2016 Bookish Goals Update

It’s that time of the year! The time when everyone wonders in amazement and confusion: “It’s July already? Where does time go!?”

Yep, 2016 is halfway done and I figured it would be a good idea to check-in, look back at the bookish goals I set for myself six months ago, and update y’all on how I’m doing with those!

(Also, I am back for real for real this time. More on that later…)

Let the public shaming begin!

Character Spotlight: Deadpool

Another unusual post brought to you by the fact that I've been binge-watching Making A Murderer and trying to Sherlock Holmes the Avery case, and therefore have gotten little to no reading done for the past couple of weeks...

BUT ALSO.

There are only two more sleeps until the Merc With a Mouth has his big-screen debut* and I could not be more excited!!! I adore Deadpool, so of course, this calls for a special feature.

Let me talk to you about the greatest character Marvel has ever created!**

2016 Bookish Goals

We’re one week into 2016 (already!) and in that time, I set up my bookish resolutions for this year… and also broke them. So now I’ve decided to publish them here so y’all can hold me accountable when this year ends and I inevitably fail to do any of the things I’m about to list.

Public shaming sometimes works!

I’m also calling them goals now instead of resolutions because it sounds more like something to strive for and achieve and less like a chore that has to be done, and sometimes you gotta Jedi mind trick your own brain for things to work out! Or at least that’s what I’m tricking myself to believe...

Top 5 Reads of 2015

2015 was the year of getting back into reading! Unknowingly, it was the perfect year to start reading again because I found myself with a lot of free time and rounded up the year with over 40 books!

I had never read so many books!!!

It was such a fun experience, though! I revisited old favorites and discovered new authors, read some stories that were way overdue, picked up others that I never would have considered to read before, tried some classics and through it all, I had an amazing time!

Here's a small list of my most favorite reads of this year, in no particular order:
