Hello, hello, hello! I’ve been in another hella reading slump, so what better time to look back on a pretty great year in lieu of posting reviews?
Goals
- Books
- Read 39 books ✔️ → see Goodreads Challenge
- Reach an 80% approval rating on NetGalley ❌→ I started the year at 48%, but only made it to 68%
- Blogging
- Post 2-3 times per week ✔️ → technically, I failed this with either a 66% (3x/week) or a 99% (2x/week) success rate, but I posted 103 times last year and it’s my blog so I’m rounding up
- Average 100 views per month ✔️ → I actually averaged 250 views per month!
- YouTube
- Post 3 videos per month ❌ → lol… just fail
- Reach 50 subscribers ❌ → I started the year at 15, but only made it to 38 before I stopped posting videos
