Top Ten Bookish Goals
1. Read more New Adult- I'm really liking reading about college-aged kids. Probably because I am in college and am the target audience. I've loved every single one of these that I've read in this genre.
2. Read 80 books by May/June- I leave for an extended trip where I will not be reading books in May or June. I hope to have read 80 by then.
3. Make a serious dent in my TBR list-This where most of the 80 books will come from.
4. Get caught up on review docket/update my review archive regularly.
5. Read more of other people's book reviews.
6. Host more giveaways-because you're awesome.
7. Post reviews right after I read them not weeks later.
8. Post at least 12 reviews a month.
9. Get to know more of you bloggers better-every blogger I've met is so nice and friendly. I'd love to get know you all better.
10. Read 3 books a week-I didn't read nearly as much as I wanted to last semester. It was kind of feast or famine. I want to be more consistent.
~Teaser Tuesday~
This meme is hosted by Miz B of Should be Reading.
The rules are really simple. Just grab the book you're reading and turn to a random page. Pick two sentences and post them along with the page number, book, and author.
Without further ado here is my Teaser Tuesday for this week.
So what do I wish for? Screw it. Let the Fates decide. I wish for the thing that is best for me. ~Anna and the French Kiss page 87.
I've heard so many amazing things about this book that I decided I better just cave and read it all ready. It's good so far, but I was expecting it to be better. I'm only on page 90, so I'm sure it does get better.
Can't wait to find out one way or the other.
That's all for me. Which book did you pick this week. Please comment and leave your link. I check out every single link and respond" to every comment. :)

I am really impressed with your 80 books by May/June--that's more than my year-long goal! I haven't read a new adult book yet, but I really need to try at least one. I feel I'm kind of the target audience(college student), but I haven't really found one that's caught my eye so far.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I just hope I reach it. Every New Adult book that I've read, I've loved. Hope you get to one soon. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteWish you tons of luck to read 80 books by the summer! Enjoy Anna and the French Kiss. Not the most amazing story, but it is cute.
ReplyDeleteMy teaser
Thanks. I'm at about 20 right now. I agree. It wasn't amazing, but it was cute. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteAre you going to move on to the next book, Lola something? I haven't read it yet. I don't I think I will any time soon since I wasn't blown away with Anna.
DeleteI think I should host more giveaways too... Great list!
ReplyDeleteThanks I'm glad you liked it and thanks for stopping by.
DeleteYou are going to be one busy blogger. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI like being busy, I just hope I don't get too busy. thanks for commenting.
DeleteGreat teaser! I really enjoyed that book, but it wasn't a "fabulous read to share with all my friends" kind of book for me. It was a lot of fun though! Glad you're enjoying it. :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser: http://flowersofquiethappiness.blogspot.com/2013/01/teaser-tuesdays-jayber-crow.html
Thanks. I'm glad you liked my teaser. I agree. It was a cute/fun read, but not spectacular. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI love it when others visit my blogs. I plan to try harder to visit more blogs this year. And to leave comments. I like that, too.
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Top Ten Bloggish Bookish Goals for 2013. I hope you will stop by! And Happy New Year!
I also love it when others visit my blog and I'm definitely hoping I'm better at leaving comments too.
DeleteThanks for leaving your link.
I just recently read Anna and I freaking LOVED it! :) Great teaser! Here's my teaser from Nobody But Us. Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it. I just finished it and it was good. I've been wanting to read Nobody But Us, so thanks for leaving your teaser.
DeleteGreat goals! Good luck whittling down that TBR pile! It seems to be the never ending pile for me. The other day I went through my Kindle and had totally forgotten all of the GREAT books I have waiting for me there! I wish I could read 24/7 to catch up! :)
ReplyDeleteJulie@My Favorite Pastime
Thanks! I know I also wish i COULD READ 24/7 to catch up. The TBR pile is like an endless pit that keeps growing and growing.
DeleteThanks for commenting.
Great answers! I also really want to post more giveaways or just post a giveaway, because I haven't did one yet.

Great goals!! and happy blogoversary! You read so fast! I wish I could read 80 books by may! I only read 70 books in 2012 total :( this year I want to hit 100! Also I am loving New Adult as well. So refreshing to read about college-aged people (they've been neglected for a while now).
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
PS- I hope you like Anna and the French Kiss.. it was one of my favs!
Great goals... I can't imagine reading that many books by May/June. I'll be lucky to read that many this year! lol (Not counting picture books... I read at least one a day there... :) ).

Anna was a nice read. Etienne frustrated me to no end though.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals!
Here is my TT post.

Great list! I love New Adult, will definitely be trying to read more this year.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my list here if you'd like to.
I've seen this book around for a while but never check it out. I may give it a try!
ReplyDeleteCute blog! I'm a new follower!!
Here's mine:
Great list! I would love to read 3 books a week and really stick with it! You've given me a new goal!
ReplyDeleteWow, 80 books by May/June? That's incredible. I've set a goal of 62 for the year. Damn, I'm slacking. Have a terrific year of reading.
ReplyDelete3 books a week and 12 reviews a month, that's a good goal! Good luck with all of your goals.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Anna and the French Kiss, but I like Stephanie Perkins second book, Lola and the Boy Next Door EVEN MORE!
ReplyDeleteYou have some lofty goals! I'm impressed! I always forget to update my review archive regularly too! I should work on that as well!
Lauren @ Hughes Reviews
80 books by May!!? Jeeps. I'm lucky if I get 50 books in during the whole year. Good luck! I'm also loving the New Adult genre. It has all of the elements of YA but just a touch more spice. Thanks for stopping by my TTT. Good luck with your resolutions!
ReplyDeleteNikki @ Imaginative Adventure
lol I hear you on #3 and #7 of your bookish goals. I've been pretty good at posting up reviews within the week that I've finished reading it but there's been a few that took me longer than that and yeah, the reviews just weren't the same, haha.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your bookish goals this 2013!
- Li @ rulethewaves.net
Love Anna and the French Kiss. For new adult titles, have you read Beverley Kendall's When in Paris? It was great and I highly recommend it. Great goals on your list too! Check out my list if you have time!
ReplyDeleteWow, number 2 is a lot! 3, 5, 6, ,7, 9 are on my list too, though some of them didnt make it to my top ten. Anna and the French Kiss is a great novel! Loved it! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteMy Goals for 2013
I do hope you get to every item on your list! Blogger friends are such a gift, I hope to comment more and make more friends as well!
