Reflections of 2019

It's the time of the year for me to take stock of twenty nineteen. I really can't believe it that in a couple of days, I will have to say good by to it.  I always seems to say the same thing around the same time each year but it is a fact that can't be denied and that is 'time flies'.


So, how did I do this year?  What's my report card like?

I surprised myself by posting 60 posts for the year.  I guess keeping it consistent helps in managing the number of posts although I would be quite happy with 50 posts.  Shall we try to keep to 60 posts for next year too?

I read about 40 books this year. Maybe I missed out a book or two but ya, it's around that number.  That means I average about 3 books a month so I think it's about just right.  Taking into consideration my schedule and and my commitment for the year, averaging about 3 books is the best I can do at this point and I am quite at peace with it.  If I can keep this momentum for next year, I would be quite happy with it too.

Favorites of the year...most certainly are the titles by Camilla Lackberg.  I think I read about seven of her titles.  I am also happy to complete my Heroes of Olympus Series and glad to start Trials of Apollo Series too.  These series are written by Rick Riordan.

I also completed a journey I set out two years ago.  It was a difficult journey but one that was filled with much fulfillment and I am so glad I took the road less traveled.  I also hope that this journey will lead me on to different paths but we shall have to wait and see.

I bought only two books this year! This and this. Amazing! Super proud of myself.  I didn't really set out a target but was just seeing how I would fare and I think I fared pretty well...heheh...I also received some books as gifts this year which I am extremely thankful for.

I only set up one pop up stall at a flea market and I have plans for something different next year.  Let me see if I can get it done.

I traveled four times, this, this and this and I didn't post about the latest one.  Looking forward to travelling to a favorite country next year. :)

So, that's about all for this year.  Looking back, I didn't quite like this year but I am thankful for it.

Anyway, good bye twenty nineteen.  Thank you too.

How was your year?
