I wanted to read 50 books over the course of the year, well that didn't happen. I read 38, which isn't too bad! I also used my blog a lot more for reviews and other things relating to reading. Most of my posts had to do with reading, which I'm excited about. I also got involved with the blog Jagged Edge to help review books there. And even more exciting I started getting contacted by authors directly and have been reviewing books that way as well.
My favorite book I read last year was probably The Night Circus, followed by State of Wonder. My least favorite had to have been 50 Shades of Gray (which I haven't reviewed, not sure if its worth it) probably followed by Playing with Matches.
New for this year, I finally got into the ebook fun with the gift of a kindle from RoB! I love love LOVE it. I will still read, buy, collect, give away real books but some of the conveniences of the kindle are great. He got me the paperwhite so I could read at night without the light on (which always bothered him since he wanted to go to sleep before me).
I don't have any specific number goals for this next year, but I do need to be better about getting my reviews up. So my new goal is to get reviews up within a week of finishing a book, and not skipping ahead to a book I want review, but really taking the time to review each and everyone. I'm also considering changing my review style. I'd love some suggestions on what y'all like in a book review and what you don't. Do you like it broken up into different sections? Do you want a long summary? How can I make them more interesting?
