The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by the lovely Kimba, where you can share any news that has to do with your blog, re-cap the week or month, and/or show off what you received in your mailbox. All you have to do is link up your post on Sunday’s and hop around to the various other blogs participating and see what news they have to share. I've decided that I’ll be doing this once a month, just to keep you guys aware of all the things happening here.

Anyone can participate as long as you can...

For the Month of January 2015

In the month of January, I feel like I've gotten a bit more organized on the blog, did some cleaning up, and was able to set a pretty good pace for myself where my reading goals are concerned. During the first week, I averaged reading about 2 and a half books, managing to get two reviews written and posted, as well as making sure I had at least 4+ posts scheduled in advance at all times. I decided that I was going to start my new year off with getting things ready, a little more organized, and set-up to where it would be easy for me to meet the goals that I've set for myself. I posted them here, if you'd like to take a look at them. If you have any tips on helping to keep myself organized, as far as keeping track of my TBR and review piles or any other tips in general that might help out, link me to them or let me know in the comments below. I always welcome any advice from a fellow blogger. 

And the big wow for me, is that I actually managed to read 16 books this month. Well, actually, if you break it down I read a total of 9 actual books and 6 novellas. This ended up putting me 9 books ahead of schedule on my Goodreads Challenge for this year. So I'm pretty much all...

You can also find me on the new social media platform, Tsu as @suzinbooks. If you're on there too, just friend me and send me a request and I'll be happy to add you to my list!
