Hello there everybody, my name is Manda and
today i'm talking about my 2017 reading
and channel goals. so i did just put up
So i did just put up a video talking about my 2016 reading stats.
I will link that up here if you would like
to go and check that out, but now i'm
gonna be talking about my 2017 goals for
reading and for my channel.
So firstly i will talk about the channel goals that I
have for my channel.
So as with last year as far as uploading goes on my channel I
would like to be a lot more consistent
with my uploading, I do apologize for the
really inconsistent uploading i had in
2016.
Hopefully this year I can keep things on track
and upload at least once every
week. I'm going to try and stick with
uploading videos every Wednesday as well,
but if you do have a day that you would
prefer please feel free to let me know
in the comments down below and i will
try and do what suits you guys as well
as me. So this year the content on my
channel is likely to change quite
significantly. Due to some
unforeseen circumstances i am very
unlikely going to be buying many books
this year. This not to say that I wont buy
any but i will be significantly cutting
down the spending that i have on my
books.
This may change later in the year but as
for the foreseeable future i will be
buying significantly less books. So this
does mean there will be less book hauls
on my channel. As you may know if you've
been following me for a while i do
generally have a book haul at the end of
every month, but this is probably going
to change, i'm not certain how this will
work right now so I'm definitely going
to have to play it by ear and see how I
go but it may turn out that I'll do
videos for every season so a summer book
haul and so fourth, you get the idea. N ot
really certain though, I will probably
start utilizing the library more so
maybe you'll be seeing library book
hauls here and there.
I'm not really certain how it's gonna go yet
but that is going to be the first big
change to my channel and because i'm
not going to have the monthly videos
that I do on black hauls, i'm definitely
going to have to try and integrate some
different videos that i do. So this is
where I want you guys to give me a hand.
At the moment i'm thinking of starting
doing videos more related to movies and
TV shows and maybe gaming and so forth
but if there's something that you guys would
love to see, or particularly something you
would love to see every month.
Please let me know in the comments
down below because i'm actually quite
stuck of what i should replace the haul
videos with. I'm just really not sure
what to do and this is why I've been
struggling with making videos of the
end of 2016, cause i've just been struggling so much
with what content i should be uploading
and what you guys want to see and what I
want to do. So I'd definitely love to get
some ideas from you guys if there's
anything at all that you would like to
see me do please let me know in the
comments down below. I would love to have
any suggestions that you have. So moving
on i would also like to do more reviews
on my channel. I definitely increase the
amount of reviews that I did in 2016. But
i would like to keep increasing that and try and
review almost every book that i read.
I have a huge stack of books that I've
been sent from publishers that I need to
review, so hopefully i can and try to get
on top of those before uni really
starts and kick me in the butt. So I
think that's all I have for now for my
channel goals again I'm absolutely open
to your guys suggestions, because i would
love to make things that you guys want
to see as well. So please let me know in
the comments down below if you have any
suggestions on videos that you would
like to see or anything at all please
let me know in the comments down below
because i would love to hear your
thoughts. On to my reading goals for 2017
For 2017 i have set my Goodreads goal
low, I have said it to 10. I was going to
set it to one but there's just this part
of me that felt really weird about
having only one book on my goal, so I've
set it to 10 and anything I read beyond
that is just a plus. I really i generally
don't feel pressured by my goals but I
do notice at the end of the year when I
haven't hit the goal or if i don't think
I'm gonna hit it I really freak out and
change the goals so this year I'm going
to start low and anything I go beyond
that is a plus. So in terms of the books
that i would like me reading i would
like to read a little bit more
nonfiction than I have in the past.
Last year i only read one nonfiction
book and that was right at the end of
the year. So i would definitely like to read a
few more, i picked up quite a few really
interesting non-fiction books at the end
of last year. So hopefully i can read a
bit more of those. But otherwise I just
want to read a nice mix of things.
Same as my 2016 goal i
think when i read the same type of books
over and over again is when I put myself
into a slump and I just don't want to
read the same things, so I really need to
keep a good mix of genres and types of
books that I'm reading to keep myself
interested. When it comes to keeping
statistics and information about the
books i'm going to be using spreadsheets
this year. I have two that I am, decided
that I'm going to be using a huge nerd
when it comes to that. I just love
knowing the stats and I just find it
really interesting so I'm definitely
keeping stats. So neither of these spreadsheets
i came up with myself. The first
spreadsheet i found on What Kelly Reads,
i will leave the link to that video down
below, this spreadsheet is she calls the
magic book selecting spreadsheet. So in
this spreadsheet it list every single book
that i own and it lists them by
category. The things that I've added to
the spreadsheet is the series and the
series number for the books but
essentially I had never changed it too
much. And what this spreadsheet does and
in Kelly's video does show this is that
it selects books for you, you can select
by genre and it will select a book at
random or you can leave the genre blank
and it will select a book at random from
any of your unread books, so you do
list the book as unread on the
spreadsheet. I love this and i'm probably
going to be using this as a TBR
selection type thing, so you will see
those videos coming in the future. I
absolutely love this, i think this is a
great idea you should definitely go and
check out Kelly's video about the spreadsheet.
I was just intrigued and fascinated and in
love when i first seen it.
So make sure you go and check her video
out. And the next spreadsheet i'll b e using is
the 2017 readings stats spreadsheet. This
spreadsheet is done by bBock from Let's
Read ,again i will leave the link to
his video below. I am just in awe of
this spreadsheet. I have been playing
with it ever since
Brock released it and oh my god it is
pure genius.
This spreadsheet tracks everything that
you've been reading, it tracks things
that you've been buying, it tracks a
whole bunch of different stats and
it tracks series and all this sort of
stuff, so at the end of the year I'm
gonna have some amazing stats that I can
give you guys. I'm just obsessed with
this spreadsheet so if you are
definitely interested and a stat nerd like
I am make sure you go and check out
Brock's spreadsheet, it's just the best.
It's just the best thing I've ever seen,
I'm so obsessed with it. So i will be
using that throughout the year to keep a
track of things and how I'm going. So
like i said i'm gonna have some great
stats to tell you at the end of 2017.
I'm so excited, my little inner
nerd girl is screaming right now with
glee.
S o that was it for my goals for my
reading and my channel, like I said I
just want to keep things nice and simple
this year and keep the pressure off.
I'm very rarely do feel pressure from my
goals but i do notice at the end of the year I
really feel like I haven't done things
right if I haven't stuck to my goals.
So this year I'm keeping it simple and
we're going to keep all the pressure off
the shoulders. So like i said if you
do have any suggestions of things that
you would like to see on this channel
please let me know in comments down
below.
I am definitely interested in your
suggestions. I'm thinking of doing some
things like watch alongs or read
alongs things like that but I will think
about that and get back to you on what I
would like to do with those, again if you
have suggestions on that to let me know
down below. I'm excited for the year to come and
hopefully i can stick with my goals and
upload a video every week for you guys.
I'm excited so that was it thank you so
much for watching please rate, comment
and subscribe if you like my videos and i'll
talk to you all again in my next one. Goodbye!
