bookishresolution2017

The first challenge I will be participating in is the 2016 Bookish Resolutions Challenge, hosted by Laura @ trips down imagination lane and Michelle @ Because Reading. The challenge runs from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2017 and you can sign up here before 1st March 2017.

My 2017 resolutions are:

Reading Goals:
  • Get my Netgalley ratio up to 80% and maintain
    • January - 73%
    • February - 76% (I'm right on track so far, though I did request a couple this month)
  • Reach a Goodreads goal of 75 books
    • January - 9
    • February - 15 (so happy with this, but I'm feeling my reading slow down at the moment)
  • Read 30 physical books I own
    • January - 1
    • February - 3 (not great, but COYER finishes this week so II'm going to read lots of physical books next month)
  • Read 10 Classics
    • January - 0
    • February - 0 (still no progress, but I'm not too worried yet)
  • Reread 5 books
    • January - 0
    • February - 0 (again, I'm not too worried about this one yet)
  • Get my TBR under 400 books (starting point of 432 books)
    • January - 426
    • February 415 (I had a slight purge this month...)
Blogging Goals
  • Keep Review List page up to date
    • January - Yep
    • February - Yep

    • January - 15
    • February - 12
  • Blog ahead 6 weeks
    • January - 2 weeks 
    • February - 0 weeks (I have no idea what happened!)
Personal Goals
  • Get my own place
    • January - December - I'm actually going to keep this secret until I know something is actually happening. I don't want to jinx anything.
  • Lose half a stone
    • January - lost 2 1/2 lb so far!
    • February - gained 2 1/2 lb... well that sucks! Back to where I started already!

The second challenge I want to participate in is the 2017 Reading Assignment Challenge hosted by Berls @ Fantasy is More Fun and Michelle @ Because Reading. Sign up is open until 1st July 2017. I'm hoping this will help me reduce the number of physical books I have still to read.

This year I'm aiming for level 1 so 12 books and 1 book a month. These are the books I plan to read over the year:

Odd and the Frost GiantsQuidditch Through the Ages (Hogwarts Library)The Tales of Beedle the BardStatus Update (#gaymers, #1)
Misled (Carnal Thirst, #1)Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find ThemOh Myyy!Coraline
William Shakespeare's The Phantom of Menace (William Shakespeare's Star Wars, #1)Peter PanThe Ocean at the End of the LaneCasino Royale (James Bond #1)
