Favourite Posts!

My Favourite Posts!~ All of New Adult Week! I really enjoyed organising my first feature week and Lettie Loves Films! I liked focussing on something other than books!

What I achieved!

Social Networking- I did get better with Twitter and Goodreads but I want to keep improving!

Blog Design- Not much progress here- I made my own post headers and added some buttons but that was all. Although I did learn more about html in posts though!

Posts- My goal was to average 16 posts a month- I just missed out by averaging 15!

Books- Success! I read 124!

Continuity- I said I wanted still be blogging in 2014 and I am!

 

What I hope to achieve in 2014 (blog wise!)

• Social Media. I still feel I need to connect better with authors and bloggers using Twitter and possibly Goodreads.
• Diversity~ A consistent theme in my monthly goals is more post diversity!Reviews are important but I often notice on other blogs that people prefer to comment on discussions or features so I want to focus on post diversity to keep my blog relevant and interesting!
• Blog Design- Again I want to work on this! I'm hoping to change my background and blog header before the year is over!
• Posts. I'm sticking to a goal of average 16 posts a month as that work out at 4 a week which feels realistic.
• Books. I'm aiming higher then last year- 200!

Happy New Year!

What do you hope to achieve this year?

Much Love!

Lettie
