Hello 2015

It's a new year! I've always loved the first day of things, like the first day of school (because there's no homework yet and there are pretty school supplies to organize) and... the first day of the year. So I devote this whole entire post to talking all about my plans for 2015. WAHOO.

It wouldn't be a new year if I didn't make a list of resolutions so I decided to make a regular one and use a bookish one I found on Pinterest. :)

1. Take a picture every day for a year. 
2. Try something (big or small) that I've never tried before. 
3. Finish a writing project. 
4. Exercise more (HAHA. But I thought I'd try.)
5. Grow closer to God. 
6. Get straight A's. 
7. Learn how to do more types of art.

1. A book with more than 500 pages. 
2. A classic romance. 
3. A book that became a movie. 
4. A book published this year. 
5. A book with a number in its title.

22. A book that scares you. 
23. A book more than 100 years old. 
24. A book based entirely on its cover.

48. A banned book. 
49. A book based on or turned into a TV show. 
50. A book you started but never finished. 

I'm so excited about my resolutions! Especially the book challenge one. I tend to get stuck reading in a particular genre, so it'll be good for me to expand my reading experience. :) 

I will have an update here on my blog whenever I finish one of the books in the 50-book Pinterest challenge, sometimes I might just talk about it in a short post, or talk about how I found it, or what it taught me, or it might be just a regular book review where I mark it off the list at the beginning of the post (or something awesome like that). Anyways, I will be updating!

And of course it wouldn't be a new year without the Goodreads Challenge. *happy dance*

It's purple, guys.

Last year, I had the goal of reading 150 books which I did not accomplish (boo) so I thought I'd give myself a reasonable goal that I'll probably meet without a problem. Hopefully, I can get all this stuff done. Lists make me happy. :D

What are your New Year's Resolutions? If resolutions aren't your thing, are there other goals you want to accomplish as you go?
