2019 Book Resolutions Tag!

Hey everyone! So Thursdays on the blog I am going to post a new tag. I think tags are so much fun, and I enjoy the time to reflect on what I’ve read in the past, or what I want to read. Images come from Goodreads. I grabbed the questions from this blog

1. An author you’d like to read (that you’ve never read before).
Leigh Bardugo! I have heard such great things about the Grisha verse, so I want to see if it lives up to all the hype. I have a feeling it will, and I am intrigued by the world. I got the first three books in the series as one large Ebook, so I’m going to start that next month. I can’t wait to go on the journey and be immersed in a new series! 
2. A book you’d like to read.
Romanov by Nadine Brandes

I love Anastasia and the Romanov family. This looks like such a fantastic retelling. I am drawn in just reading the blurb on Goodreads. 
3. A classic you’d like to read.
A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I’ve had the Barnes and Nobel edition of this book sitting on my shelf for a while, and this is the year I would like to read it! I have heard a few songs from the musical if I remember correctly, and from what I remember I enjoyed them. I just looked up a summary of this book, and I can’t believe it took me thing long to read this book. Just from the description, this has the potential to be one of my favorite classics. 
4. A book you’d like to re-read.
29414576
Tash Hearts Tolstoy by Kathryn Ormsbee. This was my favorite book of 2017! It’s been a year since I’ve read it, and I have a feeling that it could be another fun summer read for me. I loved Tash, and  I need to revisit this story this year. 
5. A book you’ve had for ages and want to read.
Renegades by Marissa Meyer. I’ve had the book for over a year, and from the description, it seems like it’s right up my alley. Superheroes?! Yes, please! I would also like to read the sequel. This will be my first Marissa Meyer book. 

6. A big book you’d like to read.
So, once I finish War & Peace, I would like to read Anna Karenina. I enjoyed the movie a few years back, but I would love to read the book that started the story as well

7. An author you’ve previously read and want to read more of.
Ashley Poston! I have two of her books on pre-order, and I have Geekerella already! I loved Heart of Iron so much that I want to read everything by her. 

8. A book you got for Christmas and would like to read.
I love a retelling and I love The Nutcracker. This seems like such a magical book.

9. A series you want to read from start to finish.
I am a one big series a year type of person so I would love to read the entirety of The Grisha Verse. This includes the book coming out in a few weeks. 

10. A series you want to finish that you’ve already started.
38880852
I don’t know? I’m not sure if Heart of Iron is only a Duology or not, but I am going to read the next installment this summer. 

11. Do you set reading goals? If so, how many books do you want to read in 2019?
I set a goal of 30 books this year. I am less busy than I used to be, post graduation so I don’t have school anymore. I do have freelancing that takes sometimes, and I also have other things that get in the way. I used to do 20 books, but when I read 27 books last year, I wanted to up it by 10 books this year. 
12. Any other reading goals?
Yes! As many people probably say, I would like to get my physical tbr down. Also, as I said in my 2019 goals post, I would like to review 15 of the 30 books that I read this year for my blog here.

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  2- Miriam Kendrick from C

Top Ten Tuesday- Favorite Books of the Year Part 1 (12-21)

    Hi! Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @ thatartsyreadergirl . The purpose of this meme was to bring the book blogging community together and foster our love of lists. Each week, Jana posts a topic, and we readers respond based on that prompt. This week our topic is a freebie, so I decided to make my list of my top ten reads part one.   Middle Grade 12- Never After by Melissa de la Cruz I'm almost done with this book. It's a duology, and I loved the new twist on fairy tales.    YA 13- Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith I read this early in the year and it stuck with me. This YA Contemporary about gaming and the culture of the gaming industry was fantastic.  14- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It took me years to read this book but I really enjoyed it. I love the unique narrator, the characters, and the story.  15- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas This is another backlist release. I loved this book, and I knew when I read it that it had the potential to be on this list. I still thi
