Reading Resolution

Most years my resolutions usually resolve around the typical weight loss and health goals. Each year I also make another goal that many people don't. I set a reading goal. Last year, for example, I set a goal to read 200 novels in the year. In November, I had already met that goal and decided to challenge myself to read 220. This year, I'm upping it five books to make a grand total of 225. Wish me luck. My biggest reading resolution this year is to write about what I'm reading. I occasionally write a review, but I'm not regular about it. I post it on goodreads, but then I don't crosspost it on my blog. This year, I aim to change that. After all, consuming a large amount of books is only part of the equation. If I hope to encourage others to read, I have to tell what I find so great about the books I read, right? I can't just selfishly keep it to myself. For those people who know me in my real life, they know I've got a reading suggestion for everybody. I know how to figure out a good thing to recommend to people are based on their likes and dislikes. This has served me well as an English and Reading teacher. But there are many friends that I don't see in person anymore. There are many un-met friends that might want to know what I think about the books I read. After all, the best advise often comes from personal reviews and responses. I trust them. I hope that some people will come to trust me too. So here's the goal for this year: blog about my reading journey this year on a regular schedule. I'm going to commit to posting something new two times a week, every Monday and Thursday. Join me on my Reading Adventure this year!
