I think even just making the resolutions puts them at the back of your mind so you're kind of aiming for those goals even when you're not. Make sense? I've loved getting to know you (more? Ugh, I'm horrible at remembering when I started following people) this past year, so I think you're doing everything right! :-)<br /><br />Nicole @ <a href="http://feedyourfictionaddiction.com" rel="nofollow">Feed Your Fiction Addiction</a>Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637114079800138680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-81723365807852612402017-01-15T07:22:09.354-07:002017-01-15T07:22:09.354-07:00Good luck with getting to 100!

I have never read that many in a year, but I think I can do it if I also watch less TV and read more graphic novels and short books. :p<br /><br />Please keep writing personal posts! I need to be better about it too. <br />I'm soo sad you didn't like Mistborn.

Your meme game was on point here, for sure. Also, I love that you talk about yourself! I DO love that! I think it is SO awesome that you try to follow and support more bloggers- you are too sweet! I admit, I used to follow more easily but then my feeds got clogged and I just.... I couldn't handle it. And YAY FoR UNWIND! This makes me so happy. I also feel you on the book photography. As much as I love taking like, travel photos and such... bookstagram stresses me out way too much to be fun. And I still don't totally "get" Twitter. I mean, I DO, I just don't know what people want ME to say. Everyone else is so much more... clever. And I don't think 140 characters is enough to contain me ;) GREAT job on the resolutions last year, I am quite impressed!

I don't make official resolutions per say, but the new year is the time when I start to think about some of the directions that I am moving, or would like to move, and make adjustments. I have strived to discover more books that I am not finding on blogs too, and have done alright with that. It is actually really nice to read a book that I end up loving that received no buzz. That has always seemed like the point of book blogging to begin with, spreading the love for a book that others may have not otherwise discovered. <br />As far as prize winning books go, I work on that from time to time, but I am unfortunately on the same tragic path that you find yourself on, buying them and not getting so far as to actually read them. They make my shelves look really smart though. :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-33552192111111409872017-01-13T14:18:16.861-07:002017-01-13T14:18:16.861-07:00I think you did a great job with last year's r...I think you did a great job with last year's resolutions!

Sometimes you've just got to go to the bookshop with nothing in hand (but cash) and have a good old wander. Make specific time for it. I'm sure you'll discover some great gems. <br /><br />I've really enjoyed the discussion posts you've shared this year, and I definitely come away from your blog with something to think about or a new book added to my wishlist. I also love that you're so supportive of smaller / newbie blogs.<br /><br />I'm rubbish with book photography... I much prefer nature photography. Although my pictures are nothing like the beautiful ones I come across on other blogs, I'm glad I push myself outside of my comfort zone and take my book pictures. <br /><br />I enjoyed reading your reflections on your resolutions. Happy reading and blogging in 2017!Reading with Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776146295033934487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-66433746608478478982017-01-12T12:55:29.315-07:002017-01-12T12:55:29.315-07:00I think you still did pretty well with all of your...I think you still did pretty well with all of your resolutions!
