1. Sign up for Resolve to Read in 2018
Sign up for the Resolve to Read in 2018 with Hasty Book List Email Course. According to U.S. News, approximately 80% of resolutions fail by the second week of February. If you sign up before Jan. 1 this email course will take you through to the end of Feb, so you'll already be in the top 20% of New Year Resolution makers.
2. Make your goal measurable
Exactly how many books do you want to read in 2018? Think about how many books you read last year and consider what is realistic to read this year. Perhaps you read one more book than last year, or maybe you can double it.
3. Declare your goal on Goodreads
Every year Goodreads issues a reading challenge where participants share their goal with their Goodreads friends. New to Goodreads? Add me as a friend for a little extra support and encouragement!

5. Start off reading a YA novel -
