Belated New Year’s Resolutions.

Okay, so – I’ve never really been one for New Year’s Resolutions – I’m terrible at sticking to things for a start, and I just don’t really see the point in waiting until January the first rolls back around to make a positive change in your life. If you want to start doing something, start doing it! There’s no time like the present!
But I am interested in seeing how much I can achieve in a year, and seeing everyone’s New Year’s Resolutions got me thinking. I mean, I’m trying to live a healthier and more active lifestyle – but I’ve been doing that since before New Year – and I’m not especially fantastic at resisting chocolate, but what I am really good at is reading. (And procrastinating. I’m supposed to be writing an essay right now.) But I read a LOT. But I’ve never really kept track of just how much I read. So I decided to start. I’ve been keeping a list of all the books I’ve read since January the 1^st, 2016. They’re starting to add up already – I mean, I’m not exactly reading a book a day, (I can only dream!) but between two jobs and a full time university education – I’m pretty proud of how I’m doing so far.
Then I got thinking again (That’s twice this year, I’m starting to scare myself). Why stop at a list? It will be awesome to look back at the start of next year and to have a tangible number of how many books I’ve read in 365 days, but why not write about them, too? Why not remind myself of how much I loved a certain book, or why I loved it, or hated it for that matter (There are very few books I hate). I also get a lot of people ask me what I’m reading at the moment, do I know anything they’d like to read? Any recommendations?
So yes, yes I do. They’re here, on The Bookie Monster.
