IWSG - January 2018

I finished the edit of Against the Magic, and it's with my editor now. Phew. I'm feeling pretty good right now, and I have lots of other projects to work on. The year 2018 should produce a bumper crop of books for me. 

*crosses fingers*

I'm a goal-oriented person. One goal I had for 2017 was through Goodreads and its Reading Challenge. I set a goal of reading 50 books, and I read 127. Yay for audiobooks! 

Here are my titles.

I haven't decided what number of books to read should be my 2018, but I will be publishing at leave FIVE books in 2018. Three of them before I retire in April. Yikes!

What are your hopes/dreams/goals for the New Year?

  2. Read a lot of books too, but probably not that many lol. Good job! I do think the key to writing well is reading all the books. FIVE books to be published. Holy smokes. Amazing! I hope to get in two this year. We shall see:)

  3. Way to go, Donna!!! I read quite a few books, too, but I don't always remember to update my goodreads page. Reading and writing definitely go together.
    Happy writing and reading in 2018!

  7. I managed to read 87 books this year. But I'm so lazy, I don't even update Goodreads. I think I have two books on my GR page. Congrats on the upcoming books! I am inspired by the sheer volume of words you have put on paper.

  8. I hope you achieve all of your goals. Can't wait to see how many books you publish in 2018, and to read a few of them! I'm into romance, so if you have blog tours for them, consider me. I hope to review plenty of romance on my blog this year.

  10. Wow, that's a lot of books to be reading AND publishing! I usually don't read as nearly as many books as I'd like, but I'm very determined to read 100 books this year.

  14. That sounds like a SUPER busy year. =) Some years I do better with reading, but since my youngest two were born, it's been more of a challenge. As expected. I haven't set my goal for this year either, but I'm thinking about going low. It always feels awesome way you exceed your expectations.

  16. Congratulations on having your book with the publisher. I like the title! I'm impressed that you read 127 books last year. I don't really know how many I read, but I'm an avid reader, and it's heartening to see how many readers there are out there (since I'm a writer, too.) Have a great week ahead.

  17. Nicely done! I'd say I'm averaging between 150-200 books a year, although it does tend to wear my eyes down, but who cares! It's fun! :)
