T5W 2018 Reading Resolutions

T5W (Top 5 Wednesday) is a Goodreads group. Each week there are topics to discuss. This week the topic is to discuss our Reading Resolutions.

So here are my Top 5 Reading Resolutions for 2018


5. Reread more

I have so many books that I have loved in years past and I want to make an effort to reread some of my old favorites and see how they stand against the test of time.

4. Be a more critical reader.

Reading is what I do to relax. I love that books can take me out of this world and help me to deal with my anxious thoughts. In 2018 I am hoping to become more critical and think about the books I am reading in a way that I can make more informed reviews.

3. Read from different genres.

I think as readers we all have those certain genres that we lean to when picking out our next read. For me those are Historical Fiction and Fantasy. I want to branch out in the year 2018 and try reading something from every genre. I am hoping that my Popsugar Challenge will hep me with this.

2. Keep track of the diversity of the books I am reading.

I don't really pay attention to the diversity of the authors I am reading which isn't really a big deal but I feel like I lean towards authors who write about characters who are like me more often than not. I want to try and keep track of the gender and race of the authors I am reading and see how diverse the characters in their stories are. ( Hopefully this makes sense. In my head it does)

1. Read at least 20 mins everyday.

This is something that I normally accomplish but I want to keep better track of if I am actually reading everyday. I am going to be using the Bookout app to help me complete this goal.


What are some of your Reading Resolutions for 2018. Lets talk in the comments.

Love always,
Missy

T5W Forgettable Books

T5W  (Top 5 Wednesday) is a Goodreads group. Each week there are topics to discuss. This week the topic is to discuss our Forgettable Books. Here are my Top 5 Most Forgettable Books For this topic I am going to be discussing books that I loved but I don't remember anything about them. 5. Zodiac by Romina Russell I remember that this book has something to do with the zodiac sign and there is space ships but other than that I don't really remember much about it. I remember loving it when I was reading it though so I think a theme we are going to see here is that these are books I need to reread. 4. Graceling by Kristin Cashore I remember that the main character has two different colored eyes and that is because she has special powers. What those powers are and what else the story is about I couldn't tell you. 3. The Baker's Memory by Emily Echols This is a book written by someone I actually know and I feel really bad that I don't remember mor...
