January Reading/Blog Goals

By
This year I promised myself that I would be more consistent with with my blog and stepping out of my comfort zone. I want to branch out more in the blogging community and also on the booktube community. I have a couple of goals that I want to stick to and I have another huge announcement that I have working on for the past couple of weeks. I will talk about that in just a few.
Goal #1 More TAGs. 
I love watch tags on youtube and reading them on others blogs. There are so much fun and it is an easy way to make blogger friends.

Goal # 2 Participate in READ-A-Thons
I did my first read-a-thon in September on the blog Wishful Endings. It was two weeks which was better for me at the time than one week. I had so much fun participating in the challenges. I also joined the goodreads group and twitter discussion. That was my first time doing that and I look forward to doing more.

Goal # 3 Have set Posts Dates
This is something that I have to play around with to see what days work best. Most blogger/vloggers do the MWF and that seems good. But there are some times when I am in reading slumps or blog slumps and I am at a lost on what to post. I want to incorporate new things than just the monthly wrap up and TBRs.

Goal # 4 Read 100 books for 2017
With this goal it always changes. The most I can get to is around 60. This past year I felt like I was in more reading slumps than books that I have read and I hate that. I want to complete this goal and maybe do a little more. I admire the bloggers/vloggers that read 200 plus. To me, thats like freaking Jedi powers.

Goal # 5 Booktube
I did not know that booktube (youtube) existed until I was looking up book reviews for work. I have binged watch so many videos and I have a favorites miles and miles high. I have a channel but I'm doing some work on it first. This is something that I have wanted to do for a long time.

This also brings me into my announcement. I have been working with an awesome booktuber, Julie from Pages and Pens, and Lauren who is my co-worker. We are going to be doing a monthly live show called Java and the Librarians. It will be a full in depth book discussion on the book that we choose for that particular month. We also have a twitter so you guys and tweet us your thoughts, opinions, and questions. I'm so excited to be doing this. Like I said, I want to come out of my comfort zone and this is step one.

Java and the Librarians

The Mister Book Review

By
Goodreads synopsis:  London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face.   But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past.  Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own?   I will admit I did have some kind of salty...

So I have been in a fantasy mood lately. I think it may have to do with Summer Reading at the library because our theme is dealing with fantasy and science fiction. With that being said, I used my library and gathered a bit much of some fantasy books. I am going into them blind which I prefer because I want the whole concept of the book to (hopefully) blow me away. I have a few romance thrown in as well :) It's my birthday month so hopefully these books treat me well!   The city of Bulikov once wielded the powers of the gods to conquer the world, enslaving and brutalizing millions — until its divine protectors were killed. Now, Bulikov’s history has been censored and erased, its citizens subjugated. But the surreal landscape of the city itself, forever altered by the thousands of miracles its guardians once worked upon it, stands as a haunting reminder of its former supremacy. Into this broken city steps Shara Thivani. Officially, the unassuming young woman is just another...
