Bookish Resolution Three: Complete a darn reading challenge.
I suck at reading challenges. My blog, Under the Covers has being doing the Romance Roundabout challenge for (I think) 3 years; I have yet to complete it. Which is crazy when you consider that I created it! This year, we are bidding adieu to the Romance Roundabout and instead have created Romanceopoly, our new fun annual challenge. I can feel it, 2019 is going to be my year and I will finally complete a yearly challenge.
To make sure I am a finisher I have even planned all the book I am going to read. This has two advantages: One, it means that I have a better chance at completing Romanceopoly. Two, whilst planning I have purposefully incorporated Bookish Resolution One and Two. So, I’m prepared, I’m ready…what could possibly go wrong!?

Bookish Resolution Four: Take my time and make some time
Time is such an issue for me. I seem to have so little of it! I’m dashing about for work, for the blog, for university…it’s insane. This year I am making what may sound like a really strange bookish resolution: read less books.
In 2018 I read about 250 books, nearly all of which was full length – I didn’t read many novellas. It’s a lot of books. Were all of them 4 stars or above? No, they weren’t, in fact a majority were 3 stars or less. So, this year I am making myself some time and doing a bit of a cull. Any series I kinda like but don’t love, I will consider not continuing. Any book I start to read but am not connecting with, I will stop reading.
For me, it’s about quality and not quantity of books. If I read 150 books rated 4 and 5 stars, I will consider it a very successful year. It seems harsh, but a gals gotta sleep!
These are my bookish resolutions for 2019. I will be concentrating on reading more of what I love and more of what I already have. I can’t wait to get started!
