2018 IN REVIEW
Wow, 2018 has been such a spectacular year in so many ways! My blog has continued to grow which has been so wonderful. I would have never guessed that my blog would be getting 10,000 views a year – that’s 10,000 time I’ve been able to share my love for books with people around the world!
Total Books Read: 92 – I started out with a goal of 80 a totally surpassed that!
Total Pages Read: 40,578 (Goodreads)
Average Length: 441 pages
I read almost exclusively fantasy this year with a mere smattering of sci-fi and mystery/thrillers thrown in and a single non-fiction book (that I counted).
2019 GOALS
My goals are honestly pretty basic, but that also means they should be easy to achieve.
Read 80 Books – I’m keeping this the same as 2018 since it wasn’t a stressful goal to meet.
Read a wider variety of genres – Like I said, I read almost exclusively fantasy, but there are SO MANY other great books that I’m missing out on! I plan on reading more sci-fi, mysteries/thrillers, and even non-fiction. I’ve even enjoyed crime fiction in the past, so anything is possible!
Keep Up With Reviews! – I’ve been behind on reviews for MONTHS. I tend to read faster than I write reviews simply because I typically enjoy reading more than writing. Sometimes I have writers block and feel like I’m just repeating myself endlessly and other times I have bursts of writerly inspiration and crank out several reviews in a row.

Congrats on hitting 92 books! I’m tempted to up my GR goal but I don’t like the pressure of being behind. We’ll see! Good luck in 2019😁

I thought about bumping mine to 90, but I didn’t want to feel like I had to rush through books to meet my own goal!

That average page number per book is nice! You are obviously reading some hefty books 😀
Keep up the good work. And I hope you can get a good review groove going on too.

I was surprised the average page count was that high!

If writing reviews feel like *work* (((insert horrified scream))) you could try with short ones, so they will not feel like you’re stealing time from reading: that way you will still get the best of both worlds… 🙂
Happy 2019!

Hahaha I definitely have a couple books that are getting mini reviews if they get a review at all!
