Happy Friday everyone. Since this is the last Friday of the year, Parajunkee is suggesting we list our Bookish Resolutions. This is a post that was cruising around earlier this week and was hosted by Melissa from My World…in words and pages. If you are interested in hooking up to her linky – click on the link.
Here are my resolutions for 2011:
1. Clean up my office and keep it tidy. Sadly, I’ve already spent a few hours on this mess! I have to find some way of organizing the books and keep my office from being the dumping zone of the house.
2. Organize my books. I’ve entered a whole bunch of challenges to help me work my way through my TBR piles and now I need to gather all the books to one area – rather than have books all over the place 🙂
3. Organize my time better. I just keep thinking that if my office is more user friendly and I can find things easier I will be better organized. I think I need to make a schedule for the week. We’ll work on that.
4. Read more books and write more reviews. I really don’t know how many books I read last year. I’m planning on getting a Nook (or maybe a Kindle) in the new year – mostly because there were no screaming sales this week to encourage me to move sooner – and that will help me with my reading. Right now, I read ebooks on my laptop and that is just too hard on my eyes!
What are your resolutions for 2011??

I agree reading books on the computer is hard. I probably will end up getting a kindle sometime this year. Just because that’s what I’ve wanted for quite awhile now.
Have a good weekend!
Barb
HI Ashley!
I feel like I’m going blind trying to read on the computer! Hope you have a great new year and enjoy your Kindle!
