My News Year's Resolutions: READ MORE BOOKS and gain a magical power


I'm not one to make resolutions for the near year. I'm already trying to drop a few pounds (I've lost 5 over the past few months) and I'm trying to swear less (this one isn't going so well...) but I've decided to set a reading challenge for 2015.

I'm going to read 40 books in 2015.

It's in BOLD so you know I'm serious. I was considering attempting to read 50 books but I think that might be a little much for me considering I didn't even read 20 books in 2014. As a book lover I'm ashamed to admit that.

The book I finished yesterday is my last book of 2014 and it was probably my favorite book of the year.



Heir of Fire is the third book in the Throne of Glass series and unexpectedly my favorite in the series. New characters and story lines were introduced but the characters I loved from the previous two books were not forgotten. The world building in this series is fantastic. I wish I could come up with something like this. Sadly I am not so talented in the writing department so I'll just enjoy every moment of this series and wonder why I can't have fire powers.

Anyone else have any resolutions or challenges for 2015? Also, feel free to suggest books in the comments. I'll read almost anything.

Things I hope for in 2014

2013 is almost done folks so I'd like to share some things I'm hoping for in 2014.

  • To never have to hear the word "twerking" again
  • For my stomach to stop being such a bitch
  • To make time to read more as I slacked pretty hard in the reading department in 2013
  • To become BFFs with J. Law and Josh Hutcherson.

  • For the Boston marathon to be amazing and fun and hopeful, how it should always be
  • For Melissa to move back to Boston. If this does not happen I am sending a bounty hunter after her.
  • To keep up my exercise routine and healthier eating (3 weeks and going strong baby. I should have lost like 20lbs by now right?....)
  • That bloggers stop making everything about making money. I'm tired of seeing product endorsements and the word "personal brand" is thrown around way too much. I've had to abandon reading quite a few blogs I used to like because of this.
  • For politicians to take their heads out of their asses and get something done. (HA! Very wishful thinking)
  • Save more $
  • Learn a new skill. No clue what skill so feel free to make suggestions
Happy New Year everyone!
