God willing, I’m rereading every book I own as my mindset has changed. I’m not giving out as many 5 stars and may be taking most away. I’m going to be cleaning house! I hope to also find some new loves I will add 4/5 star books here. Mel

2020 bookish resolutions:
Read more of my own books and cut down on the number of library books I take out. At least until my physical TBR has gone down.
I’m lowering my reading challenge to 75 books even though I did over 100 this year. I’m going to be travelling for 1 month which will severely cut my reading time.
Here’s to another wonderful year filled with awesome books!

Well, last year I had to cut my goal of 200 in half because of how busy uni and moving had made me, but never fear! I've settled now and this year I will read 200 books—well, 202 books, since it's 2020 and I just can't resist the urge
Anyways, happy new year everyone! I hope it'll be a decade of adventure and supertastic memories. Enjoy every second before it flies by quicker than Quick Silver. And don't forget, just because you were knocked down, doesn't mean you have to stay down :)

In 2020, I will post 10 book reviews a month on my blog. I already read a book every other day, as this year's total of 155 reads shows; so it's doable, and I've done better than that in the past.
I will Pearl Rule books I'm not enjoying with notes on Goodreads & LibraryThing about why I'm abandoning the read.
...and that's me done. My reports will continue to be quarterly, the day after the end of the quarter.

Last year, was not the best year for me; I read 60 books less than the year before, and the slumps I had were bad, real bad. I have a lot of hope for 2020, which may be naive, but I really think that after going for as long as I did without reading, I know I don't want to experience that again. Books are vital for me to function; yes, it sounds dramatic, but having half my mind not existing here, and in a novel instead, makes life that little bit more bearable. Here's to a (hopefully) good
