What a year can bring

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!
