Happy New Year! A Look into 2020

January 1, 2020


Happy New Year!
This is 2020.....

Sorry, I couldn't help it. It would have been awesome if that had Barbra Walters announce that last night. It would have been the icing on the cake.

Here we sit at the start of a brand new year. A brand new book with 366 empty pages, ready for you to fill in with you story.

There is so much to look forward to in this year. So many things to build on from the previous year.

I'm not one to make resolutions. That's not my thing. I do, sometimes, make goals, but my goals are set on the 1st. They are made throughout the year and sometimes I find my goals have to be altered. There is flexibility in goals.

Not only do I look forward at the start of a New Year, I like to look back. I like to look back, because, this is the day that I started this blog in 2012. A lot has changed and a lot has been learned since then. I like to look back on the knowledge and blogging friends I have made in that time and the beginning is good time to look back and be thankful. I'm thankful for such an amazing and supportive community in the book blogging world. The joy of readers are contagious! And I'm truly blessed to be apart of it.

Looking forward on this coming year, I already know there are going to be many changes coming, I will be sharing about those in the coming weeks. It is positive, but it is changes. Mainly personal, but it will affect my blogging a little bit, but it won't be for long.

I usually set goals for reading at the start of the year, but I'm trying something new this year. It does have to do with the up coming changes, but I thought it would be fun to see how it goes. If you follow me on Goodreads (you can find me through the little button at the top right side of the blog), you see I set reading goals. I have set a number for 2020, but so you know, it's just to help me track of the reading I'm doing. I'm not going for any particular number this year. I'm going to read what I can and see what happens. Goodreads doesn't have a button for that. :-)

I already have several books on my TBR pile and I have a list of books I hope to read in this coming year. I will sharing about those books very soon.

I'm very excited to see where 2020 takes us. The year is already shaping up to be amazing in the reading world.
