So it was an interesting year - lots of reading. I topped last years total number which was 208. My Young Adult reading skyrocketed (something I did not notice until I put the numbers down) and my romance reading fell off.
So what are my plans for 2011? To read and read what I choose to. I will be accepting less review books as I have found I tend to overbook myself and there are some books I received for review in the past I really want to get to. I also need to make a dent in my home shelves. I will continue reading from the library because I enjoy it very much. I also plan to read more from my Kindle this year. I have been stocking up on freebies and other specials along with books I am dying to read, so it's time to make time to read those as well.
January is pretty booked for review, but I plan to space it out more in the future, maybe only two review books a week. I will continue to review books I read from other sources as well so I hope to continue around 2-5 reviews a week as well as meme participation.
This year I also plan to be better about keeping up with my challenges. I want to complete them and I want my posts complete.
And of course there will be giveaways. I already have two piles of books ready for new homes, so look for giveaway hops I will be participating in along with author/publisher giveaways and other giveaways through the year.
Anything else you would like to see? Just let me know and I will work on it. I want to get back to my series spotlight as I am behind on a lot of great series and it's fun to talk about them with others who love and hate them.
As always please comment if you feel like it, even if you disagree with what I say, I don't mind - we all have opinions. Let me know if you read the book I am reviewing, whether you liked it or not. I like hearing a lot of different opinions, it often shows me things I miss in the book!
I look forward to 2011 as another great blogging year, not just on my blog, but the whole blogging community and I can't wait to be a part of it.
Happy New Year!
