Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m going to try for 20 hours in #20in4 No kids home this weekend. There‘s snow on the ground, food in the fridge, sure what else would I be doing? 🤷‍♀️ (packing I should be packing for a trip, I hate packing 🤨) @Andrew65

As the year closes and a new one opens its doors I've started to think of what I want in 2023.

For my #ReadingGoals I hope to focus more on quality instead of quantity. I am not aiming for a number but more for what speaks to me. I still plan to participate in challenges but I will be more low-key and not stress over it. This past year I haven't enjoyed reading as much as usual and I want to get that feeling back 😁

I can‘t believe it‘s the end of the year already, ugh. I don‘t think my goals change much each year but in 2023, I definitely need to double down on finishing the 20+ books I have half-read. And since I‘ve been kinda MIA and haven‘t logged/reviewed much in 2022, I need to spend time updating StoryGraph, Litsy, etc. with what books I‘ve read. #readinggoals

Planning some goals for 2023. We'll see if I stick to them.

Who wants to be friends on StoryGraph? I'm listed under the same name if you want to add me.

#BFC2022

A little late wrapping up June, which was a good month in terms of fitness. I made my Apple Watch move goal every day throughout the month, and increased my goal each of the last two weeks. More long #suburbanhiking with hubby as his orthopedic issues improve. I wish I‘d read more, but I‘m happy where I am. My cardiologist was happy, too, with all my test results. So, my goal for July is 85 miles, and lots of pictures.

Team #BFC2022 can you believe we're 1/2 through 2022?!?

I did okay with my June fitness goals. Not great but making progress. But I'm in a terrible reading slump. For July, my goals:

* Keep going with Future fitness app
* Restart yoga practice
* try to read something, anything

How are you doing?

Although June ends Q2, I will have to postpone the quarterly drawing. I'm getting ready to move back to the U.S., and so I will do 2 drawings in Sep.

While I have done well sticking with my reading goals (nonfiction is actually going well!), I started working at the orchard again in the middle of the month and it kind of threw off my morning exercise routine. However, I'm determined to get back on that bandwagon for April, as well as keeping up reading at least a chapter a day of a nonfiction TBR book. Thanks for hosting & encouraging @wanderinglynn !!! #BFC2022

I am way behind on 2022 already, but I am catching up..a bit. I was gonna make my goals for January when I returned from vacation but instead got COVID. I was not eating well while I was sick and hardly read at all, but the last week of January was productive, so I am getting back to my normal self again and hope to return to my after work walking again this month. #BFC2022 @wanderinglynn

I don‘t know if I am capable of following through with this but I am going to try my best. Considering that I have about 300+ books on my TBR, I will have to be very discerning as to whether to read them or discard them. Wish me luck!

2021 in review and my bookish goals for 2022!!! 🤓

This is what I was able to accomplish last year. Life got super crazy.

#ReadingGoals for 2022. Excited to start this new year of reading!! 📚📚📚#2022readinggoals #2022goals #readinggoals2022

While nice to get the confetti celebration from Goodreads when I hit my reading goal, I am making a resolution to no longer participate in their challenge.

I am regularly stressed out by GR showing me how far behind I am and sure as hell didn‘t appreciate their ‘check-in‘ emails with suggested ‘short reads to get back on track‘.
Shut up, GR.

Onward, I need to keep reading fun by posting on Litsy + looking into StoryGraph as a GR alternative.

@Andrew65 #MarvellousMarch

I had two goals. The first was to finish the books I‘d picked up and started, but hadn‘t completed. The second was to at least start a couple I‘d been telling myself I wanted to read and since it‘s women‘s history month, it seemed like the perfect time. Roughly two chapters into Sensuous Knowledge and starting chapter four in Biased.

I found these awesome quotes while surfing around the net. Thought it was perfect for the #NewYear_NewYou group. Whatcha think?

#2021ReadingGoals #JumpIntoJanuary
I set the first two goals every year. The third is important to me because I tend to sit on borrowed books and it's a bad habit; luckily my friends are so generous! The last few feel a little more nebulous, but I don't want to reduce diversifying and decolonizing my reading to a numbers game; instead, I want to broaden my support of authors who are BIPOC, disabled, LGBTQ+, in all ways, and far into the future.

My 2021 Reading Goals are going to be loose ones this year!

📚Read 100 Books... hopefully exceed that - tracking on both #goodreads and #storygraph this year

📚Continue to diversify my reading - including books by and about a variety of BIPOC authors/characters, LGBTQIA+ authors/characters, taking place in cultures other than US/UK, and generally try to expand my horizons as much as possible. Would love your recommendations!!

A fresh start...

I realize the year isn‘t even halfway over (how can it only be mid-June? I feel like I‘ve aged 20 years since March!), but it can‘t be too early to set up next year‘s personal reading challenge, right? I went nuts comfort book buying, so I think next year, my only goal will to try to conquer at least 3/4 of these stacks. I plan to read a couple of them this year, but ooof. There‘s a lot of books here. #madness

Happy Wednesday (yes, i'm late again!!! SORRY 😭)! It is #NewYear_NewYou day. I thought i would go towards moods and books today. I found a site that helps you pick books to read by how you are feeling. Give it a look. Hope you can check off some of that TBR with your moods.

Happy Monday Littens!!! For #SocialDistancingMay and #SocialDistancingParty, it is the weekly check-in for our groups. Feel free to join in even if you aren't part of our groups. And if you would like to join one or all of our groups, we would love to have you. Here is our question for #NewYear_NewYou today.

With the pandemic, some of my goals are on pause at the moment. But I am doing okay with others. I have made something similar to a wheel of life in my bullet journal (this year and previously) because I think they are pretty and it is nice to compare them to previous years. But I don‘t find that it helps with working towards my goals specifically haha

#SocialDistancingMay #SocialDistancingParty #NewYear_NewYou

So it is Check-In Day for our groups (every monday)...

Hey guys : I dabbled in a little non - fiction and came up with this short e-book. Please follow the link and get your FREE copy. I hope you like it 😅

I read a lot of books last year, but I was also largely unemployed. As a result, I made my reading goal smaller. I might have to increase it if I keep reading at this pace 😬

Day 3 - #2020ReadingGoals #AuldLangReads

Here are my #2020resolutions #readinggoals.
200 books read this year. I‘m making an additional goal of at least 2 physical books a month. For #Jumpstart2020 I‘m making a goal of 10 books by January 19!
