Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Brags

 This week's topic is Bookish Brags. I'm not good about bragging...

As Paul Rudd says here, stop it, you're making me blush!

But:

I am ahead on my Goodreads goal this year - the last two years, I didn't make my reading goal.

And I forgot my blog anniversary, but I've been blogging for a while...

It's been a wild ride!

Top Ten Tuesday: Reading Goals

 This week's topic is reading goals STILL to complete before the end of the year.

Here are my goals for the year:

1. According to my Goodreads Challenge (which I failed last year) - I'm hoping to read 250 books - between Children's, Middle Grade, YA, Adult, and graphic novels.

Currently I'm at 179, so I have a few more books to read. Fingers Crossed!

2. I'd like to also read 500 picture books, board books, and I Can Read Books

Currently, I'm at 456, but I have a bunch at home, I need to read. This should be easily accomplished. 

3. I'd like to blog 325 posts and not all reviews...

Currently at 263 for the year, so that's do-able too. I try to blog about once a day or at least 6 times a week. AND I have a big anniversary too. 

I could make more book lists and other posts. I will have to think about that.

4. More Bookstagram posts (at least once per month)

So far, so good! 

5. More TikTok BookTok posts (at least once per month)

So far, so good! 

I'm not doing too bad! But I need to get reading...

Do you have reading/blogging goals?

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.
