Top Ten Tuesday is weekly meme hosted The Broke and the Bookish. There is a new topic for each week and the participating bloggers are invited to post their Top Ten lists on it.

Some of the best book I read this year are written by new-to-me authors. Here is my Top Ten list. The order of the names is random and the links lead to the Goodreads page of the respective author.

Top Ten Bookish Goals/Resolutions for 2014 

Read new genres/types of books – It is high time I time some stories involving shapeshifters (I am thinking Nalini Singh), some historical romance  - I can’t believe I haven’t tried it yet, I am curious about the steampunk novels, as well. 

Read more –  Over the past year I was mainly focused on contemporary romance and New Adult, but I feel I need to read more YA, fantasy, sci-fi, literary fiction

Read less – I love biker books, rockstar romance, angsty New adult, but too many of the ones I read were really bad, so I will try to be more  careful what I pick this year

Review every book I read - I hesitate to write reviews of books I didn't like much and want to change that

Improve the style of my reviews - Practice makes perfect, you know :)

Increase blog’s popularity - I don't have a plan how to do that yet, but I will continue working on it

Try new authors - I have discovered a bunch of amazing new authors last year and hope to do so also in 2014

Request less ARCs - I need to be careful what I request since I often end up with too many ARCs and not enough time to read and review them 

Be more active on Pinterest - I am still thinking over how to organize my boards on Pinterest but I hope to collect/share more pins on my favourite books/series/authors

Organize more giveaways, participate in promos/book tours - I don't have much time for this but sending an email to a fan telling them that they won a giveaway makes me really happy.


Leave me a comment with a link to your Resolutions for 2014 and I will stop by to check them out!
