BTT: New Year's Resolutions

fourzoasI've skipped at least one of these--I was a bit busy last Thursday--but am happy to let the first post of the new year go to Booking Through Thursday!
This week's question:
My bookish resolutions:
The one thing I'm looking forward to reading this year? The copy of THe Adventures of Luther Arkwright that I just ordered from Amazon. I'm also looking forward (in a different way) to the release of Writing Your Journal Article in Twelve Weeks, which will either be tremendously helpful or lulz-worthy. I'm hoping for the former. The various dissertation books I read kept me going and kept my spirits up, so I'm holding out great hope for this book.
These are, of course, reads that come to mind in the moment. There are lots of books I want to read that are more Resolution-list worthy, but I hate the constraints placed on me by grand expectations. I like to just kinda flit and float through the shelves, succumbing to my minds whims. This is why I need to read that second book...
What about you?
This week's question:
Happy New Year, everyone!
So … any Reading Resolutions? Say, specific books you plan to read? A plan to read more ____? Anything at all?
Name me at least ONE thing you’re looking forward to reading this year!
My bookish resolutions:
- To read what I want to read as often as I can
- To read what I have to read in as timely a fashion as I can
- To be wise enough to know the difference
