Hi everyone,
Not late to the party because you know me, but I finally decided to post my goals for the year. As a caveat, I don’t usually have goals for the year except my reading challenge (2017 was 100 books and I barely made it, woops), so this is a bit new to me.
1. Reading Challenge of 85 books. As I mentioned above, I struggled to read a 100 so I decided to make this goal a little smaller. I am also aware that last year I had a lot of new things going on that meant I had less time to read. Did you set yourself a number of books to read per year?
My boyfriend says that I read books for myself, him and all the street.

2. Eat more vegetarian/vegan (not become either, but just do more veg). It’s not too hard since we don’t do much red meat, just chicken and fish, but we need the vegetables. At the moment we are doing relatively well. Last week was mostly vegetarian and even though this week will have meat there are more vegetables in the menu. Go me!
(I have to say I love my slow cooker and adapting recipes for it.)
3. Try to create a bookmark design per month minimum. This one is going a little not so well. I have two designs in the works but they haven’t come out yet. Hopefully I can finish at least one before the end of January. (And of course, we need a colouring bookmark for Valentine’s in February, right?)
4. Collaborate with more book boxes (Fairyloot is on the dream list, one can dream). Last year I collaborated with Book Box Club and Leafer Box. This year I am already doing well as I have another collaboration with Book Box Club for this month’s box. Fingers crossed other boxes will notice me, right?
5. Go back to drawing and/or writing almost daily. Already failing epically on this one. I haven’t drawn daily or written daily, but I do try, oh well.
6. Write my novel (NaNoWriMo didn’t go too well last time). The thing is I have the story plot done and I have a very old (over 10 years) version of it but I want to clear all those plot holes and all the issues and write it “properly”. I also have a few other novels completed but most of them are not in English so they need translation/editing.
Those are all my loose goals for the year. Did you make any?
Wow 85 is still a great goal! I’m sticking with my goal of 40, it seemed to balance well last year with everything else I had going on.
I read a lot and literally take a book with me everywhere, but 85 is a big one, not doing bad at the moment as I’ve read 6 already. But 40 sounds good 🙂
Good luck with your goals. I wish you all the best
Thank you! 🙂
