Hey guys, and welcome to today's video
which is going to be about my 2017
reading goals it is officially the new year
it's after midnight so hopefully
everyone had an amazing new years.
Let's get into my reading goals for the
year, I'm gonna do a separate video
probably from our writing goals the year
i mentioned briefly in one of my Let's Write
uploads. So let's get right into my
reading goals. I actually don't
really have too many goals last year I really
didn't set any goals for myself either
have a little more this year than I did last
year. Last year I really didn't set any goals for
myself except the goodreads goal and I
didn't end up surpassed my goodreads goal
twice, I started 60 books past that 70
and past 80 which I read 81 books in 2016.
And that was really good and while i
read a lot of books and I enjoyed a lot
of books and i'll end up only on dislike
about 15 total books out of all
eighty books, so that's really good number
but one there's nothing going to focus
on this year is I'm not gonna do a
goodreads goal is it as like one book type
of thing like a lot to see a lot of
people doing it because I've found that
my mindset last year was really about
reading books in order to complete the
goal and to get the numbers up there. And
I don't focus on that like 1 of my goals this
year is the reading more quality books
or quantity of books. I found myself
last year reaching for smaller books
because I knew that I can't read them
within a span one week. I went for books that
were about three hundred the average about
328 book, because I knew that I could
read that book within the weeks and I
need to complete my goal and I really don't
want to have that mindset in 2017. I want
to read a book because it sounds
interesting and not because, "hey it has
it sounds okay and has a good amount of
page", that I can finish a week and that mindset
that I had to keep reading a lot of
books I can't talk about the new fresh
books every kind of video type of thing
and this year I don't want to do that I want to
focus on the books that sounds to me
that what size of our that really all
leads into my other reason I was well
but one of our goals this year's read
more classic books. I want to read a lot
Classics
that is the one genre that I very
very much lack in and one of the books is
war and peace I want read war and peace in the year
2017 and that book like 1500 pages so
that's is like my thing to break
down the, the.... I can't this of the right word for
is but to break down the hold I put
myself for big books and to kinda just
focus more on the story sounds
interesting and I want to be the moment
let's read that book whether it's
300 pages, 500 pages, 600 plus
pages i want to read that book. So that
is going to be one of my goal is to have more quality
over quantity and then more classic
books and besides that there's one thing
that and it's not really a reading goal
is more of a personal thing for me and
that is i'm going to try and stop
listening to the hype train that goes on
here booktube and it's going to be a
struggle you're probably see me fall and
failed from very early on the new book
comes out but I've kinda burned a few
times by books back up light but i
really like popular booktubers and while
it's good that the books coming out
there especially the spot like a new
author and stuff like that a lot of hype
get into it I find that a lot of times I
get burned by it because all these other
people say this so amazing so good it's
best book that came out that month whatever
they're saying. I pick
it up and like it's an average book it's
an average YA book that's out whatever book
it is and I find myself getting to the
point where i want to stop doing that
and book sounds interesting sales buy it
off of that i know i'm going to love
i'll pick up course like that but we're
kind of hold myself back two three four
month period after the hype can kind of
past, like wave the train on as it
goes
and just like sit inside lifestyle and
just waiting as it goes but i wanna
kinda just wait and see more opinions on
the book first read more reviews on the
book especially if it's by a new author
that I've ever heard of, or maybe a
new debuting author
or just get a little more time and to
see that way I'm not burned as much by
the hype kind of dies down and dip into
the book and be like ok let me go in
with open mind now that i know that
there is positive things that can be
negative things about this book and just
can't go a lot more neutral mindset and
another thing i would try to pick up
more in this year's kind more critical
reading I've been doing a lot more
critical reading in the last few months
of the year i found myself kind of
finding the books that I really
gravitate towards and kind of the
writing style that really gravitate
towards and I want to come to keep
doing that more cause that's how you can
grow as a reader it can be more critical
not to the point where you don't enjoy
reading anymore which the point where
you just kind of you're more
aware of what you're like in a book and
that's what I'm going to try focusing on
in 2017. So that is all my goal it's
going to be very quick video that's my
goals for 2017. If you want you let me
