Today’s post is going to be all about my blogging and reading goals for 2018. I have a few ambitions and goal when it comes to both blogging and reading. I want to look back at this post at the end of the year to see where I got up to with each goal and comment on them. So, here we go with my 2018 blogging/reading goals!
Read 30 Books!
Last year I read a total of 27 books. My plan for last year was to read 30 books. So I have decided my goal for this year will be 30 books again. I have never read 30 books in one year and to finally get there will be a big accomplishment for me. To get this goal I plan on reading at least 2 books every month. It helps that I have go back into audiobooks again. Hopefully I read 30 books this year maybe even more than that.
Go to YALC!
I really hope I get the opportunity to go to YALC this year. After seeing a lot of my blogger friends attend last year I decided to make it my goal to go in 2018! It all depends on if I can get the time off work and have the money to afford tickets, accommodation and transport. I will be putting money aside every month to put towards YALC tickets. I really hope I get to experience YALC this year!
Meet more bloggers and go to more blogger events!
I met so many bloggers in 2017 and I hope to meet even more in 2018! In order to do this I plan on going to more blogger events, more book events and speaking to more people about blogging. I feel like I was quiet in terms of interacting with bloggers in 2017 and plan on interacting with blogger a lot more in 2018. I am going to plan on finding bloggers to join in on guest posts. If you are interested in writing a guest post or would like me to write a guest post for you please let me know (loisreadsbooks@yahoo.com).
Re-read up to book 4 in the Harry Potter series!
I have been trying to re-read the Harry Potter series for a few years now. I always seem to start a book and then put it down to never pick it up again. This year I plan on reading up to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I love the Harry Potter series and really want to delve into the world again. I just got the first three book in audiobook form for Christmas so I will certainly be listening to them!
Reach 1500 across my blog and Twitter!
I am currently at 1000 followers across both platforms. I am going to try my best this year to reach 1500 if not surpass that. I am going to try and schedule tweets, join in more on Twitter chats. Also, I plan on posting everyday in January and after that at least 4 times a week. I hope that I may even be able to do a few months this year with a blog post everyday.
There you have it here are my blogging and reading goals in 2018! I hope that all of these goals are reached. I will be doing a post towards the end of the year looking back on this post to see what happened in terms of these goals. What are your blogging and reading goals for this year? Comment below!

These are great goals! I went to YALC last year and I would love to go again in 2018 although I’ll probably be able to only do one day (I was lucky enough to do all 3 last year!). Good luck with your 2018 goals 🙂

Thank you. Is it good? I really want to do all three days but money is the issue! Thank you 🙂

Yes, I absolutely loved it! Yeah, it was pretty expensive, but I thought it was totally worth it to do it at least once 🙂 I don’t think I’ll be able to do all three days for quite a few years now, but I’m hoping to do at least Saturday or Sunday next year 🙂

I really loved all of these goals! I want to read 30 books in 2018 as well. I wish I lived closer to other bloggers to meet them. Happy new year!

I will try and read 30 books as well – but I am currently studying/working and have a baby due in June – so I don’t know how successful I will be!
