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.

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.

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.
