2018 Goals: Write My Reviews

One of my goals this year is to improve my review-to-books read ratios. Writing reviews is a  big part of the reason that I got started in book blogging. Too many times I’ve read a book, only to forget that I’ve read it until I pick it up again and get a good way through it. I thought that writing reviews would help me remember. And it has—at least to some extent. I usually remember that I’ve read the book, even if I’ve forgotten what it is about or how it ends!

Last year I reviewed just over 70% of the books I read. This year I am hoping to get that percentage closer to 90%. (Actually I’d like to get the ratio to 100%, but let’s not get crazy here!)

I plan to keep a list here of the books I read, in chronological order, with a checkmark in front of those that have been reviewed. The titles will be clickable links to my reviews once I’ve written and posted my review.

Here is my progress:

✔︎    The Nest by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney
