Starting Over
Wow! 2010 in reading was a year of biting off way more than I could chew. I made too many goals without thinking about the major area I need to improve in–actually writing down what I’m reading. I don’t think I’m going to join up with any group challenges this year, but I do have some reading goals that I would like to achieve for myself:
- Record everything I read this year. EVERYTHING!!
- Since this blog is ostensibly also about watching, I’d like to do a better job keeping track of the movies I watch during the year as well.
- Read at least one non-fiction book a month.
- Work harder at finishing books, even when I lose my mojo part way through. I would have had such a longer list of completed books last year if only I’d stuck with the many books I started.
- Continue to focus on essays and short stories–one thing I did learn in 2010 was that I greatly enjoy these shorter narratives.
- Post once a week on this blog. Even if I don’t have anything completed to talk about.

These sound like excellent goals! I didn’t keep track of all the books I read last year either, something I am resolving to do in 2011! I’m also trying to read more fiction this year, because I am prone to focusing solely on nonfiction and forgetting how to lose myself in a story.
Happy reading!
Thanks Kate! I needed to keep my goals simple this year, but I did see some exciting challenges that you linked to on your blog. Tempting! Good luck in 2011. :)
