2013 Rewind

It is almost 2014! Man, did this year go by fast! I was hoping to accomplish a lot on my blog this year. Unfortunately, that was not the case. As I have said multiple times this year, I failed. My life schedule was so different and more hectic than I am use to that I could not get time in to be a good book blogger.

My Goals for 2014 are to...

- Get up earlier ( to work out and to get reading in)
- Update My Blog More Often
- Not only to post consistantly but to schedule post WAY in advance
- Improve my Youtube Channel
- Work on my Fundraiser (this involves my company as well)
- Go to my Author Events
- Be a better blog reader (i.e read,comment and share other bloggers posts more)
- Read 115 Books.

As you can see I didn't make this years goal and I missed last years by ONE book (99 out of 100)! I felt 125 was a good goal since I read at a fast and consistent pace in 2012. Unfortunately, I got no where near my goal this year and I feel 115 for 2014 is still an achievement, even if I am not setting a higher goal than the previous one. 
58 is the total I read this year and I think you can see all but one or two in the links at the upper left corner. 

My Favorite Book This Year: TIE Princess Forever By Meg Cabot and Paper Towns By John Green
My Favorite 2013 Release : The Truth About You & Me By Amanda Grace
Book That Made Me Cry The Most: Catching Fire By Suzanne Collins
Book That Surprised Me: Nantucket Blue By Leila Howard
Book That Wasted My Time: FlyGirl By Syd Blue
Book That I Hated The Most: Mockingjay By Suzanne Collins
Book That Let Me Down: The Diviners By Libba Bray
Favorite Series: Bloodlines Series By Richelle Mead


Anyways. Thank you VERY much to  all those people who continue to still read my blog, who comment, subscribe and interact with me. It means SO much to me. Thank You and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello, 2013!

Woohoo!
2013.
So, a few days ago... back when it was 2012. I mentioned I was behind and this first week of 2013 was going to be a lot of catching up and a lot of 2012 rewindy like stuff. So, I honestly hope you don't mind that. 

2012 was a pretty awesome year for me. A lot happened. Which over the course of 5 months or so, made me become increasingly busier and busier and made, reading and blogging a lot harder to keep up with. 

I would Like to Say that, all that is over but the truth is 2013 is going to be a pretty HUGE year for me. Starting with big things like My MIL's Wedding (which I am helping plan), My Husband's Nana and Bumpa's 50th Anniversary Vow ReNewal (also helping plan that), My SIL's Wedding, and My Husband and I's 1 Year Anniversary Party (which obviously, I am also planning). That also isn't including the launch of My Mom and I's company and a million other smaller things (like trying to attend BEA this year)

Because of all this I am REALLY REALLY Going to try hard to stay up to date with this blog . Please Be Patient With Me,

 I Hope Everyone Had A Safe And Happy New Years. As You Are Reading This, Brandon and I are spending the 1st day of 2013 in Disneyland!
