Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme sponsored by The Broke and the Bookish and this week's Top Ten list is all about our resolutions (book related or not or a combination of both) for 2014.
Here's mine:
1. I've been giving each book I
read a star rating on GoodReads, but in 2014, I resolve to also give a review
to each book, even if it's just a short one.
2. I resolve that barring any
unforeseen circumstances where I do not have internet access (storms, power
outage, etc.) that I will make a new post for my blog each and every day. In the case of no internet access, I will
play catchup and have a minimum of 1 post for each day that I was unable to
post.
3. I resolve that by the end of
2014, I WILL have edited the metadata for each book i have in calibre to
include the summary blurb and a picture of the cover, as both of these will
help considerably when I'm trying to find a book to fit a specific challenge
requirement.
4. I resolve to remember that it's
ok to not finish a book if it's one that I don't like. Luckily it's rare that I decide on a book
only to find that I'm watching the percent meter on the kindle hoping that each
page will make that number jump by leaps and bounds. There's just too many great books out there
that I shouldn't feel guilty if I pick one that is just for me. (Exceptions of course will go to books I
receive for a review. I will still force
my way through in hopes that the book improves as I go along.)
5. I resolve to read as many books
as possible of my already existing TBR list instead of my newer additions.
6. I resolve to become more
involved with the book blogging community.
7. I resolve to leave more posts on the blogs
that I visit.
8.
I resolve to get my 11 year old son excited about cooking by having him
plan and cook at least 1 meal per week.
9.
I resolve to spend more time playing board or card games with my boys,
especially since my 9 year old is finally at the point where he does not have a
breakdown if he does not win a game.
10. I resolve to try to remember
to take my digital camera and/or video camera to more of their sporting events/
school events so that I can share these events with family who are unable to
attend.
