Reading/blog goals for 2014

I don't have any books to talk about in a 'Letterbox Love'/'Stacking the Shelves' post this weekend, so instead, let's talk resolutions! Of the reading variety, of course ;-)

Overall, 2013 was a great year for me, particularly on the lines of meeting favourite authors. So far, I haven't got anything planned that will see similar things happening this year, but it's early days yet! While that was a success, and I had some great experiences while studying and travelling abroad, something that suffered because of it was my reading and blogging time. So this year, I'm going in with goals!

Goodreads: Like many people, I'm going to track my books on Goodreads this year, and really make an effort to record ones as 'read' even if I'm not posting a review of them. I've set my aim at 100 books, which should be do-able but I haven't decided yet if I'm going to include re-reads in that or not.

I posted the other day about the post schedule for the blog this year, and that's something else I'm determined to stick to - which of course means I need to have read books to talk about!

Those are my main ones just now, but I might post about more as they come up. What are your reading and blogging goals for this year?

Long time no see and a plan for the new year

Well, I seem to have fallen off the world again, haven't I?

Christmas is past, and it's time to get back on the wagon. I've read several great books over December that I'm excited to talk about, and reviews should be back on schedule.
Here's the plan for the coming year:

• Two reviews (or a 'Thoughts on Books' post) a week
• Letterbox Love/Stacking the Shelves on Saturday
• An occasional 'Top Ten Tuesday' post

I'll hopefully get a review up tomorrow, to get things kicked off early!

New Things!

Hi guys!

There are just a couple of new/different things on the blog that I wanted to draw your attention to quickly.

First of all, we have a little box over to the right hand side with 'coming soon' at the top, to give you an idea of what reviews & other cool stuff we have coming up soon.

Second, I'm changing my opinion on ebooks after discovering the wonders of netgalley and GalleyGrab - I will now review ebooks. I still prefer print by a long way, I just love holding a book in my hands, and being able to see them on my bookshelves, but I'll read & review ebooks.

Lastly, I'm running a give-away soon! I have 2 copies of 'Witch and Wizard' by James Patterson to give away. This competition will happen sometime next week, so be sure to check back for that!

We always love to read your comments, please let us know what you think!
