It's the last day of 2018 and wow is it a grey day! I was hoping for a sunny, wintry day where I could reflect on all my resolutions for next year, but no we have a cloudy, dull and dark day where it's not even that cold. *Sigh* The UK winter is a bit disappointing so far. I do love a crisp winter!
It's the time of year for wrap-ups so today I wanted to do a review of my resolutions and goals for 2018. I always start the year with grand plans, then I inevitably fall short. Let's see how I did :-)
2018 Reading Goals:
- Only achievable challenges ✓ I only did Mr. GingerSnap's challenge so this was easy!
- Read 5 big books ✓ Yes! I did so well at this challenge, I read waaaay more than 5 books.
- Over 10 Penguin English Library titles ✗ Failed utterly at this, I think I read 6...
- Finish Sherlock Holmes ✗ Again, totally failed this one. I read no Sherlock this year.
- 5 books by new authors ✓ Yes! Smashed this one.
Mr. GingerSnap Challenge:
Top 5 Books:
Okay guys, these won't be in order because it was tough enough picking just 5, so bask in that moment and if you want a top 1 - Forget It!!
- Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
- The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden
- Spellslinger by Sebastien de Castell
- Caraval by Stephanie Garber
- The Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock by Imogen Hermes Gowar
2019 Reading Goals:
- Finish 5 book series I've already started
- Read more Brandon Sanderson
- Read 5 books over 700 pages
- Complete a 60 books Goodreads challenge
- Finally read Emma by Jane Austen
Mr. GingerSnap Challenge:
Mr. GingerSnap is setting me a devilishly difficult challenge for next year. He has challenged me to clear my 35 book TBR with the only new books purchased being important new releases I want to blog about! Wish me luck guys, I'm going to need it :-)
How did you get on with your reading goals this year? Got any good resolutions? Let me know your highlights in the comments below :-)
