Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a happy and safe new year’s day! 2012 was an awesome year for our family. We were blessed with a new addition and preparing for our little girl really dominated the latter part of the year. Unfortunately, my reading a blogging took a hit and the hubs and I are still adjusting to having three children. I am now very slowly starting to read and blog again.

As such, I’m only making one bookish new year’s resolution: to get back into reading and blogging. I have so many great books to catch up on from 2012 and so many more awesome ones are being released this year. What about you? Have you made any bookish resolutions for the new year? Let me know in the comments.

Happy New Year and my Bookish Resolutions!

Happy new year everybody and I hope you had a fantastic holiday season! What’s a new year without resolutions and I am starting 2012 with some bookish ones. Here are my top five:

1. Borrow more library books, request less ARCs from NetGalley. I love my library and want to support it even more than I did last year.

2. Highlight books written by multi-cultural authors and/or featuring minority main characters. I super excited about this one and am co-hosting the 2012 Multi-Cultural Book Challenge. Make sure you sign up!

3. Catch up on the awesome books that were released in 2011 that I did not get to read. I love new releases but there are some current releases that I am dying to get to.

4. Read more YA contemporary books! I usually avoid contemps in favor of paranormal and dystopian books but after reading (and loving) There You’ll Find Me by Jenny B. Jones, I cannot wait to read more books like it. I’m happily taking recommendations for what contemporary novel to read next.

5. Keep book blogging fun, comment and network more and write more discussion related posts. The last one will be a bit of a challenge for me because I can be shy when giving my opinion but sometimes we have to step outside our comfort zone to grow.

What are your bookish new year’s resolutions?
