The time of year affords a little introspection about what I would like to do with my blog this year. While for the most part I am actually really happy with the way things have been going this year, I do have a few things I would like to improve upon (there are many things I have room to improve upon, but only a few that are feasible with my schedule right now).
1. Comment on ten different posts whenever I go to my google reader. I'm kind of a blog lurker -- I usually read 25-40 blog posts a day, but rarely ever comment. Sometimes I feel like I'm on the outside of the blogging community a bit, and I think it is up to me to feel more involved. I did this today and it was great -- I'm looking forward to commenting more!
2. Respond to my own comments in a more timely manner. I changed my blog so that I had to moderate all comments, not because I've gotten anything inappropriate but because I wanted to try and force myself to respond. I do now respond to every comment, but I get behind. I'd like to comment every few days.
3. This is more like a rule than a goal -- I am not going to let my TBR list on Goodreads exceed 500 books. This doesn't mean I am limiting the books I want to read in the future -- the idea (we'll see how it works) is to read books on the TBR so that books are being taken off frequently as well as being added on. I'm at 278 right now, so I have plenty of room, but I usually add one every day or so, so I might have to invoke the limit at some point.
4. I want to continue my rule of reading one review book, one adult book, and one YA book to keep my reading balance.
5. I'm going to participate in the Goodreads challenge again -- this year I am increasing my goal from 88 books to 111 books. :)
Do you have any reading or blogging goals for the new year?
