How is it November already?! The past few weeks have completely flown by, and I can't believe it's already almost Thanksgiving and the end of the school semester, at least for me. I only have four full weeks left, and it it still feels like I just started a couple of days ago. But, my numbers/goals posts have become one of my favorites to write, so I am excited about that! Let's get to it!
3 Workouts Completed
This is really sad. My goal was to workout at least two
times a week, and I only worked out three times the whole month?! I think. It might
only be two. I’ve always been terrible about being consistent with my exercise
habits, but I was hoping it would help to make it a goal on my blog. Apparently
not however, as I have fallen really
short.
6 Books Read
This is also pretty sad. Only six books in four weeks? I used
to be able to read at least three books a week. But, considering how difficult
it has been for me to fit in these six books, I am a little proud of myself for
managing to finish them. Hopefully this month I will be able to read more!
Anyway, I read six really great novels: The Mistress of Tall Acre, A Most Peculiar Circumstance, A Talent for Trouble, A Match of Wits, Wild Montana Skies, and A Royal Christmas Wedding. I can’t even
pick a favorite because they were all so wonderful!
4 Books Purchased
Yay! A Goal I actually completed!! Fortunately for me, this
one was pretty easy, and I was able to read half of the books I purchased! I
also preordered a book that comes out this month, but I figured I would credit
it towards this coming month rather than this past month since I don’t have it
yet on my bookshelf. So, I bought Finding
Margo, The Lady and the Lionheart,
Wild Montana Skies, and A Royal Christmas Wedding.
15 Blog Posts Published
While this doesn’t fulfill my goal for the month, I’m not
really too worried about it, because I did a whole lot better than I did last October!
Last October I suppose I was really busy with midterms and stuff, because I only
published eight posts! Since this month I wrote almost double that amount, I’m
pretty satisfied with myself. And, as always, I think the Top Ten Tuesday posts
have been some of my favorites, but I am really loving co-hosting this linkup!
And now on to my goals for this month!
Read 7 Books
Although this is less than I wish I would have time to read
this month, with it still being a school month, I think this is actually a
decent number of books for me to attempt to read. And, the books I have on my
schedule are fortunately a few really, really good ones—or at least I think
they will be—so I am happy about that. I think seven wonderful novels is a lot
better than 20 just-decent ones, and I have a feeling that these 7 books will definitely
be more than just decent.
Purchase 2 Books
I hate that this is such a small number, but I don’t think
that I will have extra money for books this month since I have to start
deciding on Christmas presents, so two books will have to do for now. Fortunately
there are two very good books I’m planning on getting, so I do have that to
look forward to!
Workout 1 Time a Week
While this sounds like a pretty sorry goal, considering last
month, it would be a win if I just completed this. So, even though I’m hoping
to exercise more times than this, I figured I would shoot for the lower end on
my goal so that I would actually feel pretty good if I managed to complete it.
We’ll see! One thing I think will help is that I have Thanksgiving break in a
few weeks, so maybe I’ll actually work out some then.
Publish 16 Blog Posts
This is less posts than I would like to post, but I accidentally
forgot what week it was, so I missed out on the Currently post for the month,
and one of the books I was going to read isn’t at my library, so that’s why my
post list has been slimmed down a little bit. Hopefully I will be able to publish
all of these posts though!
Well, those are my numbers and goals! Now on to the linkup!
