This weeks Top Ten Tuesday topic hosted by Broke and Bookish is Top Ten Bookish Goal/Resolutions For 2015. I decided to structure this much like my Bookish Bucket list for 2014. This year it is going to be a lot harder for me to actually complete the goals since I will be with very limited internet access for 10 months out of this year. I will also be away from home so I will only have my books on my kindle and if I am able to check out books from the library.
♠ Read at least 45 books. Although I did read over 100 books this year, I have an extremely busy schedule this next year and don’t know if I will have much free time. I also don’t want to pressure myself. So if I exceed this amount then that will be great.
♠ Complete Anna Karenina. This was on my bucket list for last year and I did not accomplish it. I started it a few years ago and got half way through it and decided at the end of this year that I need to start from the beginning. It was suggested to me to try listening to it on audiobook, but I am determined to finish it.
♠ Keep up with reviews. I know that I said I wont have much internet access and with that comes a unfortunate hiatus from my blog. I will have some prescheduled post (hopefully), but I want to make sure whenever I get the chance I update the blog and keep the reviews written out so when I get the to use the internet it will be all ready.
♠ Read more classics. There are so many I own and I am interested in, but always choose other books over them.
♠ Keep my book purchasing to sequels. I do not think this will be much of a problem since I will be away from home and not have a place to put purchased books.
♠ Finish the Harry Potter series. I know I am one of the only people left in the world who hasn’t read these books. I did start them this year and have read through book four.
♠ Catch up on review book. I feel horrible that I have been offered the opportunity by some authors to read and review their books and haven’t gotten around to some of them. This is one of my top priorities.
♠ Figure out a new set-up/blog posts/features. I really want to work harder on developing my blog. I have done a lot of work since I first started this blog and I really want something that depicts my personality and is unique.
♠ Read at least three daunting books. 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 550 pages.
♠ Read up all/or a majority of the works by one author. I feel like I read books by so many authors, but I rarely read more than one (even if I own them) because I have such a wide taste that I dabble in everything. Although thats great I would love to be more aquatinted with several authors and their works.
What are some of your 2015 goals/resolutions?

I’m curious to what your ten month adventure away from home entails, and even with limited internet access I look forward to reading your posts! Have fun and I’m sure you’ll manage a balance! 🙂 My TTT
Oooh… a 10 month adventure?! Sounds epic! I’m also looking to read more classics this year. I look forward to your posts in 2015! here’s my TTT: http://shereadssheblogs.com/2014/12/29/4105/

I really love your resolutions! 🙂 You’ve got some great, achievable goals. I’m trying to develop the content on my blog this year too. Spice it up a little! I hope you achieve your goals.
Great set of goals. I need to read more classics as well. I have so many on my TBR, but I keep getting distracted by newer releases.
A really lovely set of goals. I need to read more classics too! I love reading them but didn’t really get around to it this year.
Awesome Goals!! I want to read all of an author too!!! It’s hard not to get caught up in teh hype of new shiny books even when you have so many already!! Check out my
TTT
I’m with you in feeling terrible whenever I win giveaways or get accepted for arc requests–only to be distracted by other reads (time and time again). Ahhh, I’m so bad.
I’m sure you could tailor a new feature with your adventure into elsewhere. Perhaps that’s a starting point that may lead somewhere.
Cheers,

Nice list! I really can’t wait until you read HP5, it’s my favorite one!
Your year does sound exciting! I love the challenge to complete some “daunting” books. That’s the perfect name for that kind of reading! I have been wanting to complete War & Peace for years but always get bogged down and abandon. SIGH.
