The 2015 Bookish Resolutions Challenge hosted by A Reader Lives A Thousand Lives and Because Reading is Better Than Real Life.
Every month on the 30th I will be doign my recap of that month. You can check out my goal post here
January Recap
- Accept no more than 1 book with a deadlines each month. Completed this goal for January, I had no deadline books in January. So far none for February either, so I hope I can keep that up.
- Read at least 3 (cozy) mysteries. Not doing too well with this goal yet, I haven’t read any mysteries yet, although I did grab one mystery from netgalley.
- Read at least 3 historical romances. I haven’t read any historical romances yet either. I did buy a paperback copy of a paranormal historical romance that I am planning to read for this challenge
- Read at least 20 review books this year. I am doing great for this goal, I only read review books this month and got 5 review books read already! And I am reading another review book now. If I continue like this I am going to reach this goal without much trouble.
- Organize at least 30 tours with Lola’s Blog Tours than last year. I am doing good with this goal as well, so far I am organizing 6 tours this year! You can check out the tour banners below. With Lola’s Blog Tours I am usually doing work for the month ahead and as December was a slow month there weren’t any tours in January, but I am hoping I can compensate for that in a later month.
Hey! Way to go for your challenge! You’ve really gotten a good start on your resolutions. I need to do way better this next month. I did a little better this month, but not disciplined enough.
Thanks! I am really happy to see what I already accomplished this month and I didn’t think I would read that many review copies in one month already.
Great Job with your goals! I am doing not to bad myself.
keep it up! I am honestly loving this challenge really keeping my butt in line 🙂

Thanks! Glad to hear you’re doign pretty good as well! And indeed I like how this challenge is keeping my butt in line. I am really rocking that review goal, I almost wish I could up it. Just noticed I forgot to update it for my last book so I have read 5 of 20 reviews books already.
You can totally go over and keep track of it! I put my netgalley at 65% however I would love to get to 80% I only put 65 to be on the safe side 🙂

Yeah that’s true, if I reach the goal early I can just continue tracking and see how many review books I can read in total. The more the better ofcourse as I just keep accepting new ones, so making a dent in that pile sometimes seems impossible.
Woohoo! Congrats on your resolutions! I love your tours so looking forward for more! Keep it up Lola 😀
Have a great weekend!

I really had great fun hosting your tours so it’s one of the things that I look forward to as a blogger! 🙂 I do have to agree! I have been receiving lots of blog hosting opportunities! Cheers for February!

aww thanks, that makes me happy to hear :).
December was a slow month and it seems that in the new year all authors are looking into tour opportunities again.
That is great news for us! 🙂 However I have lesser time to review books so I normally would go for simpler tours :p

Indeed :). I usually have quite some book blitzes as well and tours ofcourse don’t reguire reviews either. I always like how blog tours provide for both those who don’t like reviews and for those who only like reviews.
I am hoping to have some tours for end february and early march soon.
Yey go Lola! You’re doing great on your goals 🙂 Good luck for next month!

Thanks Laura, I am really happy with my progress so far!
My resolution for this month was to finish writing the Tokyo Run book (which now has a real title!) and I’m two scenes from the end. I really want to finish it today and hit this goal 🙂 We’ll see if I make it!

You keep making me curious with comments like that, I want to know the real title and read the book, but I guess I’ll have to wait a bit longer for that. Good luck today with writing and let’s hope you reach that goal 🙂
Your doing great, me not so great..lol. I am rocking my reading challenges but not my bookish resolution..lol
Stormi recently posted…Monthly Challenge Update: January
Ah well let’s hope you do better next month. And while I made good progress with 3 of my resolutions, I didn’t do as well with the other two. But it’s only the start of the year, so I am hoping to make that up in later months.
You are off to a pretty good start with your challenge goals. I’m sure you will catch up with the mysteries and historicals soon enough.

Indeed January was a great start. And I hope I can catch up to the mysteries and historicals soon, but if I don’t get around to them for a few more months it isn’t too bad either, there’s still plenty of time.
You are off to a great start! Good luck in February!
