Sunday Musings #31: An Update On My 2018 Challenges!
Hello people
Did you guys have a merry Christmas and happy holidays? I will be visiting each one of you to check upon your celebrations soon.
Weekly Update
As I was telling you guys earlier, last week we had a staycation planned at Fujairah. I am showing a map so that you will know where I had been.
I loved the stay and gave me time to chill on the beach. I tried reading a lot but somehow I kept getting interrupted.
Oh well, I had fun anyway. Hit the follow button on Instagram to make sure you are getting updates from United Arab Emirates!
Even after I came back from the vacation I couldn’t shake the feeling off (does this happen to anyone else?) and I ended up not posting much this week.
Don’t you need my update about my 2018?
I enjoyed reading a lot of y’all’s yearly round up posts and loved a lot. I even found a few new bloggers in the process. So I thought I will couple this post with my 2018 challenge updates. Cuz why not, RIGHT?
2018 – an update
Take a look at the resolutions that I attempted for the year 2018 here.
Goodreads Reading Challenge: 35
Status: Done
Yes I know it is too low for a book blogger but you know what? I loved reading each one of them and for once, I wasn’t running like a headless chicken to reach the target.
I might be having a similar target for this year as well.
A-Z Reading Challenge
Status: Done
I know I have been talking a lot about finishing the A-Z Reading Challenge 2018 but I am so excited about this one so bear with me. I didn’t even expect me to finish this. YET I persisted.
Yes I will be joining in this one again.
Bibliobibuli Book Group challenge
Status: Done, I guess
While I read all the books that we chose, the group challenge kinda fizzled out. While the group is still alive and happening, we dropped the idea of group reads. Sigh.
Hey, I found this amazing book through the group read challenge – Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows
I am looking for a monthly group read / discussion to join, so if you know one let me know.
2018 Book Blog Discussion Challenge
Status: Done
You all know how much I adore Nicole and her monthly discussion challenge pushed me to write more and have more open discussions. Though I have not been regular in adding my posts to her link up, I am planning to change that in 2019.
I will be participating in this again and I plan to participate more in the discussion.
365 commenting challenge
Status: Epic failure
I loved this idea of meeting new bloggers all through the year and I was so pumped to start on this one. But I failed to complete it. I am so disappointed in myself.
That is why I started this Comment 4 Comment Challenge. It is not too late to sign up.
It is not too late to sign up for the Comment 4 Comment Challenge!

I did read better and deeper and blog more consistently. So I guess 2018 was not all bad on the blog front then.
I will be linking today’s post with Caffeinated reviewer’s Sunday post Meme.
