Happy Saturday! Today, I am sharing my 2019 reading challenges final update and the goals I have for 2020! Here are all the challenges I did this year and my goals for the new year!
2. Finish Writing Camelot Anew: NOT COMPLETE
I have made a ton of progress on this novel but I still haven't finished it.
5. Write Two Book Reviews a Month: NOT COMPLETE
I managed to write quite a few book reviews this year but I still had trouble writing two a month as book reviews take forever to write. However, I'm looking to do better in the new year.
6. Keep 80% on NetGalley: COMPLETE
I managed to keep 80% on NetGalley in 2019 even though it did fluctuate some.
2019 BOOKISH AND WRITING GOALS WRAP-UP
1. Read 75 Books: COMPLETE
I did complete this goal! I managed to read 82 books this year. I set my Goodreads challenge lower than in previous years, and I am glad that I still managed to surpass my goal.
I have made a ton of progress on this novel but I still haven't finished it.
3. Try to Post at Least Once a Week: NOT COMPLETE
I am still trying to get on a blogging schedule that works for me but it's still hard.
4. Read 5-6 Books a Month: COMPLETE
I did manage to complete this for most of the months so I am considering it a goal that I completed. Reading five books a month isn't too hard for me
5. Write Two Book Reviews a Month: NOT COMPLETE
I managed to write quite a few book reviews this year but I still had trouble writing two a month as book reviews take forever to write. However, I'm looking to do better in the new year.
6. Keep 80% on NetGalley: COMPLETE
I managed to keep 80% on NetGalley in 2019 even though it did fluctuate some.
2020 BOOKISH AND WRITING GOALS
1. Read 75 Books
I am putting my Goodreads Challenge at 75 books again! It should be manageable as I surpassed 75 books last year.
2. Finishing Writing a Novel
I haven't finished writing a full novel yet and that has been a goal of mine for awhile. I am very determined to actually finish one in 2020.
3. Keep a Feedback Ratio of 80% on NetGalley
I've done pretty well with NetGalley over the past couple of years and I am trying to keep my feedback ratio at 80% as it gives me a better chance of getting the books I request.
4. Reread Five Or More Books
I don't usually make time for rereading books but I love re-reading books that I've loved and getting to relive the book. I do, usually reread a couple books a year, but I like the idea of making this a goal.
5. Write Two Book Reviews A Month
I want to try and write two book reviews a month because I am very bad at writing reviews and I need to get better at it. After all, part of the point of having a book blog is to write book reviews.
6. Keep My Bookstagram Up
I admit that I've slacked a lot on my bookstagram and haven't posted in quite awhile. I want to try and post at least once a week on my bookstagram. I also am very bad at taking photos, so I have to work on that.
