Some quick 2017 stats
I read over 60% women authors, and i'm really happy with that. I calculated number of pages read twice and got slightly different numbers...but close to 24,000 both times for an average of about 66 pages a day. I read 47 kindle books and 53 physical books. My average rating for the year was 3.88, I read a lot of good books this year!
Goals for 2018!
In terms of reading i'm hoping to read 104 books or more this year, with 104 being an average of 2 a week. But mostly I do want to keep reading as a fun hobby, I just want to expand my reading horizons and read a lot of good books this year! But if that becomes stressful, the number, i'll just lower it, no big deal.
I want to read a wide range of different kinds of books as i'm interested in so many things! Also, no more tbr's! Except in the case of read-a-thons. This will let me participate in more read-a-thons, challenges, group reads etc.! I just got into graphic novels last year and read 24, and I fell in love with them! So I want to read even more this year. I want to read a few books by Stephen King. I want to be more of a mood reader as well as let myself re-read books. I want to maybe hopefully finish the complete book of Grimm's fairy-tales...hopefully.
Besides books I want to watch more shows i'm interested in, like re-watching Buffy because it's been awhile. Watching some of the stuff I have in my list on netflix. Watch some movies because there are so many I want to watch and never do, maybe at least 1-2 a month. I want to get into drawing and practice. I want to play some video games i've been meaning too but keep putting off. And I want to be more consistent with blogging and making youtube/booktube videos. For blogging i'd like to post at least once a week on Thursdays (EST) in addition to any extra stuff I may do. Also use Instagram more.
In regards to reviews I stopped reviewing every book I read on here in 2017...maybe I could get back to that? I do now post them in full on Goodreads too minus the stats, and I figured if it was something short why bother posting here? But...who cares if some are reviews are shorter? It's difficult for example to write a long review for a comic book. But that doesn't mean the review isn't worth anything. Who knows but I will have monthly wrap-up posts at the end of each month (well, probably posted early the next month but you know what I mean) that will include all the books I read that month with links to their reviews, videos I posted on my booktube channel, talk about whatever shows and movies I watched that month as well as video games played. Other odds and ends too like maybe I read some fanfiction that month, or talk about drawing progress, as well as link any miscellaneous posts I did that month. Of course it will also have stats like number of pages read and average rating.
I do have a planner for this year, first year i'm using a planner, so hopefully that'll help a lot!
I'm hoping for an awesome 2018! What do you think of these plans? What are your plans for 2018?

Ooh that's an epic selection of books you read! Congrats on that amazing amount too and I hope you have a great time with your reading this year. :D I'm also keen to do more art this year and maybe watch a bit more TV?! It's a great way to relax but also refill the creative tank so I hope you get to dot hat. And good luck with your planner!! I tried one last year but kept forgetting to write in it. So much fail for me.😂😂
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D Lol, my planner has been working for me so far, it looks messy but it's working :)
