2018 Blogging and Reading Goals


Hi friends, and welcome to 2018! This year I have sat down and really thought about what I want this year to look like. I have made some goals that will hopefully make reading a bigger part of my life and help improve my blog!

Here are my goals for 2018:

Blogging

  • I want to implement and keep a more consistent posting schedule. 
    • To begin with, I think I will be posting each Tuesday at 12 pm. Tune in then to see what I'm up to! 
  • Network more in the blogging community and make more bookish friends. 
    • I made this blog so that I could make some friends that love to read as much as I do, so this year I want to make an effort to be more active in the blogging community and on Twitter to make some friends! 
  • Manage my time better in school, so that I can make better content for my blog.

Reading
  • Read 25 books! I upped my Goodreads reading goal this year from 20 books (which I completed, yay!) to 25 books. I'm excited to challenge myself a little bit, and to up my reading goal each year! 
  • Read more frequently and make reading a daily habit
    • I want to take better care of myself this year and allow myself to relax and enjoy doing the things I love to do- like reading!
    • I am also going to be doing the #Readuary challenge by Monica Watson! Here is her YouTube video that explains it all if you want to join in as well! Super exciting!
  • Read all the unread books on my shelves
    • I have 13 books that I have yet to read on my shelves. I know it isn't THAT many books, but I still would like to read all of them to get down to no unread books! I've never had no unread books, so I think it would be really awesome to get to that goal! 


What are some goals you have for 2018? Leave them down in the comments!
Here's to an awesome 2018! Thanks for reading!

Book Club Review: The Tattooist of Auschwitz

Hi, friends! This past month I have had the pleasure of joining the Book Club along with a wonderful group of girls. I am so excited to be able to participate in this book club because it has always been a dream of mine to be in a book club! I think they are just so cool!  This month we all decided to read The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris as our September pick, and it was so good. This book is beautiful, heart-breaking, courageous, and harrowing all at the same time.  Title: The Tattooist of Auschwitz Author: Heather Morris Pages: 272 Publisher: Harper Paperbacks Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Synopsis: In April 1942, Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew, is forcibly transported to the concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Fall Wrap Up

Hi, friends! I can't believe the ending of another season is already here! I haven't read a ton of books this season, but the ones that I did read, I have really enjoyed! I am excited to share the books I read this fall with you! Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I listened to this book on audio book, and I absolutely loved it! I have heard so much about this book for so long that I finally decided to pick it up myself, and I am so glad I did. I loved getting to see this very unique perspective on all the fairy tales we heard growing up. This story is so imaginative, and I love the world, and worlds, that Seanan McGuire brings to life in this novel. Every one of the characters is so unique and special to the story that I couldn't help but to love all of them!  The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I read this book as a part of a the book bloggers book club that began in September! This book was a beautiful, true story of two

My Favorite Books of 2017

2017 has flown by, but not without leaving behind some really awesome books. This year as a whole has been a more challenging one for me, but I did read a few books that have stuck with me along the way. In case you want to check them out yourself, I will have each one linked to where you can buy them! Here is my list of books that have stayed with me and left an impression this year: A List of Cages by Robin Roe Amazon I loved this book so much! I borrowed this book from the library, and I so wish I could have kept it! I gave this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars. The Unbound by Victoria Schwab Amazon The first book I ever read by Victoria Schwab was The Archived, and I loved it! This was the equally fantastic sequel that I read this year. I gave this book a five out of five stars. The only thing I wish is that THE PUBLISHER WOULD LET HER WRITE THE THIRD BOOK!! Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys Amazon Ruta Sepetys is one of my all time favorite authors, so all of h
