It’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is Top Ten Book Goals For 2014. My goals are essentially the same as last year’s. See:
1. Read all of the books on my shelf that I have yet to read.
Same goal as last year. This time I will achieve it!
2. Limit ebook purchases to 3 per month until I catch up on reading.
I realize that the kindle daily deals are too good to pass up so I had to adjust this goal from last year to limiting my purchases rather than eliminating the option, even if for a little while.
3. Cut my TBR list in half.
Details on how I will achieve this are here.
4. Start reading YA books by the year they released.
In 2006/2007, my focus was on school and reading for my own enjoyment took a back seat…for a couple of years. I’ve always wanted to catch up on the books I missed out on and thought this would be a great way to catch up considering I do want to get to a point where my TBR pile only includes books released in the month that I’m in and future books.
5. Review as many books as I can as soon as I finish reading.
Same goal as last year, only this time I plan to read more so that will actually reflect more.
6. Schedule more posts.
Same goal as last year and so far, so good.
7. Take part in more read-alongs.
Last year’s goal was a success! I’ve found read-a-longs to be very easy and fun to participate in so I am on the lookout for plenty this year.
8. Take part in more read-a-thons.
I’ve found that read-a-thins aren’t my thing. But I don’t want to give up after three or so times of participating. I want to try a few more times and then decide whether or not read-a-thons really are or aren’t for me.
9. Get another bookcase.
I bought a bookcase last year and that was awesome. It’s already time for another one!
10. Donate 100 books to library.
I typically donate 50 or so books a year but would like to double that this year.
What are your book goals?
Great resolutions! Best of luck for all of them. I think most bloggers have a tbr mountain they aim to read every year!!
I usually either go and swop my books at a second hand bookshop or donate them to a charity shop.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday list if you want to check it out!
Chanzie @ Mean Who You Are.
These are good ones! Ambitious, but it sounds like you have got it under control. Limiting ebook purchases is a hard one for me. Happy 2014!
Awesome goals!
I hope you complete every single one <3
Good luck!

I think it's awesome that you donate so many books to the library. I do, too! At my library, donated books are sold to the public by the Friends of the Library — I love to see the volunteers' faces light up when I bring them a big stack for donation. Just makes me feel good, you know?
Good luck with all your goals. Happy New Year!
Awesome goals! I also want to try and knock down my TBR pile a bit 🙂
Good luck!

I like your book donation goal! I tend to see if any family or friends want the books on their way out, and then send them on to the library. 🙂
Good luck with your goals!
Thanks for stopping by guys!
Yes, very ambitious! I wouldn't have it any other way. 🙂
Yeah, donating is very important to me whether it be books, blu-rays/dvds, clothes, food, etc… anyway I can donate, I make sure to but I definitely can donate more so here's to a bigger year! 🙂
