4.Get a little more organized and schedule more posts in advance.

  1. WOW YOU READ SO MUCH!! I will clap for you now :D I only read like 59 books this year, but you read a lot! I don't think i can manage to do that haha! I'm sorry you didn't finish some of your challenges last year. At least you can join some more for 2015. There's a lot to choose from ^.^

  2. We read almost the same number of books last year! I read 112 but my goal was 100 so I guess I did well :) I've never done a challenge before but I'm really interested in joining a few this year! Hope you have better luck in completing some more in 2015 :D Happy 2015!

  3. AW 5 books short! Thats a bummer but 110 books is still great!! And you wrote a 50,000+ words among all that so kudos to you!! I love following your blog and think all of your posts are wonderful! And I have pretty much the same resolutions +investing time in new features (which I failed at last year). PS: It's so weird to say last year and mean 2014.

  4. Happy New Year, Kay! Wow, you read so many wonderful books-congrats on meeting some of your challeges. I'm horrible at those, but I did pretty well for Goodreads this year. Hope this year brings you some great reads and I look forward to seeing what you think of Compulsion :)
