Every Tuesday over at the The Broke and Bookish we all get to look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or ten) examples to demonstrate that particular topic. For our final TTT for 2015 the topic is:
Top Ten Resolutions We Have For 2016
Without further ado my resolutions are:
- No resolutions (this is going to be a very quick post!). Kidding. But seriously, I’m not making resolutions because I’m frankly so bad at keeping them and I hate feeling guilty!
- I’m going to go with ‘good intentions’ instead.
- Try to finish one book per month from my backburn books.
- I have no good intentions about book buying – it’s my secret (or not so secret) little pleasure and life is too short. So what if I have a TBR that needs to be cordoned off for safety’s sake! I like my books and they have all come to a very good home. My good intention here is to carry on as always.
- I will attempt to finish one of my series per month – I have a very long list of unfinished series which amazes me because I’m always reading! What gives? In actual fact by combining (No3) and (N05) I could kill two birds with one stone! – Be aware that no actual birds will be harmed in the completion of this ‘good intention’.
- I shall attempt to be a nice and not at all envious blogger – this is one of those good intentions that has a slim chance – but, I will try! You shouldn’t all keep having such good books and flirting them before my eyes. Yes, it makes me pea green with envy. There it is. I shall try to be a lesser shade of green in the future.
- I have a spreadsheet and I’m not afraid to use it. Well not very much afraid. I’ve entered my books. There will be organisation! There will be dates planned in advance – ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahaha haha…
- This is a good intention that I’m currently working on – to read more Sci fi as I focus very much on fantasy (not a bad thing at all I hasten to add) but I like to be a bit more all encompassing. So, with that in mind I’m joining in with The 2016 Sci Fi Experience over at Stainless Steel Droppings and also Vintage Sci Fi over at Little Red Reviewer.
- Also, another good intention – I’m joining in with lots of lovely readalongs – one that has just started for Kushiel’s Scion – details here if you want to hop on board, Rosemary and Rue which starts this weekend (details here) and a few up and coming readalongs as the year progresses.
- My final good intention is something that I can’t possibly fail at – to read lots of lovely books and to converse with all you lovely people about your favourites.
To good intentions!
