Reading Resolutions 2019

Welcome to my 2019 Reading Resolutions post.

It’s become something of a little tradition on my blog to set out a few general reading hopes and goals for the coming year. Nothing too rigid, my Resolutions are general ideas and reminders about reading events and books I’d like to read soon.

As always I will participate in the Goodreads Challenge, setting myself a fairly low target. I enjoy keeping track of my reads and this challenge allows me to do that.
Beat the Backlist will also be making another appearance, to encourage me to stop neglecting books that have been on my TBR list for a while but never made it to the top.

General Goals

I want to try and give some attention to books I already own by reading at least one of my own books, either e-book or real book per month.
To participate in reading events and readathons and keep my blog regularly updated with progress. In particular I’m looking out for Bout of Books and Reader’s Imbibing Peril. I’d also like to find more readathon events to participate in.
To read a variety of genres, but to carry on indulging my love of Fantasy/Dystopia/Post Apocalypse stories. I’d really like to read more Fantasy than I managed last year.
Continue reading Agatha Christie, particularly the Poirot series.
To try and read some more Sci-Fi titles to enjoy as it’s a genre I’ve not really touched on so far.
Continue my Harry Potter re-read
Maybe try another audio book. Specifically, try one audio book per month, assuming I enjoy my first experience.
To continue my monthly update posts to record how I’m doing in keeping up with my challenges.
