It is January 12th. Already.
So…my 2019 has already been very interesting. I won’t go into details, but it’s been both amazing and difficult.
That said, I have some books I’d like to read this year specifically and some writing goals that I want to share with you all here. I am not including any books I put in my Anticipated 2019 Releases post.
Books to Read:
- The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo: I have been wanting to read this for a while and I think I am finally going to do it.
- The Six of Crows Duology by Leigh Bardugo: Same as above.
- Courting Darkness by Robin LaFevers: I received an ARC of this and am currently reading it.
- The other books I got at YALLFest: There were a bunch that I have yet to read; if you’d like to know what all of them are you can read about them here.
- Emma by Jane Austen: I need to read more Jane Austen because I always LOVE her books.
- Save the Cat! Writes a Novel by Jessica Brody: I got this for my birthday, have started a little bit of it, and I am so excited to continue!
- Go Teen Writers: Edit Your Novel by Jill Williamson and Stephanie Morrill: Another birthday gift, and seeing as I’ll be editing soon it’s going to be very useful.
- Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi: I’ve been wanting to read this because hello, it’s Roshani Chokshi, and I received it for my birthday as well.
My Goodreads goal is 50 books, and obviously this list isn’t that long, but I am a mood reader through and through.
Writing Goals:
- Finish my draft of The Nikolai Project
- Come up with a title for The Nikolai Project
- Write and edit the third book in my Gwendolyn Trilogy
- Possibly, depending on Gwen, start editing TNP
This is a shorter post, but I always like to share my goals for the year.
What books are you hoping to read this year? If you write, what are your writing goals?
Love you all,
Clara
My goal is to listen to several audio books including the Bible, non fiction and fiction. No specific numbers, only to develop a habit.
I am finishing “the Coddling of the American Mind” right now. I just want to write at least twice a month on my blog!
I am currently rereading the Harry Potter series, and I’m loving it. As for writing, I am just trying to get back into blogging 🙂
I am so glad to have you back! I have really, genuinely missed your blog. 🙂
Oh my gosh, thank you so much. You don’t know how much that means to me.
