As always, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
Today's topic is Top Ten Things on My Bookish/Blogging Bucket List. (Some of these are more like resolutions, rather than bucket list to-dos. Oh well.)
1. Get a Twitter account for my blog. This will happen soon, don't worry!
2. Read all the Harry Potter books in one grand marathon! ...planned for this summer...
3. Give more books as gifts. I don't know why I don't give more literary gifts - this goes against my inner being.
4. Actually MAKE a TBR list. As of right now, it is only a jumbled list in my head. Not good! I need to sit down and write out a complete list, to make choosing my next book easier!
5. Make a Recommendation list - a list of my absolute favorite books, with bullet points about why. Then, if someone needs a good recommendation, I can look over my list, and think about which book would be right for them.
6. Have my own library. Right now, I share bookshelves with the rest of my family. They are not very organized, and have lots of textbooks that aren't being used anymore. When I get my own house, I'm going to devote one room to huge oak bookshelves...
7. Meet an author! I have never met an author of a book that I have read. This is probably due to the fact that I read mostly classics and am only recently branching out into more contemporary areas of literature. But now that I am reading more books written in the last couple years, there is a higher possibility of my actually meeting the author.
8. Publish a book. aka, become an author myself... :-P
Well, I suppose I AM an author already - just an unpublished one. So become a professional author, would be a better way of putting it.
9. Go to the library and get ALL THE BOOKS that happen to catch my eye or my fancy. ALL OF THEM. And then READ THEM ALL one after the other.
And, last but not least...
10. Read all the books on my Classics Club list. Which will hopefully happen somewhere within the next four and a half years.
This is a great list! I have my TBR list in a spreadsheet and on librarything. It is really intimidating, but I like to be orgainzed
ReplyDeleteSee, that's what I would like to do - I just haven't gotten around to doing it. Organization and spreadsheets make me happy :-)
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
I think it's quite a few readers' dreams to become "professional" authors, and I do wish you will in achieving that! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd HOW do you survive without having your own library. *shakes head pityingly* Oh, my dear friend, I would hate to be in your shoes. ;)
I rely heavily on the Public Library, that's how :-) But I'm hoping this summer to do a rehaul of the bookshelves in our house and claim some space for myself. ;-P
DeleteJust an FYI when you make your TBR list, it might scare you. I have one and there are sooooooo many books on it lol :) I love going to the library and I always tend to check out a lot of books at the same time. Then I'm wondering why I struggle to read everything ASAP haha.. Great list :)

Haha - I'll make sure to brace myself when I make my TBR :-)
DeleteThanks for visiting!
I do #9 quite a lot, gosh, it's the death of me though. I always have WAY too many books out from the library and then I run out of time to read them all! Still. They look lonely on their little shelves. I must rescue them. My TTT!
ReplyDeleteI know - they must fulfill their purpose and be read by someone! :)
DeleteDear Sophia,
ReplyDeleteI can help you achieve # 7, just read my book, since you already know me. Of course, you may not want to know me after you've read it!
Sincerely, Howard
Oh! Duh! I didn't think of that! I definitely will read your book soon. I'm sure it's fantastic. It's on my summer book list!
DeleteI'm planning to reread all of the HP books this summer, too! I love that this was a Top Ten Tuesday - I hope you come by and link it up to the Original Bookish Bucket List, too!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'll definitely check that out! Thanks for stopping by!
