New Year's Reading Resolutions

Candace at Candace’s Book Blog, Lori from Pure Imagination, and Angel from Reading Angel are hosting a New Year’s Reading Resolutions Hop
Candace's Book BlogReading AngelPure Imagination

My Reading Resolution? To read at least one book a week – that’s 52 books for the year. It shouldn’t be a problem as I read twice that last year. Except – I need to read them from my TBR list. Yes, that will be hard!

To enter my giveaway all you need to is to submit a comment below with your resolution and email address. I’ll be choosing a winner on January 9th and that winner can pick three books from my list of giveaway books (subject to change without notice!).

Now, stop by some other blogs and enter!

Written by Regina Hott

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!

  28. Maria (pronounced Mariah) I blame my mother...

    I am new to the blog scene and don't have one…I just like to check them daily and read reviews and such. I am however a very avid reader…I didn't keep track last year but probably read close to 175-200 books. I average about 4 books per week. I think my resolution will be to track how many books I read this year and actually write a few reviews…just for myself. Maybe when I get a fulltime assistant and some time off I can do more.

    Thank you!
