2020 Reading & Blogging Goals

So it's that time of year again where we all aim to set our goals and expectations for the new year. As readers and bloggers we attempt to make commitments to read more and blog more. I had a hell of a year that was full of heartache, pain, and challenges, but somehow I still managed to blog a little this year, revamp the entire site, and read over 140 books. I think I can easily top all of that in 2020. Below you'll find all of reading and blogging goals for the year. I plan to keep up progress on the page in the navigation bar titled "Reading Challenges."

This year I plan to participate in the following challenges: 

1. Set Goodreads challenge to 100 books. 
2. Participate in the Diversity Reading Challenge by reading 50 books and completing at least one book in each of the following categories: 
• Diverse Folktales, Culture, Mythology 
• POC/African American 
• #OwnVoices
• Middle Eastern/South Asian 
• East Asian, Southeast Asian, Pacific Islander 
• LGBT+ Pride Summer: gender and sexual identity 
• Mental Health/Addiction 
• POC: Latinx, Hispanic
• Physical, Sensory, Cognitive, Intellectual, Developmental Disability 
• POC: Native American

3. Participate in the Finishing Series reading challenge and complete the following series:

4. Read 50 picture books and review each. 
5. Read 50 graphic novel, manga, and/or comics. 

1. Write a written review for all picture books read and at least 50% of the other books read during the year. 
2. Post on blog at least 2-3 times a week. 
3. Spend more time reading blog posts from other book bloggers in the community. Network more!
