This past year of reading has been one full of achievements and
disappointments. I have found that I can't set limits on myself. Life can get
in the way cause many setbacks. Planning ahead is great, giving me goals to
reach towards, but I have learned to accept the moment of failure.
I haven't failed in my goal of reading
more, I've failed in achieving the goal of reading all the books I promised
myself I would. I have read numerous books throughout the year, many that I
just haven't had time to review, but plan on.
I also failed miserably on not buying
books. I have acquired over 25 new books this year alone. Either through my
kindle or actual books.
So what does this mean for the future? I
means I keep reading, I keep reviewing and stop challenging my goals. I wanted
to read more and I achieved that. I can't complain about anything more. Life
got in the way with unexpected twist and turns. Our lives are stories waiting
to be told, just as a great book would have, the unexpected is right around the
corner.
My future holds many things. I will keep
reviewing books, mainstream or indie it doesn't matter to me. I have no time
limit on finishing my library because I know it will forever grow.
Therefore I decided to change the name of
my blog. Road to Review or roadtobookreview.com for address
purposes.
This challenge has allowed me to dive deep
into my likes, loves and distaste for books. I've read books that don't seem to
spark a fire in me while others I wish never ended. But more than anything,
I've learned that books are my passion. I have spent years hidden behind a
keyboard writing. Whether is be in a blog, short story, novel or what not. I
love to write and I honestly can't wait to find my own book on the shelves of
the local book store someday.
I have started the process of finally
getting my writings published and I can't wait! From editing, talking to
publishers and agents; my mind swims with joy everyday on this crazy insane
process.
For now I am working on setting up my own
website where my readers can join me in the many different adventures I
experience. It's a hub for all my writings. In a sense it's my portfolio. Once
the website is complete I will have a launch! I am excited about this adventure
and finally heading on the right path with my career.
I don't know what will happen next, but
all I can say is keep reading. You never know where your next adventure will
lead you!
