#BookishResolutions

This year I‘m only making Bookish resolution. I have over 200 unread book and I want to concentrate on reading through these instead of only new books. Plus, I don‘t want to add any more new books to the TBR pile. #bookishresolutions #2021

SamAnne Oh Lord. I should join in this resolution. 4y

Speaking of #Chunksters, one of my #bookishresolutions for 2019 is to start rereading #TheWheelOfTime.

This is one of my #bookishresolutions...I need less screen time so I can have more reading time. 😀

Melissa_J I really need to do this myself! I can‘t believe how much time I spend on my phone! 6y
melissanorr Yes! One of my resolutions is to spend less time on my phone. It's hard to believe how much time I waste scrolling through so many different sites and apps. 6y

LeahBergen Me, too!! (as I type away at a screen 😆🤣) 6y
Annl Me too! 6y
LauraBeth @melissa_j, @melissanorr @rubyslippereads, @leahbergen, @annl This really worked well for me today! In addition to the 30 min limit for social media and games - I set aside big blocks of time on my phone for complete “downtime” - I got a LOT of reading done! 😀 I think I have like 2 minutes left to look at Litsy for the rest of the day before I get locked out until midnight 😹 (edited) 6y
DivineDiana I did not know about this option! 😲 Think I‘ll try it! 6y
DivineDiana Do you have an IPhone? I couldn‘t find this option? 6y
LauraBeth @DivineDiana I do - it‘s found under Settings>Screen Time on the iPhone. I just went in and set my “downtime” for the day 😀 6y
DivineDiana Thanks so much! 😀 Still not finding. 🤷🏼‍♀️Maybe not available on 7? Will research! 6y
LauraBeth @DivineDiana I have a 7 so it could be something as simple as updating your OS. I‘m running 12.1.2. The screen time feature was on a recent update. 6y
DivineDiana Great tip! Now I just have to free up some space! 😉👍🏻📲 6y

One of my #bookishresolutions is to finally use these two wonderful gifts I have received.

1- Complete the PopSugar Challenge, the Modern Mrs Darcy Challenge, Nonfiction 2019 challenge, and a British Authors Challenge
2- Read 75 books
3- Avoid buying books in order to read the books I've already bought. This is a serious issue for me, but I'm not going to say I won't buy any books at all. That's just unrealistic!

📚 I might be the only one with this resolution, but I actually want to read less books in 2019! Reading 200 plus means many books are a blur to me, I can not remember details of half the books I read this year. I am going for quality over quanity in 2019.
📚 Reread some classics and childhood favorites
📚 Finally read Les Mis
📚 Read one NF/month
📚 read off my TBR, and what I own
📚 Not stress out over my challenges!

Ravenclawsbookshelf Also, there is a retelling of it called Sky Without Stars coming out next year. 6y
sammisho @ravenclawsbookshelf I look forward to reading both! 6y
Daisey Great goals! I sometimes feel this way as well since I've been reading more, but I just can't decide what to leave out. I have become slightly more selective, but not much. 6y
Lmstraubie These are fantastic resolutions! It so true about reading a lot. I find myself thinking, "Did I read this book yet?" and then I need to read the blurb to be sure. I also need to read more of what I have. 6y
Amanda.T Reading Les Mis is on my list too. I have a beautiful edition that has been staring at me for far too long. 6y

Oryx Do you pick at random, or do you remember what is there? 6y
LeahBergen So do your kids just pull one out, sight unseen, when they give you recommendations? 😆 6y
TrishB @Oryx I know where everything is! And generally know what I want to read next. You know what it‘s like though - some things stay on the tbr forever with no rhyme or reason why! (edited) 6y
TrishB @LeahBergen my daughter is very exacting when she picks - what do I not want to read today - how long, genre etc! My son generally picks something he wants to read but I can read first and tell him whether it‘s worth bothering with! 6y
LeahBergen @TrishB Well, I approve of both of these methods. 👍🏻 6y
Ddzmini Is that your tbr list 😳😝📚📚📚📚 6y
TrishB @Ddzmini some of it 😱 6y
Cathythoughts OMG 😮📚📚📚 6y
Balibee146 Hello my lovey.... That looks like mine.... Though I suspect you are a better mountaineer than me 😘😘 6y

Another #library visit, another long-sought title. Brings to mind another good idea for #bookishresolutions : no more checking out books and not reading them.

One of my #bookishresolutions this year is to finish the #TBRbingo that I created last year. I only read 6 books from it, and I want to read all 25. I put the remaining 19 books all together, so it's easy to grab one when I'm looking for something to read next!

Cinfhen I need to finish mine too🙈 7y
Sarah83 Sounds quite familiar to me 😂 7y

Last year I barely kept to any of my bookish goals, so this year I am determined to do better. I joined a lot of challenges to help me work through my #MountTBR.

#bookishresolutions #tbr #challenges

BeckyK When I read that I thought ‘buying 50 books or less is easy!‘ Then I remembered all the charity shop books and sneaky amazon packages! 🙈 good luck with your resolutions! 😊 7y
Kristy_K @Beckykearns My book purchases always seem so little until I add them all together! Here‘s hoping I can stick to it. 7y
