog. There are many things I participate in that are created by other bloggers and I really want to come up with something that is completely my own and get others involved in! [I have a complete different things in the works!]
What are some of your 2017 goals/resolutions?

I want to read more non-fiction too this year! I feel like I’ve been letting that slide for a while now. I already made it easy for myself and read We Should All Be Feminists. It’s only 40 pages, so it was exactly the right thing to get back into that genre.
I really like how you quantify your goals. It makes them so much easier to track! I’m also looking to read 100 books this year! I tried last year but the last quarter of the year I fell into a reading slump where I just wanted to reread my old favorites and I didn’t want to read any new books. I’ve gotten through it through and I’ve also started out the year strong so fingers crossed! Good luck with your goals!
