2020 Goals Update

Goodbyeeee 2020. Hello 2021. I have my hopes high for this year!

Here are my 2020 goals/challenges. Let's see if I accomplished some of them. I'll be sharing my goals for 2021 in a different post. :) Still figuring out which challenges I wanna do this year. 

Reading Challenges:

Audiobook Listen - Goal was 50......

I was able to listen to 63! Blew past this one. 

Goodreads - Goal was 140......

I barely hit 140. Huzzah!

THE BAD BOYS OF ROMANCE READING CHALLENGE - Goal was level 2 so between 10-15 books......

I was able to read 11. :) Not too shabby. 

2020 Romance Bingo Reading Challenge - Goal was to get as many bingos as possible (for sure more than 1)......

I nearly got all of them! Shy of a couple of bingos. But I am proud!

Life Challenge:

Been doing way better than I imagined with the whole COVID and remote life. Yess, both BF and I have been working remote. Luckily the house has enough space that we can escape each other. I haven't been perfect with working out. But I've been doing a fasting diet and Herbal Life protein shakes. So I haven't gained any weight. I've last a hair of weight but nothing to write home to mom about. 

As for my crafts and art and writing...I've done a little bit here and there. Not as much as I should or want to do. Just haven't had it in me. COVID Depression and all that jazz. 

Now....there is one goal that I did FINALLY reach. I've been wanting this since I was a wee little thing. It happened on the 16th of Dec. (those who have me on FB or Twitter or Instagram probably already know)....but BF is no longer a BF. He is now my fiance! He proposed FINALLY after 8 long years. LOLLL. I am so excited!!! We are thinking May 28th 2022. We shall see!

Don't mind my goofy face! LOLLL I think I'm funny. 

I think that is it for my goal check-up. I am proud of what I did accomplish this year. I could've done more but I am happy with what I did accomplish. 

My Year in Books - Goodreads Stats

 Sharing my Goodread's "Carole's Year in Books". Such a fun little thing Goodreads does for their users. ^_^. It's fun to see the stats and whatnot. LOVE IT!

Best of September

Happy October!!!! 

Here are our best of September

Best Book of the Month:

Blodeuedd's pick..........Ruth Galloway Series

"Best book has to go to the entire Ruth Galloway series,I binged 7 of the in September"

Carole's pick.......The Worst Dogs by Matthew De Lacey Davidson

"A really good mystery! I could not put it down. I highly recommend it."

Best Movie of the Month:

Blodeuedd's pick.......Enola Holmes (2020)

"I watched Enola Holmes and enjoyed it 🙂 I actually thought it was a tv series first, lol"

Carole has no pick for this month. 

Best TV show of the Month:

Blodeuedd's pick...........Modern Family 

   

"Tv series I binged was Modern Family. I have never followed the series, but I have always watched it. Which means like some older eps I have watched several times, but never entirely. And some eps have gone me by. I do wish netflix had the last season though. But then I am sure a re-run will be shown soon"

Carole's pick........The Great (season 1)

"I am really enjoying this show so far. It's so funny and sad and I love this cast. "



Best Cover of the Month:

Bloduedd's pick - The Ghost Fields by Elly Griffiths

"Best cover can go to a Elly Griffiths book too"

Carole's pick - Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells

"It seems simple...but it is so detailed and cool."

Best of March 2020

Happy April!

Best Movie of the Month:

Blodeuedd's pick...........Emma

"Didn't have anything amazing in March. This one made me laugh and I want to watch it again."

Best TV show of the Month:

Carole's pick............Archer (seasons 8-10)

"Finally and fully watched the last seasons. SOOOO good. Love this show."

Blodeuedd's pick...............I Am Not Okay with This (2020)

"On tv I watched I am not okay with this. It was strangely compelling"

Best Book of the Month:

Blodeuedd's Pick.................Love Hard by Nalini Singh

"Bet book was hard cos omg Dangerous Collaboration, Smoke Bitten! But if I have to choose one then I will go with Love Hard by Nalini Singh"
