Top Ten Tuesday is hosted at The Broke and the Bookish.
Top Ten Bookish Resolutions:
- Write more reviews: I am horrible about writing reviews. This year I will write at least something for most of the books I read. I’m not saying I have to review every single book I read, but at least try to write something for most of them. Even if that something is just a short paragraph.
- Finish more series: I have over 100 series on the go. I don’t have to complete or get up to date on all of them, but I would like to finish some.
- No more TBRs: I will still make them for read-a-thons but no more monthly TBRs. I am a mood reader. I need to be okay with that.
- Get my TBR pile under 500 books: I don’t even know how I ended up with so many unread books in my bedroom. Obviously I buy too many books.
- Buy fewer books: I added (with the help of my mom) over 200 books to my selves last year. There is no need for me to get that many books in a year. Maybe if I was someone who actually read 150+ books in a year but I’m not. So I need to cut down on the amount of books I get.
- Read some non fiction: I have found out that I really enjoy non fiction. So obviously, I need to read more of it.
- Read more science fiction: Last year I found out that I love to read science fiction. I need to read more.
- Read more classics: I love classics. Most of my favorite books are classics. I hardly read any last year.
- Read more horror: Same as the classics. I love horror. I grew up reading Goosebumps and watching horror movies with my dad. For some reason I just don’t read horror anymore. This needs to change.
- Stop with the guilt and the stress: Reading and blogging are supposed to be fun. There is nothing wrong with playing video games or sitting down with my dad to marathon a show. I don’t need to be reading every second that I’m awake. It’s okay to spend some time doing other stuff. I need to stop feeling guilty about doing other things. I need to have fun with read-a-thons, challenges and blogging. No more guilt and no more stress.

Good resolutions 🙂 I’m a mood reader too. I have lots of recommendations if yo need to get started again on the horror! LOL My TTT
Yes! Please give me all the recommendations. lol I need them.
What’s your horror loves? Psychological, creepsy, or gorey?
I love it all.
Oh, that makes this easy then. Check out on my rated 5s horror. There’ll definitely be something in there for you, they’re pretty varied.
Awesome! I will do that. Thank you.
I need to read more classics too! I used to devour them, but haven’t finished one in at least a year or two.
Same here. 2014 was so great for me. I mean I actually read 6 classics in January. I read a bunch of them that year. I don’t know what happened in 2015. I’m hoping to read at least one a month this year.
I would like to finish more series too. Great resolutions, here is my TTT http://angelerin.blogspot.com/2016/01/top-ten-tuesday-my-top-ten-most-ocd.html
Great list! You’re the…third? blogger now I’ve seen with “write more reviews” on their resolutions; I can’t wait to see what books you read and write things for (even small ones are great, in my opinion. apparently there’s someone who does haiku reviews!? I think that’s just awesome)
What are some of your favorite horror books?
I’m not sure. The first book that came to mind was Afraid by Jack Kilborn. I’ve also really enjoyed the Monstrumologist series. I still have to read the last book.
I own the first Monstrumologist but have yet to read it. I need to do that soon. XD
Some of my favorites include: It by Stephen King; The Suffering (The Girl from the Well #2) by Rin Chupeco; and Something Wicked this Way Comes by Ray Bradbury! They’re just all so creepy–in the best possible way! 😀
You need to read The Monstrumologist. It’s really good.
I love me some Stephen King and I own It but haven’t got to it yet. I hope to read it at some point this year. The others are on my wish list. If I haven’t already bought them by May I might just have to ask my parents if they will get them for me for my birthday. lol I really do want to read them.
Oooh, awesome! Well here’s hoping It is just the sort of creepy you’re looking for. The entire idea is just so disturbing to me!
Have you read Misery? I read it a couple months ago.
I haven’t read that one, but I’ve seen the movie! So creepeh! Especially how realistic it is–I mean, that could actually happen!
I really enjoyed it. Couldn’t put it down. I haven’t seen the movie yet. I should probably get on that.
And I should get on actually reading it! It’s on my shelves lol. XD
We should do it. You read Misery and I will read It. 🙂
Oh, I’m totally down for that! I agree!
Awesome. Now I just have to find the book. lol I know it’s on my shelves somewhere.
Hahaha right?! Me, too. XD
I found it. I think I’m going to read it next month. Hopefully I actually get to it. 🙂
Oh yay! 😀 Well, enjoy, when you get to it!
Good luck with all of your 2016 resolutions!
