Tag, You're It! New Years Resolutions Tag

Stolen from The Book Nut

1. An author you'd like to read (That you've never read before)

Ash:
Oh man I have a ton... The first to come to mind is Ellen Hopkins. I see her books everywhere and I keep wanting to read them!

Jenn:
Ash has been bugging me about Stephanie Kate Strohm. I am not the biggest fan of contemporaries but her books sound good enough that I have added them to my TBR for years and have never read them. So I need to read her this year. 

2. A book you'd like to read

Ash:
Oh! I have sooo many. The new releases I'm most looking forward to are...

The Girl in the White VanHeavy Vinyl: Y2K-O!Snotgirl, Vol. 3: Is This Real Life? (Snotgirl, #3)Crowded, Vol. 2

Jenn:
What kind of question is this. I would like to read them all. All the books. Okay so this year the most anticipated that I must read will be.... 


The DeepThe Seven Endless ForestsThe Hand on the Wall (Truly Devious, #3)The Nemesis (Diabolic, #3)Bitter Falls (Stillhouse Lake #4)A Heart So Fierce and Broken (Cursebreakers, #2)



3. A classic you'd like to read

Ash:
It's a re-read, but I'd love to read it again.

Little Women

Jenn:
I have never read this book and would like to before I see the movie.

Ash:
I have a ton! I'll just put standalones here. A lot of my old school reads.

SpeakThe Road of the DeadCaught in the ActThe Future of UsScrambled Eggs at Midnight

Jenn:
Okay so many books I need to read the first again because the second or third is coming out or just came out and I don't remember the prior book or didn't keep up with the series. (run on sentence!) 


The Pioneer (The Pioneer, #1)The Final Six (The Final Six, #1)Honor Among Thieves (The Honors, #1)Heart of Iron (Heart of Iron, #1)


5. A book you've had for ages and want to read

Ash:
I have so many of those too! I have stacks of books I bought or was gifted that I just haven't read yet. Here's just a few.

The Big Empty (The Big Empty, #1)Breathe: A Ghost StoryLittle Grrl Lost (Newford, #20)


Jenn:
Why ask me these question... Shame and guilt and panic... all the feels that come with these questions!

Texas Gothic (Goodnight Family, #1)The Liar SocietyWherever Nina Lies

6. A big book you'd like to read

Ash:
Maybe this will be my year!

Jenn:
I don't have many on my list that isn't part of a series. so This one I just added and it's pretty big.

7. An author you've previously read and would like to read more of

Ash:
Cecil Castellucci, April Henry, Stephen King just to name a few.

Jenn:
Marissa Meyer, Lisa Jewell, Laura Lippman, Ruth Ware, Rae Carson, Jennifer E Smith, Rachel Cain

8. A book you got for Christmas and would like to read

Ash:
I've read most of the books I got for Christmas! Go me! I just have one more that I'm currently working on.

Shock Point

Jenn:
Huh, I didn't get any books for Christmas. Well that's different. 

9. A series you want to read from start to finish

Ash:
Sooo many. Most I want to start over and finish. I guess the biggest one at this point for me is either the Morganville Vampire series or the Cherub series. 

Jenn:
So many! Maybe I will focus on these this year. 
Parasol Protectorate by Gail Carriger
Soul Screamers by Rachel Vincent
Unremembered by Jessica Brody

10. A series you want to finish that you've already started

Ash:
This is the biggest one for me. The last book just came out so I NEED to finish it.

The Walking Dead, Book One (The Walking Dead #1-12)

Jenn:
Currently I am working on Sookie Stackhouse and The Others

11. Do you set reading goals? If so how many books do you want to read in 2020?

Ash:
I have to have goals, if not I just feel lost. I want to read no less than 200 books in 2020. I feel I can surpass that, but just in case I set it low. 

Jenn:
I do set goals every year. I would like to read 200 books this year. 

12. Any other reading goals?


Ash:
I want to read at least one series from start to finish every month in 2020. That and I want to make a big dent in books I already own, so I can weed through them. I have so many I haven't read.


Jenn:
I would love to finish at least 6 series this year. In truth I would love to finish more than that but I am not good at finishing series. I am so ADD.

  3. Such a fun tag. I'm really hoping to re-read Little Women this year too. I read a couple of retellings that have me craving the original.

  4. I’m looking forward to The Deep too. It sounds awesome. I spent several months last year struggling through Little Women. I hope you like it more than I did.

  5. I have too many books and authors and series I want to read this year that I couldn't narrow each question down enough to answer it!
