Tried and True: Read books from authors I love that I haven't read yet (so many challenges have kept me from reading books I really want to read!)
Goodread's Chosen Few: read Good..."

We can only have a max of 5. :(

Really beautiful resolutions though. I kind of hope I'm on the same team as you for your resolutions alone. :)

Thanks!! Those are my goals this year! :) hopefully that will keep me reading good ones this next year! I spent way too much time this year on 2 star books :/ or not reading books I really wanted to!

Haha my fifth one has like 3 choices in it. I think it’s fine with more resolutions since we have to put people in a team based on resolutions.

Can you add how many we can have to the top please Courtney I think people forget how many we are allowed once they get going. ^-^

you can just choose to not use all of mine...........or which ones we use (top 5)

honestly, I'll just delete it.

True. We can always narrow them down once people are in teams since there might be overlap as well. ^-^

Post as many as you want and then if we need to narrow them down more once teams are made we can. So feel free to post yours back up, Trisha. They were good ones!
