Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments The idea of this challenge is to make a new years resolution (or two) that involves reading, and to stick to it! This could be any number of things -
Examples:
'I resolve to read more historical fiction'
'I resolve to take part in more buddy reads'
'I resolve to start 6 new series this year'
'I resolve to finish the series I've already started'
'I resolve to clear my review pile'

Participants will be split into teams, and each participant will be able to create two new years resolutions to bring to their team. Each team will then read books which fit their teams new years resolutions.


Team Resolutions:

LainaBelle
1. Read more standalones;
2. Read books that aren't fantasy.

Tina
1. I want to clear my review pile.
2.

Jennifer
1. To Read more books I've put a long time ago as Want To Read on Goodreads.
2. To finish or continue series I've started.

Tia
1. I resolve to complete more buddy reads
2. I resolve to read more Dystopia books

Aslaug
1.
2.

Mariam
1. I resolve to explore and read books from different genres , e.g. Horror & Mythology.
2. So I resolve to start 5 new YA series.

NP. Mariam. ^-^ I've added your first resolution but I think that your second one is very similar to one of Jennifer's so could you possibly change it a bit?

You know what , I don't think my to-read list will shorten, I mean I keep adding books more than I read so I will change my resolution.

So I resolve to start 5 new YA series.

I don't think you're too late. There is a plenty of time left. Just put your resolutions here and notify bookbuyer to add them so you can use them when you review. ☺︎
