January TBR+Other Random Stuff

SO, I hope everyone's holiday break has been fun and filled with books and hot cocoa and all that goodness(mine sure has; unfortunately, all that food has to go somewhere and it's gone to my stomach ;p). Basically, this post is just an update on how my life is going and what's going on in my head. That's one of my goals of 2015: don't be afraid to spew words on the blog when you feel like it. Also, another goal of mine is to kind of do a "monthly" meme-type-of-thing. I might do this twice a month, possibly. Maybe tell you guys the books I'm planning on reading and at the end of the month, discuss what books I read and other things I posted on the blog. If you have ideas for me, I'm taking them!
Back onto the main purpose. The books I'm planning on reading in no particular order:

 Physical books:


Ebooks/E-ARCs:
18488433 18460392 18660756

You might notice that alot of the books on this month's TBR are physical books. This is entirely because I have too many books on my shelves that I haven't read yet. And alot of them I'm really excited to read! The end result: reading more for my pleasure than obligation to other books I know I probably wouldn't like. Also, some of these I might not read, simply because I didn't like the plot/writing/etc. This year I'm trying to be more flexible, while still sticking to a schedule. I've tried doing the whole-not-DNFing-thing before, and it just ended up worse for me. I'm hoping by doing this, I'll end of happier and with more books read and enjoyed!
Well, I hope everyone had a happy new year's! I will be returning back to school on Monday, so don't be surprised if you don't see me on twitter during the day as often. Tell me about yourselves! What books are you reading? Are you going back to school as well? Are any of these books on your TBR too? Reading goals and resolutions for 2015? Comment freely :)

  1. I have made similar resolutions this year. No more blog tours because I, too, often dislike the books or feel very "meh" about them. I also hate having to post a review on a specific day. I'm only requesting ARCs of books that I think I'll really like and I'm not going to request ALL THE BOOKS! lol I actually have been doing a random selection from my library every second or third read to get tosome of the older books that I just never got to over the past couple of years.

    I also have no problem DNFing a book. I feel like life is too short and there are too many great books out there to waste my time on something I'm just not enjoying.

    Anyway, Happy New Year and Happy Reading!

  2. I'm currently halfway through All The Bright Places. I really liked Every Breath. I own Gilt and Maid Of Secrets but haven't read and I've heard really good things about The Storyspinner.
