Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Goals

This week's topic is bookish goals. I feel like I write the same goals every year and just forget about them. I'm going to try harder not to let that happen this year. But I might be fighting a losing battle.

Blogging Goals 2018

I make a lot of resolutions - hopes and dreams and goals for the new year.

They don't always work out, but I do try.

This year, I've been thinking about my blog. It's turning 10 this year and I can't imagine I've been blogging for that long. At the same time, I can't remember a time not blogging. 

I want to branch out a tiny bit more - still doing similar things but maybe more of those posts. 

Of course still book review - I'm a librarian after all

But I do want to talk more about my work in the library world

I want to talk more about my writing

And finally I want to talk more about crafting and highlight some crafts in my Etsy store.

I hope you continue this journey with me and thanks for reading my blog, it really does mean a lot to me!!
