It’s the middle of January, so it’s time for a small update to make sure I am staying on track!

Books TBR

• 5th Wave by Rick Yancey (went on the list because I finished it Jan 2)
• The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey (Read, just haven’t reviewed yet)
• Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
• Broken by Susanne Valenti (ARC) (Currently Reading)
• Teen Frankenstein by Chandler Baker (ARC)

Projects to Work On

Okay, I haven’t really finished any of these yet. But I have been working on the presents for Grey! 

• 85 lines of my 4th Doctor scarf (I’ve done the math, and it’s 1004 lines total. I should have it done and ready for next year)
• Presents for Grey
• Hats for a friend’s daughter

Monthly Goals

• Fix/Redo my Bucket List – it’s a bit old and outdated
• Get out and do a 2nd hike (weather permitting — won’t be fun to do all the 52 hikes from May-August now!) It’s been too cold and I’ve been fighting a crappy cold. But hopefully I’ll find a day this month.
• Write 9,000 words
• Get back into yoga Currently working on – I am doing DailyBurn’s yoga program. 

Other Things

I decided on my yearly reading challenges! I am doing Bustle’s Reading Challenge, which encourages reading books by women and writes of color. I need to sit down and assign a book to a spot, but I’m excited. I am also doing Modern Mrs. Darcy’s reading challenge, which is 12 books in 12 different categories. As I finish books in either challenge, I’ll be sure to denote it on my reviews.

I also cleaned up my 30 Days Challenges and made a list of hiking places to check out near the city. I still need to make a list of things to check out in NYC.
