Resolutions: Mid-Year Update

Posted by: The Book Vixen

We’re a little over half way done with 2011 so I decided to revisit my New Year Resolutions post to see how I was doing. People, I shouldn’t be making resolutions – I’m horrible at committing to them. (Actually, I was smart enough to call them ‘goals’. See how well I know myself?)

My Goals for 2011:

1. Read 100 books this year. <--- I’m on track to reach this goal so yay! But we’ll see how things go once I have the baby.
2. Not get behind on writing reviews. <--- I actually got completely caught up, once. And it didn’t last long.
3. Read more Urban Fantasy. <--- I’ve read a couple of UF series so far. Go me!
4. Manage time spent online more effectively. <--- I’m still bad at this. Damn you, Twitter!
5. Become a runner. <--- About 2 weeks into my treadmill workout (I was starting off with walking) I found out I was pregnant. Maybe next year.

YA books I’m anxious to read in 2011:

1. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins <--- Still need to read. Plan to do so very soon.
2. The Mockingbirds by Daisy Whitney <--- Maybe next year.
3. Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan <--- Read it and didn’t like it
4. The Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead <--- Still dying to read this series! Hopefully this year.
5. Where She Went by Gayle Forman <--- Read it and enjoyed it.
6. The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins <--- Another series I’m still dying to read. Again, hopefully this year.
7. The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson <--- Maybe next year.
8. Unwind by Neal Shusterman <--- Maybe next year.

Adult books I’m anxious to read in 2011:

1. Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning <--- Read it. It was okay but didn’t meet my expectations.
2. Lover Mine by J.R. Ward <--- Still need to read. Hopefully this year.
3. April & Oliver by Tess Callahan <--- Maybe next year.
4. Backstage Pass by Olivia Cunning <--- Read it and it was made of awesome!
5. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro <--- Still need to read. Hopefully this year.
6. Fast Track series by Erin McCarthy <--- I am completely caught up with this series. I cannot wait for Slow Ride to come out.
7. The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook <--- Maybe next year.
8. Touched by an Alien by Gini Koch <--- Maybe next year.
9. Downside Ghosts series by Stacia Kane <--- Maybe next year.
10. A Megan Hart book <--- Maybe next year.

If you made some resolutions or goals for 2011, how’s your progress so far?
