This is the day of the week where we get to know each other better by answering a question devised by our lovely hostesses Parajunkee & Alisoncanread. GFC may go away so Bloglovin is probably a great way to follow me! And now for this week's question....
Q. Resolutions : Put together your blogger resolution list for us all to see.
A. For those of you who already follow my blog you have already seen these answers so I apologize for posting my 2014 blogging resolutions again.
Book Blogging Goals:
- Get my netgalley percent up to the 80% I discovered it's supposed to be at (discussed here) ... who knew? If you don't get your rate up you'll be more likely to get denied access to books.
- Attract more followers. I want people to come to the blog have fun and for them to want to talk about books! I don't really have a number of followers in mind. I guess I would like to start getting higher number pages views a day. Maybe more like 60-80 page views a day.
- Keep improving my blog layout. I have had the same blog design for a few years now but don't want to change it because I think people identify my blog with it. But I do like to keep tweaking things.
- Keep up my Sunday Post... I never did this because I didn't really enjoy taking pictures of the tons of books I got from the library. Then I saw people not just talking about what they received in books.. but what they would see out on the blogs, and just all kinds of other information. I love it when those posts are fun and hope to make mine better and better.
- Have an event of some type at the blog.. a readathon... or another month of fun (like my Wizard of Oz month).
Reading Goals:
- I want to hit my goal of 100 books this year. I am determined. I feel like I read a ton of books but I never actually reach 100.
- Keep reading with my goodreads bookclubs. Trust me this can be hard and annoying. I have to set up the polls, get people motivated to participate, and all that jazz.
Still really great goals ;) I hope you have a great weekend!!

DeleteHopping through. I really need to work on my layout. Well, mostly I need to transition to WP.

DeleteI'm actually a baby blogger, but these are awesome resolutions! I want to read 150 books this year! I doubt I'll be able to though! I followed you via bloglovin :)

I am going to read another book today maybe. I really want to get these reviews post up for it. I mean who knew? If I see a book I really want I don't want to be denied over a percentage.
DeleteOOh nice! Going to have to check out that Netgalley post later, didn't know that there was anything you "had" to do! Uh oh! ;)
ReplyDeleteHere's my Follow Friday
Have a GREAT day!

Your percent could be low! I didn't even know till recently when someone commented on one of my posts and mentioned it.

I’m also looking for reviewers of my e-book Language in the blood, let me know if you want a review copy.
Thanks
DeleteI agree with the Goodreads bookclubs. I love the challenges but sometimes I feel overwhelmed with 4 of them to keep up with! Good luck and have a great week.

I am just not a challenge person. I just want to read what I want to read when I want to read it. WANT! :)
DeleteMy Netgalley ratio is at 36% or something. I do get most of my requests approved ,and I'm even on the auto-approval list for a bunch of publishers. NO idea howthat works though. I want to get my ratio up to at least 60% this year.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my FF post for this week.
It's crazy!! Netgalley needs to just not be so confusing.
DeleteOh, and I followed through Bloglovin'.
ReplyDeleteHi! My name is Elizabeth and I am Redhead Reader. This is my first FF and I've followed you via Bloglovin. We both have Netgalley resolutions. I wish you good luck with your resolutions!
ReplyDeleteMy FF
Thank you!!
DeleteGreat goals! I'd love to get my Netgalley percent up to the coveted 80% too. For me it is all about prioritizing my reading and controling the click of the mouse.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your resolutions Angie!
It's crazy.. I really don't request a lot but I wasn't posting reviews of the ones I did get soo... I did read people will just write little blurbs on goodreads and that counts too.
DeleteHey, Angie, new Bloglovin' follower here. These are great goals! I want to just stop requesting from Netgalley so I can catch up on my reviews. And yeah, fix up my blog - I think it looks really plain. Here's my FFF post: http://roxysreviews.blogspot.ca/2014/01/feature-and-follow-friday-183.html
ReplyDeleteI sometimes want to fix my blog too. I have had the same template for almost 3 years now. Though I always think my followers probably just recognize it so I leave it.
DeleteI have been recently trying to get my NetGalley ratio up too. I am slowly getting there.
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe I am just now even learning about it. After all these years I hadn't seen anyone mentioning it till recently!
DeleteFantastic blog, great resolutions!

Thanks!
DeleteHey! Love the resolutions and I hope you succeed.
ReplyDeleteI would love to participate in a read-a-thon if you were to host one so go for it!
Old follower via Bloglovin!
Yea... we'll see. I started to think about the readathon and that might be too much work. Maybe if I co-hosted it with someone??? Who knows what the year will hold!!
DeleteGood luck with your goals! I know improving your NetGalley ratio can be hard!
