#FridayReads / Weekly Goals 1.2.15

This is a new feature (to the blog) where we’ll be sharing what we plan on reading in the coming week starting Friday; hence the #FridayReads hashtag :P. We’ll also share if we accomplished the previous weeks goals since we’re moody readers and tend to stray from planned lists. Yeah…. this should be interesting lol.

#FridayReads: What I plan on reading this week

These Broken Stars by Aimee Kaufman - I have been trying to read this book for two weeks but I’ve been so darn busy that I haven’t even read the first page! So hopefully it’ll turn out to be the first book I read this year. :)









Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas - I’ve heard awesome things about this book so I’m really excited to finally read it!

and then MAYBE these books:

This Shattered World by Aimee Kaufman

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas

How about you guys? What are you planning on reading this weekend and coming week?

Xo!

#FF Feature and Follow: 1.2.15

Hi guys! This week we’re joining in on Parajunkee and Allison Can Read’s Feature and Follow blog hop. We’re super excited to meet and make new friends! If you’re here for the hop, we’d love for you to follow us via bloglovin’. Please leave a comment below so we can follow back! Xoxo!

This week’s question is:
What was your favorite book of 2014?

Who can choose just one?! My favorite books by far were Cress by Marissa Meyer and Wicked by Jennifer Armentrout (reviews coming soon). Those books gave me all kinds of feels and have me dying to read the next ones in the series. Too bad I have to wait so long for both of them! Ahhhh!

I agree that it's impossible to pick just ONE favorite book so here are a few of my favorites!
So. Many. Feels.

What were YOUR favorite books of 2014?

Top Ten Tuesday 12.30.14

This week’s topic is:
Top Ten Goals/Resolutions For 2015 -- bookish, blogging or otherwise!

My top ten goals for this year are…
1. Read 40 books - The past few years have sucked for me in regards to reading. I’d like to get back to my happy hobby so I’m going to push myself to read at least 40 books. This may not sound like much to some but for me it’s quite a bit lol.
2. Review the majority of the books I read. I usually don’t like to review books but I feel like I’ve finally found ‘my voice’. At last!
3. Be consistent with posts.
4. Create new features for the blog.
5. Make more time for myself as well as family and friends. ♥
6. Call Isalys more! And hopefully go visit her this year. #IMissMyBestie
7. Lose weight and get healthy.
8. Manage my time better
9. Make more money!
10.  Vacation more :)

Isalys has one main goal:
To take a break! She wants to step back from blogging a bit and focus on her personal life. Don’t fret though! She’ll still be around. Just not as much as usual. :)

What are YOUR goals for the coming year? :)

Xoxo!

Our 2015 Reading Challenge

Hi guys! This year Isalys and I have decided to keep things rather simple in regards to challenges so when we came across this one hosted by Pop Sugar we thought ‘Perfect!’. When you look through the list it seems both doable and challenging which we love!

So how about you guys? What challenges will you guys  be doing? :)
