    Hi, I'm Suzanne. Proofreader by day, book blogger by night, devourer of books 24/7. My reading tastes: Basically you name it, I probably like it. I read a lot of contemporary and historical, both adult and YA, and I've also been enjoying more and more fantasy lately. Hobbies include: buying and hoarding of books, rambling about books to anyone who will listen, and trying to recommend books to my family and friends whether they are readers or not - because seriously, how can you not love to read books?

The Chronicles of Narnia, The Night Circus, and To Kill a Mockingbird are old favorites that I want to revisit, and I need to re-read The Wrath and the Dawn because it has been too long and I need a refresher so that I can finish that series this year.

I have a planner but I’ve only filled out one page so far (oops!), so I’m just sharing my planner supplies and this cute little journal my hubby got me for Christmas. I LOVE the quote on it so much: “Women Belong in All Places Where Decisions Are Being Made.” - Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

I’m terrible about reading series and have several that I need to finish like Neal Shusterman’s Arc of a Scythe and Jay Kristoff’s The Nevernight Chronicles. Once I’m done with those though, I really want to start Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone and City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty.

    Today’s #allthebooksjan21 prompt is Non-Bookish Today’s #allthebooksjan21 prompt is Non-Bookish Goals. I honestly don’t tend to set many goals for myself that aren’t related to books and reading, so this prompt stumped me a bit. 
.
I guess my two main ones would be: 1) Trying to exercise/walk more everyday to offset my desk job, and 2) Making time to cook, and especially, bake more often. Baking these cookies a few days ago reminded me how much I used to love to bake and made me sad that my busy schedule has forced me to cut back on it. Hoping to fix that this year. 
.
Do you have any non-bookish goals you’re trying to achieve this year?

I’m going with Harry Potter just because I love the series, both book and film, and all of the fellow HP fans I’ve met are really nice. I don’t even know what house I belong in though. I’ve taken so many quizzes and half the time I’m Gryffindor, half the time I’m Hufflepuff. Gryffinpuff? Is that a thing? 😅

    What are your reading goals for 2021? I’ve decid What are your reading goals for 2021? I’ve decided I’m not taking part in any specific challenges aside from the Goodreads one, but I still do have some goals I’m aiming for this year. 
.
1)  My GR goal is to read at least 150 books this year. 
.
2) As much as I love reading ARCs, I really want to focus on reading more of the books I already own. I was pretty successful with this last year, reading 50 of my own, so this year I’m aiming for 60. 
.
3) Finish series I’ve started and neglected to continue (so I can start new ones, of course, lol). 
.
4) Read 12 nonfiction books. 
.
5) Re-read 12 books. 
.

Most of these goals are intertwined since I own the series books and the nonfiction books I’m looking to read.
