I agree with you on the quality content, it's better to have less posts that are really good. I have my blog for five years and post two times a week and it proved to by useful. This year I started my english blog, so I'm excited for that. <br />And by the way your blog seems amazing so you gain a new reader :)Simonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08945518195711017325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150415267441377306.post-39042519271288664252016-01-12T07:26:06.104+00:002016-01-12T07:26:06.104+00:00I think I'll be aiming for somewhere around 30...I think I'll be aiming for somewhere around 30 books as well! Although I'd like to try MORE ARCs this year, since I never used to request any. These secret projects sound great and I'm excited to find out what they are. I'd like to participate in more Twitter chats too, although EXACT SAME PROBLEM with wrong timezones! I'm keeping a list for my timezone specifically because all the conversions always make me miss the chats :S All the best with these fantastic goals!Alyssa Carlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995554896786109238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150415267441377306.post-55575528992080546992016-01-12T02:52:46.166+00:002016-01-12T02:52:46.166+00:00These are some really awesome goals, Amanda! Some ...These are some really awesome goals, Amanda! Some of them are actually kind of similar to my own. I'm hoping to double my site's pageviews this month and want to double my twitter following my the end of this year. I should probably post more often on the blog but right now I'm just working on getting things scheduled so I have something going up on a consistent basis. I love TWitter chats. They are awesome and I've been participating in them more myself. I've been trying to just be more active in the blogging community and with interacting with others on Twitter and I've really seen an increase in engagement so that's encouraging! Will we get updates on your goals throughout the year? That would be so cool.
