Top Ten Goals/Resolutions For 2014

Top Ten Goals/Resolutions For 2014

January 7, 2014 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 10 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday 1

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Goals/Resolutions For 2014  (bookish, not bookish or a blend)

This week I did a blend of bookish and blog  goals/resolutions.  It was hard to get 10 but I tried my best and only came up with 9, but oh well . I hope by the end of the year they are fulfilled.

1. Read 50 Books – Reach my goal at the end of the year of reading 50 books as part of the goodreads reading challenge.
The Challenge last from the 1st of January to the 31st of December.

2. Catch up with reviews – I am really behind on reviews, like you wouldn’t believe. So by the end of the year I don’t have any reviews to write expect the ones that I read in December, even then try and keep the number small as possible.

3.  Read the books on my tbr shelf – My to be read shelf at the moment is 26 books long and that is not including the books on my kobo and my books on my kindle app. By the end of the year I want to have at least read half of them if not more

4. Finish Series – I have started alot of series, especially in 2013 and I really want to finish them or at least read up to what books have been published. You can check out my finished series here 

5.  Make Pre-Post – I don’t think that I am lazy but I don’t really make pre-post, I just write up the post before I am going to publish it. The thing is I can go a few days with out writing a post, a review just anything, I just don’t have the stamina to write them but then out of no where mostly at 11 o’clock at night I start writing heaps of post.  So I really want to be able just to make post before they are meant to up, especially with me going into year 12 this year.

6. Read and comment on more reviews – I read and comment on alot of post that other bloggers post about, but I just never seem to have time to read the reviews. That is why this year I want to read and comment on as many reviews that I can. I know that I don’t get alot of comments on my reviews and that goes for alot of people so I want to be able to make someone smile when I comment on their review.

7. Do a better job and NetGallery – I request way too many books on NetGallery then end up not even reading them which means I don’t even review them. I really want to get my ration up to scratch

8. Don’t Buy a book ever time I go to the shops – Everytime that I go to the shops I end up buying at least 1 book, I can’t just stop myself, they just look at me and scream ‘BUY ME’ I have to stop giving in.

9. Read Big Books – I have so many ‘Big Books’ sitting on my shelf and I am just always to scared to pick them up, which is wired because I have read big books before. So I really want to read them. They are books that I want to read, they have been sitting my shelf for a bit too.

 So that is my Top Ten Nine Goals/Resolutions for 2104. What are your goals for 2014.

    Oh, I have so much trouble with pre-posts. I’m trying to start them, but it’s like you said. Posting requires stamina. I have to have a book ready to review or something to discuss, and then I have to have the mind power to properly review or discuss said topic in a professional yet personal way. Then there’s all the formatting and marketing the post, etc.

    And I get that so much. I mostly comment on discussion posts. I need to comment on more reviews.

    And I’m definitely working on my TBR pile this year! I’m too scared to count the books in it, but I’m guessing it’s a scary number.

    Good luck with you goals!

      yes I have so many books that I need to review but sometimes I just don’t feel like reviewing any of them, because if I did like the book I know the review won’t do it justice to what I feel.

      I counted mind and nearly had a heart attack I don’t even want to look at my kobo and my kindle app, there is way to many on them.

      Thank you and thank you for stopping by 🙂

    This is a great list of things to set out to do this year. I’ve just started my blog and I’m having trouble with reviews. I’ve written some before, but the words just aren’t coming to me. I’ve been trying to do the pre-post thing, but it just hasn’t been working.

    Good luck with these.

    I am trying to pre-post my posts too. Writing posts up at 11PM was stressing me out last year!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!

I just had a really good start to the year. While February is a little slow so far I’m looking forward to what I can pick up.
