As 2016 will be the first time I start the New year with a blog, I've decided to participate in a few challenges.
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 2016 to 31st December 2016 and you can sign up here before 1st March 2016.
My 2016 resolutions are:
Bookish resolutions
- Get Netgalley ratio up to 80%
- Read 20 physical books I already owned prior to 1st January
- Reread 5 books
- Finish 6 series
- Reach my Goodreads goal this year (65 books)
- Finish updating all blog posts to current layout
- Visit 4 blogs a week (not including memes)
- Blog ahead - get to at least 6 weeks ahead
- Start going to the gym again
- Start learning Spanish again
As this is my first year participating in this challenge and I'm wanting to read more books that I already own, I'm going to set my goal as New Release Pro so 16-30 books.
As this is also my first year participating in this challenge (and I don't know how well I'll do reading from a set list), 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:
The fourth, and final, challenge is the 2016 TBR Pile Reading Challenge hosted by Evie @ Bookish Lifestyle. The aim is to read as many books (published in or berfore 2015) from your TBR as possible. Sign up is open until 31 November 2016.
I'm going to set my goal at A Friendly Hug so 11 to 20 books.

Nice goals for the challenges, Lauren! Good luck!

ReplyDeleteCan you use a book for multiple challenges? Not sure how else anyone would be able to do more than one challenge at a time. I ask because I'm looking at getting into some challenges this next year, not to discourage you.
ReplyDeleteOften you can, unless there's a rule that stipulates you can't.

Deletenice choices. good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteI wish you luck, I am signed up for 16 Challenges, and am going to sign up for 4 more!! Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I don't think I could handle that many, I'll just need to see how I do with these ones.
DeleteGood luck! I'm also signed up with Bookish Lifestyle's TBR challenge. I hadn't done one since 2014, so I'm looking forward to participating. This year I'll be posting bookcover images on my Instagram :)
