Hey Guys!!
I know this is a little late, but better late than never! I have a few videos up about my bookish goals for 2015, but I wanted to make a blog post about it as well.
The first of these goals is my Goodreads goal. In 2014 my goal 20 books and I surpassed that by reading 31 books! This was a great accomplishment for me considering the past few years I've only been able to read ten or less books because of school. So for 2015 I decided to make my goal 35 books! However, I do plan on bumping this up if need be. It's January 15th and I've already read 6 books and am in the middle of 3 others. Overall I gave myself a 20,000 page goal. I am keeping track of this goal via a Google doc spreadsheet.
The next of my goals is to work on my owned TBR. I'm going to be participating in Project TBR and #0by16.
Project TBR is a year long project that Benjamin, from benjaminoftomes, started. The basic idea of this year long project is to have your TBR be smaller at the end of the year than it is at the beginning. Overall I'd like to have my TBR be about half of what it is now, and that includes reading books I am to buy throughout the year. Another goal of this project is to not buy as many books.... cause we all know us book people like buying books.
#0by16 is also a year long project. This idea came from a group of BookTubers, I originally saw it from Max on WellDoneBooks. The idea for this project, or challenge rather, is to get your TBR down to 0 by 2016. I'm going to TRY my hardest to accomplish this but I don't know if it is possible because I would have to read a LOT more than I normally do. But I am going to try! Another way I am manipulating #0by16 is by making my 'Currently Reading' shelf 0 by 2016. I currently have 6 books on this shelf and I want to be able to clear it off and only have one or two at a time.
All that being said, I have about 84 books on my TBR shelves. I have manipulated my TBR by taking some books, the ones I know I won't be getting to this year, and moving them to my bookshelf upstairs. So I am mainly focusing on my main bookshelf (and dresser) in my room. I'd like to get my TBR number down to 40, to do that I will be upping my Goodreads goal quite a bit! :3
The last of my 2015 goals all have to do with specific books and start on specific series.
These are the books I want to read in 2015:
Under the Dome by Stephen King
Stiff: The Curious Lives of the Human Cadaver by Mary Roach
And these are the series I want to read (or at least start on) in 2015:
The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer (complete)
Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs (complete)
Divergent by Veronica Roth (complete)
The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clair (start)
In the Woods by Tana French (start)
Dexter by Jeff Lindsey (start)
Alex Cross by James Patterson (start)
