2018 - Fall / Winter Update: End of the year stuff, Next year goals

So 2018 has mostly come and gone and I have not even posted one single book review this year. Like I have said on multiple occasions I am not generally inclined to read a book over doing something else (watch tv, play video games) so it can be hard for me to do something like the 52 books in 52 weeks challenge. For me just reading something like 8-10 books (new books, not re-reads) a year is a pretty amazing feat. Anyway, to help curb that hardship of trying to read an entire book in a week, write and post a review, and find another book for the next week, I have decided to try to come up with a list of 52 books that I like or look interesting to me that I may actually read. This will allow me to participate in the book challenge next year without the added stress of not knowing what I am going to read the next week. I plan to just find 52 books and read them in no particular order. To help with this plan I am going to be using an extremely helpful tool known as Good Reads. I will also be posting he link to My Books on Good Reads, so that you can know what I am currently reading and what I have already finished. I will post a link in the sidebar and in this post.

Another thing that I would like to do more of is TV show reviews. I binge watch a lot of shows (thanks Netflix), but one thing that I have not done enough of is reviews. I know that I have mostly posted book reviews and updates on this blog, but I love to watch all kinds of shows and so it seems only natural that I review them at the end. It allows me to go back over the show and think critically and more in depth about the show as a whole.

Either way I just want to get back to reading more and posting more reviews. I am hoping to complete just one year of the challenge, but it will be a tough road ahead for me.
