No. 4 was the best thing that I could have done last year. It really helps you remember the particular parts of a book and what you wanted to say about it.

Love the others as well! ^_^

Ciska said...

That are some great goals. I recognize the buying duplicate ones. Now when in doubt I do not buy them anymore until I verified at home :)

Good luck with your goals.
Thanks for dropping by on my blog.

I've recently started taking notes again (or writing a review writing after) and it makes a big difference.
Reviews in a timely manner...sigh...this will forever be a goal I strive for with only partial success I fear ;P
Good luck on all your goals!

Thanks for stopping by my top ten! Great goals! I definitely have to get on reading my galleys/arcs in a timely matter. I totally slacked off on that last year! Good luck with your goals! :)

It will take a lot of diligence to do #9! I commend you for it haha. (: #8 is one I have to do, too. Best of luck with all of your resolutions. (:

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Jacque said...

You must have A LOT of books if you actually buy duplicates. Good luck with your challenges/goals for 2013!!

Jacque said...

Good luck with all of your challenges and goals for 2013!! If you read any ebooks, I find it helpful to highlight quotes or sections I want to use in a review. It will generate a list with all of the highlighted material.

Good luck with all your goals! No.10 is such a good idea!

Ooo taking notes on books for reviews is something that I've always meant to do, but never do. I think it's because I read mostly while commuting, and can't be bothered to juggle my bags and a book AND a notebook! It's a bit of a pipe dream, I guess.

Great resolutions!

Great goals I need to do some of these things myself. :) Good luck in accomplishing them & thanks for stopping by my TTT.

@Ciska - That's what I normally do, but sometimes I pick it up and don't even think I've got it LOL but with others that I'm unsure, I just wait til I get home to check.

@Sara - That's the plan...don't commend me yet I haven't done it yet LOL it's gonna be very difficult but I really must put some sort of discipline in my book buying.

@Esty & @Jacque - I've only really got one very large bookshelf but the majority of those are unread books. Most of my duplicates are from series' as I'd see it's a book from that series and just grab it to complete my series only to realise that I've already got that book :(

@Jacque - Thanks for the tip, it's a very helpful one.

Good Luck Everyone in all your Bookish Resolutions of 2013.

Good luck on all of your goals too! Many of yours are similar to mine...maybe great minds think alike? ;)

Angela said...

Best wishes on meeting your goals this year. I hope I can complete my challenges this year, too.

Milda Harris said...

I should add the read 2-3 TBR before buying a new book to my goals! It would save me money! Good luck on your goals!

Alisa Selene said...

Those are great goals!

Anya @ On Starships and Dragonwings said...

I hear ya on a lot of these! Wow, I can't imagine needing to catalogue my books though, I still have few enough that I can just remember them all and know what I own, you must have a very impressive collection :D

Rory said...

I need to make a rule similar to your read 2-3 books from the TBR pile before purchasing more. And I've got to read my galleys on time! Good luck on your goals!

Dalene @ A Date with a Book said...

I also had a similar set up to read from my TBR before I purchased a book. Uh, hope you do better than I did. Good luck with all your goals. Thanks for the follow, followed you back :)
