[Book Blogger Hop] Blogging Goals for 2020

January 5, 2020      Erica Robyn      22 Comments

Book Blogger Hop Meme

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a “hop”. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.

For this week’s Book Blogger Hop, Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer asks:

Do you have any New Year’s Blogging Resolutions?

BBH My Answer

Rather than setting resolutions, I set goals 🙂

My goals for my blog in 2020 are:

  • To stay organized with my post schedule using a physical calendar.
  • To stop feeling bad about turning down honest reviews if they’re outside of my process.
  • To take part in at least one blogging event and one in-person bookish event again this year.
  • To continue adding to my testimonial page.
  • To get one more author interview.

Thanks for reading!
I love learning what goals others have set. Feel free to add your resolutions below!

    They’re good goals. I use a physical calendar, too. There’s something about paper and pen…

      <3 For sure!! I need to have it in front of me, rather than just on another screen.

    These are good goals! I want to read more books from around the world and more nonfiction this year. I would also like to take a break from requesting books on Netgalley — I have enough to read already!

    Awesome goals! I tend to take on too many books for review and inevitably get overwhelmed. So I’m gonna try to slowdown on that this year and just have more fun. 🙂

      It’s so tricky! I always want to say “yes” and just give the books a try, even if it’s outside of my favorite genres… but it’s so time consuming!

    I use a calendar to plan out my blog posts – it’s a little old-school, but I like having everything written out!

      Definitely!! I prefer having it written out next to me rather than on another section of computer or phone screen!

    As someone who uses a planner religiously, I fully support using a physical calendar. It’s just so much easier to look at.

    These are great goals! I have a reading journal that I am going to try to use this year. I think that writing things down might be a big help. My biggest goal is to make a dent in my review pile.

    These sound like some very solid goals to me and I like the sound of joining in with one blogging event and a in person bookish event too. And yeah, scheduling is so important! We can do this 😀

    Good luck with your goals! I know this was posted in January, but I’m commenting in April. So probably not going to make the in person event unless you did so before everything started happening. Boo. Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!

Max is one of the most hilarious people that I fol Max is one of the most hilarious people that I follow on Twitter! I originally learned who he was after seeing him participate in the KillerCon 2020 Virtual Event. I went to follow him and his publishing house, Perpetual Motion Machine (that he runs with Lori Michelle), immediately after his reading.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!

Diaries of the Damned by Ivan Radev is a collectio Diaries of the Damned by Ivan Radev is a collection of tales that span numerous dark fears. But as always, even in the darkness, there’s a bit of light.

In the foreword, the author warns that this is a book of fears, and boy does he play on fears wonderfully! Each tale is presented to readers in the first person to really get readers in the characters shoes. Please use caution here when you dive in. The author does not shy away from the darkness.

Phew, this read will take readers on quite the journey! It was the perfect read for a dark and rainy spring weekend.
