It’s time for the 2023 Bookish Resolutions Challenge
Bookish Resolutions Challenge is about setting New Year’s Resolutions for Reading, book blogging or Writing…You can sign up via blog post, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Tiktok or Goodreads!
This year we are sticking with the basics of Reading, Blogging and Writing. I am excited to get back into this challenge and I hope you are too. Now let’s get to all the rules and the sign up! 
Sign Up is between now to February 28th, the challenge starts January 1st and ends December 31st 2023
Rules:
- Create between 5 or more resolutions related to books/book blogging/writing (there are examples below but you can make up your own)(you can have as many resolutions as you would like, there is no limit)
- Create a signup post and add it to the Linky on this post (sign up before Feb 28th)
- Since this is a year long challenge we ask that you pick goals with some longevity. Pick a goal that will take you no less than 6 months to complete.
- Once your goals are set you cannot change them.
- Three time a year we will have an update to see how you are doing. March 1st, June 1st and September 1st. The last update will be the wrap up post.
- For each goal you complete you get one entry into the giveaway that will be in our wrap up post on December 31, 2023

Joining y’all this year. I always have some bookish resolutions I just somehow missed this challenge before. Thanks for hosting 😀
Hi
Plz delete link no. 6, I made a mistake. Link no. 7 is correct.
Fixed it! Glad to have you joining us!
interesting challenge. I am in.
I didn’t do so well with my resolutions last year but I think I did better than I would have without them. I’m adjusting and trying again this year. Thanks for hosting again!
I feel the same way Jen! even though I failed, it was way better than if I hadn’t set the goals in the first place.
Signed up! Really like this challenge as I tend to stick pretty close to these resolutions!
That’s great! Good luck and thanks for joining in!
Thanks for hosting again ladies!!
Glad you’re joining us !
Where is the sign up? (I might be blind, don’t discount that)
Omg I forgot to add it lol. I will put it in tomorrow.
