Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme where every Tuesday we look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) bookish examples to demonstrate that particular topic.  Top Ten Tuesday (created and hosted by  The Broke and Bookish) is now being hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and future week’s topics can be found here.   This week’s topic:

Bookish Goals for 2024

Well, I’m not very good with goals as a rule but I’ll keep this simple and see how I get on.

1. I’d like to get back to reading 100 books a year.  This has never felt like a challenge for me as a rule as I usually read a couple of books a week, but, the last couple of years my reading has slumped a little because of circumstances going on around me.  At the moment I’m really enjoying my reading and blogging again so hopefully that will continue going from strength to strength.
2. I’d like to take part in Bookforager’s Picture Prompt challenge.  I love the look of this but keep missing out – this will be the year.
3. After having such a terrible start to the year last year I have a backlog of review books – believe me when I say this makes me feel very guilty.  I’d like to make a dint into some of those earlier books from the start of 2023.  Let’s see – perhaps I need a list!  Lists are good.  I like a good list.
4. I’d like to listen to a few more audio books.  I already have a few lined up in my library and I’m hoping that I can listen to a couple of books a month.  In fact, I’ve used some of my credits to pick up audio books that fall into No.3 above so maybe I can complete two resolutions in one.
5. I would love to improve my statistics on Netgalley.  At the moment my feedback is about 73/74%.  I’d like that to rise up to 80.  Of course, I’ve reviewed a lot of books and so just to move up by 1% involves quite a lot of reading.  Let’s see how this goes.
6. In line with the above I’m going to continue to be careful about requesting books.  Of course, whenever I see all the books pop up I get a bit giddy but I need to be sensible.  Slap those grabby hands.
7. I already read quite a few self published books, especially with the intake of books from SPFBO, but I’d like to read a few more.  In that respect I have a couple of books lined up that I’m really looking forward to.  More regarding that to follow.
8. My blogging buddies – I fell behind with chatting with everyone last year.  I miss that and I have been gradually starting to re engage.  I need to carry on with that.
9. Read more of my own books.  I know – I’m always banging on about this and it never happens.  Must try harder.
10. Get more organised!  Come on woman, you can do it.
