2018 Bookish/Reading Goals | Discussion – Coffee Cocktails & Books 📖

Hi friends,

Sorry about disappearing for the last two weeks. Finals week ended on the 22nd, I was in Long Island on the 23rd, and traveling to Minnesota for a week on the 25th. So yeah this shorter post is coming from the frozen tundra of MN. I have some drafts that I’m working on that will be up (hopefully) tomorrow so stay tuned for those!

I hope that you all had a great day/Holiday season and that whatever plans you have for New Years go well!

As we get closer to the new year I figured I could talk about some goals and plans for my reading, my blog/social media, and my life.

Reading:

2017 was a much more successful reading year than I initially anticipated. As you guys know, this is my first year back into reading in a long time and I honestly did not think I was going to get as much read as I did. Knowing how 2017 went, here are my goals for 2018:

Read 100 books
Read (at least) 5 Sarah J. Maas books
Read (at least) 6 Cassandra Clare books
Read more diverse books
Read at least 12 classics this year
Reread HP
Reread Twilight Saga (future video)
Catch up on my ARCs
Read new ARCs within one month of release
Be more selective with ARCs
Request ARCS
Get TBR (of books I own) to 50
Do 2-4 ReadAThons a Month

Blog/BookTube/Bookstagram Goals:

Joining this community was one of the best things I’ve done in 2017. Here are some plans I have going into the new year.

Upload content more regularly
- Aiming for 3 Booktube videos/week, 5 blog posts a week (daily if I have more free time), and upload on bookstagram daily
Increase follows/subscribers
- 1500 subscribers on the blog
- 1000 subscribers on YouTube
- 3000 followers on Insta
Work with a big publisher
Do more collaborations
Do more book reviews
Interact more with other content creators

Life Goals:

Graduate (currently on track for May, but need to catch up with my thesis a bit)
Get (and stay) organized
Get a job after graduation

So yeah, most of my goals are pretty basic and easy, but they’re some of the things I either struggled with this year or things I want to improve on. I’m sure I’ll have more goals as the year goes on, but here are some that I have now.

What are some of your goals in 2018?

Let me know below!
