Recapping 2022 and looking ahead to 2023
Feel free to join us!
out with the OLD: 2022
As most of you know 2022 was not my year. Lots of depression, anxiety and just trying to keep my head above water. Half way through the year I decided i need to take a break from everything and that is when I found a great job and things started to look better. While I am super busy now with work, I haven’t worked full time in 17 years, I am feeling a little back to normal. I have a few things to work out but overall, I feel like I am in a better place then I was a year ago today.
Blogging/Reading was the thing that took the biggest hits because I just couldn’t focus. BUT I missed it so much, I missed doing all my favorite memes, features and challenges. So my plan is to get back to it…
in with the NEW: 2023
So my main goal for this year with blogging is to find a balance and if that means I miss a few days here or there that is ok. I read like 10 books last year, not even full length books but it’s a new year and we always get a fresh start. Time to leave 2022 in the past and focus on 2023 my goal this year is to find my happiness again. Find what makes me happy and doing what I love.
This year I plan to hopefully read a good 65 books, I plan to get back into devouring Manga and just reading books I have been collecting. I am all about the Chunky book this year. I want to read, I miss diving into a book and just being so invested. I hope to get as many books as I can read this year and get back to blogging. I have lots of memes and features I want to keep up with so I am listing what will be back and maybe some new stuff.
Back this year
The Sunday Post might not be every weekend. Since cheer season has started I might try to do every other week just to give some updates, unless I find myself having some time to do it every week then I will.
I also have a few more that I plan to do that don’t have logos yet. Especially a Manga Monday and a Short & Spicy read, plus I plan to revamp my reviews to make them shorter and easy to get to the point of what I liked or didn’t like.
Challenges
My TBR list is back this year also, Berls and I plan to do a full year of buddy reading. We have a poll up this weekend if you want to stop by and vote.
Can you read a series in a month is also back this year, we are currently in a special addition one but should have another coming up in a few months.
Bookish Resolutions is also back, I should be able to keep up this year with the update posts and an end post. Apologizes for those people that joined last year and I went MIA.
COYER is back with our 10 year anniversary. We are doing things UPSIDE DOWN!
As for other challenges I might participate in this year, I haven’t really decided, I know it is getting later in the month. Some Signups are open for at least two months, so I am hoping to maybe join a few, if not maybe some monthly ones instead.
