Besides, I believe in moderation in all things, even those things that are good for you!<br /><br />Rebecca--I'm so behind on reviews, it's scary! Just posted one, though--finally!<br /><br />mattviews--that sounds like a plan. Why make reading, one of the great pleasures, into a chore by attaching all sorts of plans to it? I'm liking your resolution!Gentle Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102364083044797155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-26126186219512750312010-01-11T11:35:54.076-08:002010-01-11T11:35:54.076-08:00My resolution is to let my whims take over my read...My resolution is to let my whims take over my reading. I'll read whatever that interests me at the moment, and not to be limited by challenges and deadlines. I'll be reading stuffs that are suitable for challenges but not joining them. I also have a stack of movies and BBC episodes that are based on novels. I would like to read the book and watch the adaptation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-82002142676690374882010-01-10T12:56:05.084-08:002010-01-10T12:56:05.084-08:00I need to review books right after reading them, t...I need to review books right after reading them, too. For the same reason! I will finish one late at night and think well I will write it later instead of staying up and getting woken up doing it. Still have not written a single review yet this year.

But I think unless you have a will of iron or a deadline it's very hard to be consistent on one's own choice activities. I think maybe you have to permit some inconsistency as inevitable, and commit to write five days out of seven, or something similar. Life does get in the way of routines at times! But good luck with all your resolutions and may they bring you the order, pleasure, or result that you want. :)litlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952927245186474480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-54669286421344342672010-01-04T11:23:53.810-08:002010-01-04T11:23:53.810-08:00Dorothy--I'm hoping writing it down will help,...Dorothy--I'm hoping writing it down will help, but who knows?

I'm sure I will be crabby the first week. <br /><br />I use Goodreads and LT faithfully but I abandoned Shelfari.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-43138709283913433272010-01-03T12:23:13.451-08:002010-01-03T12:23:13.451-08:00Good luck with your goals for the year!

I like the one about writing every day -- that could lead to some interesting results!

If I see a need to change something, I'll work on it whenever it comes up - there's nothing sacred about January 1 for me.<br /><br />Good luck with your resolutions, though - happy reading, writing, and blogging, and hope to see more of you in 2010!Florindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789402061034734894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-6231732140589599722010-01-02T09:08:59.815-08:002010-01-02T09:08:59.815-08:00I wish you the best of luck with your goals this y...I wish you the best of luck with your goals this year!
