Musing Mondays: New Year Reading

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about New Year reading.

With the New Year here already, do you have any reading resolutions or goals (challenges aside) for 2010? Perhaps a new author? Genre? Want to read more non-fiction? Write more reviews?

It is the beginning of a new year, so naturally most people will start to make plans and/or resolutions for the coming year, after all it is always good to plan ahead and have things in order. That said, I will not be making any reading resolutions for this year (or the years ahead), and why is this so? Well, I used to make resolutions in the past, but there were times I got sidetracked by other things, and also some things are just unpredictable so I may as well take things as they are. Still, I don't mean that it is not a good idea to plan or make resolutions, I just take things easily nowadays, and that applies to my reading too. I will still sign up for more reading challenges, I think, after all it is fun and I always love seeing what other readers are reading.

I don't know about you, but I find it a pleasure exploring new authors because you would never expect what you would find in their books, and I love that kind of anticipation. As for reviews, I try to make it a point to write them as soon as after I have finished reading because that is the time where my thoughts on the books remain the freshest.

What about you? Do you make plans or resolutions for the new year?
