Reading Resolutions

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and got lots of bookish presents! Now that the holiday is over, it's time to settle on some reading resolutions for 2018! This year I've learned a lot about my reading style and preferences, and what works and doesn't work for me. Going forward I want to make sure to implement some new strategies so I don't waste my time reading books I don't like or get wrapped up in too much at once. Here are my reading resolutions for 2018:
  • Don't have more than 3 books going at one time (One physical, one ebook, one audiobook)
  • Always have access to at least one of these (There have been too many times where I'm waiting somewhere and realize too late that I should have brought a book.)
  • Stop reading books I don't like (If I'm halfway through a book and hating it, stop! Odds are it's not going to get much better.)
  • Put some more focus on backlist books (Because my shelves are overflowing)
  • Stop unnecessary BookOutlet binges (Really, I spend too much money and usually don't even read the books...see previous resolution.)
I also have some resolutions to help me be a better blogger:
  • Spend more time on posts on the weekends and schedule them in advance
  • Explore more blogs and discover new ones to follow
  • Make more of an effort to comment back to readers
  • Learn more about photo staging
Do you have any reading resolutions for the new year? If so, what are they?
