It’s hard to believe another year is coming to an end and a New Year is beginning!
So here’s a look back at 2018 and a few goals to aim for in 2019!

Update of 2018 Challenges:
Mount TBR 2018 Challenge: I reached my Mount Blanc goal by reading 26 books from my TBR Pile.
Beat the Backlist 2018 Challenge: I read a total of 26 books from my TBR list that were published prior to 2018.
Goals for 2019:
- Read and Review fewer books for NetGalley up to a maximum of 100 and keep my Feedback Ratio above 90%.
- Read at least one book per month of a back title that I have purchased and own.
- Read at least one book per month that I was sent by an author/publisher in the past couple of years that I didn’t get a chance to read/review.
- Try and read a total of 200 books (no more 😜)
And lastly, I must thank all the authors, publishers, bloggers, and of course my family who have not only provided me with wonderful books to read but have supported me all year-long. I am truly honoured.
Wow! You’ve done a lot of reading! Happy New Year, and I hope you have just as many great reads in 2019 (up to a maximum of 200, of course… 😜)
Wow! That NetGalley feedback ratio is impressive. I think a lot of us, myself included, are planning to make 2019 the year we read more from our backlist and try harder to resist the lure of shiny new books. Easier said than done, of course 😁
268 books, oh my!
And you still managed to get to almost 100% on netgalley. #bookwormgoals 😀
Beartown and Us Against You were among my faves too this year.
Good luck with your goal next year. You did great this year. 268 books. I couldn’t 🤔 Could I? No way I couldn’t
268?! Wow! Wishing you a great bookish year for 2019!
268 very impressive!! You has a fantastic year, happy 2019 to you!!
You had a wonderful year, Zoe! Congratulations 🍾🎊🎉
Great entry Zoe, I loved Prosecco and Promises too! Best of luck with all your goals. I am going to reduce my Goodreads goal to 50-100 books but it was fun getting to 200 and further (210 in total) Have a great 2019! Thanks so much for all the likes for my book blog posts.
You read how many books? Where do you find the time for everything else? lol Congrats on a great year in books.
Such an impressive reading year! The Beartown books made my favorites list, too! I’d like to read more from my backlist, as well. Happy 2019!
