2015 Bookish Resolutions Progress Report lets you check in every month to tell us know how you are doing with your Bookish Resolutions and keeps you moving closer to your goal. We look forward to cheering you on to success!
So how is it going?
Well it isn’t going that bad but it isn’t going that great either and when the twitter party for this challenge rolled around Laura and I both totally forgot. We would love to know if you are all interested in doing the twitter parties still? We plan so to be more active on Twitter so please keep an eye on the hashtag, I think we need to cheer each other on more and update out progress throughout the month. The hashtag is #BookishResolutions.

How are you doing with your goals?
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
I couldn’t make the twitter party and only later realized it hadn’t taken place. I have a column in tweetdeck for the hashtag, but forget to check regularly. I’ll try to use it more. I think it would be nice to have a place to cheer each other one as I am sure we all have one of those goals that don’t go quite as well as we would like.
You’re doing pretty good with most fo your goals and it’s great to see the progress you’re making. You’re doing better than me for netgalley, I am at 67% at the moment. And you’re doing great with those blogging goals and writing your reviews on time! Too bad about those two personal goals, but there’s still time to do those!
Looks like things are going well these first three months. Hopefully you have time to get around to those craft projects; sounds like it will be fun times with the kids! Keep it up! I’m struggling with my personal goals, but I’m hoping to surprise myself soon. lol
Seems like it’s going pretty well to me, Michelle! I need a better system for tracking my Netgalley reads. I think I’ll just have to create a journal though. Electronic is just *hard* for me! LOL Keep up the good work, girl!
I have a hard time doing it Eletronically also. I am going to use the spreadsheet since it sort of worked last year but I found a better way. If I could find a journal that will allow me to do what I want I might handwrite instead, it’s just so hard to find what works.
You are doing really good with your goals. 🙂 Hope you get to the ones that you haven’t had a chance to yet. Still plenty of time. 🙂
I do hope to get a chance to get to the ones I haven’t gotten to yet and yes plenty of time.
I’d love to know how you are doing your spreadsheets. I’ve been looking for a ‘good way’ to do them and I feel like all the ways I’ve found will just take me so long to get started!
I used to keep track of EVERY book I had but instead I now just keep track of the books I have from Netgalley , Edelweiss and Publisher/Review. This way I know what I have and when I need to read them. I would be happy to send you my spreadsheet to try out yourself , just email me at Limabean74@aol.com and I will send it over, just let me know if you use excel or numbers. The set up takes a little bit of time but once you have all your current books in it will be easy to keep up.
