Holiday Break Reading Challenge: Goals for 2011

Today's task of the Holiday Break Reading Challenge is to list our goals for 2011. I don't really make resolutions, but I like the idea of listing my goals for some reason even though I know that they're pretty much the same thing. The word "goals" just sounds so much nicer I suppose ... 

Anyway, my goals for the year would be to:

1. Read more. I'm a procrastinator and since my laptop is usually on when I'm studying, I tend to watch TV shows or surf the Internet when I'm bored or tired. If I spent some of that time reading instead, who knows how many more books I could finish.
2. Comment more. There's a couple of blogs I usually check where I always try to leave a comment but then there are blogs that I regularly check where I don't leave comment. I'm hoping that will be changed this year. 
3. Have more author interviews. I had one last year to get my feet wet, and would love to do more this year since I enjoyed the experience.

Holiday Break Reading Challenge: Easy Christmas Activity

Today's task of the the Holiday Break Reading Challenge is to to take a picture of the novel you're reading, and then turn to page 25 and type out line 25.

As you can see, I'm currently reading The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner, and line 25 from page 25 happens to say, "Just keep your mouth shut, do you understand?"

Holiday Break Reading Challenge: Goals

The first task of the Holiday Break Reading Challenge is to set goals. So, over the holiday break, I'm going to aim to:

1. Read at least 5 books
2. Post at least 4 reviews (i.e. two reviews a week)
3. Figure out what I want to do for the New Year's Reading Resolutions Hop
4. Load up on sleep - I'm planning to spend as much time as possible snuggled under my blanket :)
