A new year and a few new goals for my blog, my reading, and myself. I don’t know about you, but I love setting goals for myself. I find it motivating and I am always excited to see if I hit them at the end of the year. For now I am going to share the goals I have for my blog and reading in the new year.
- Update my blog post headers
- I loved designing so I want to introduce a few new headers and give myself that time to be creative.
- Read 50 books
- Every year I set my reading goal at 50. It is an average of a book in little over a week and I tend to not stress out about it.
- Read 30,000 pages
- I though this page goal would be fun.
- Try new things
- This year I want to experiment a little outside of what I normally post, spice things up a little bit.
- Complete the 2018 POPSUGAR reading challenge
What goals do you have for yourself this year?

The only goal that is definite at this post not for me is my Goodreads reading challenge goal. I want to try and read 100 books this year.

That sounds like a good goal. It is a good amount, but very doable 🙂

Thanks!! I’ve never read that many books in one year before but I thought since I read 80 something in 2017 that just maybe 100 would be doable for me.

I wouldn’t doubt you. That is less than a book a day. 🙂

I hope I can do it. I’m not going to pressure myself to reach it or anything but if I do it would be cool.

Yay I wish you luck with all of your goals for this year!! Question – what do you use to design your headers? I need to work on mine, I have been a bit lazy but I never know what to use.

I haven’t set any strict reading goals for the first quarter of my year. I did keep my Goodreads challenge at 55 and want to read more nonfiction.

I love non-fiction reads. What type are you thinking about reading? Event, person, time period?

I was thinking I’d like to start with events or time periods first and from there move on to persons. Anything Asia related would be nice. Or since I’m currently reading The Red Queen by Philippa Gregory, anything related to that time period.
Actually I’m happy for any recommendations you have. What are some of your best reads?

Regrettably I have not read anything that was not a text book that were related to Asian history and are very heavy reads, but I have quite a lot of non-fiction I have liked a lot. Which are more narrative style than fact throwing.
