Looking Back on 2013 and ahead to 2014

This came when I borrowed a book from the university library.
Love the sentiment!

Woah, it's Christmas tomorrow! I can't believe the year has gone by so fast. So, let's take a lot at how the year went blogging wise:

I FINISHED ALL MY READING CHALLENGES :D I was a bit unsure about the Tea and Books reading challenge, but in the end, I did it! You can find more details at this page.

Plus, I won NaNoWriMo for the second year in a row!

That's really all I want to say *bows out*

...

Oh yeah, I wanted to talk about what's going on next year too.

Reading Challenges: Nope, not entering any at all. Why? Because I have something planned - so keep you eye out!

Memes: I've only taken part in Teaser Tuesdays this year, and I have a sneaking suspicion that I might take part in it less and less often in 2014.

Blog Tours: Bring on the tours!

So to sum, next year, I really want to go back to basics and focus on books and reading. I'm still working out the weekday schedule (I will probably be unable to post on Friday due to golf practice, but whether I can post on Monday is a bit uncertain), but my Saturday posts will alternate between Long Reads (a summary of the long form fiction/non-fiction that I've been reading), a review or a post about reading/writing. Sundays will remain post-free (please, stop your tears. Oh, they were tears of joy? Well, stop anyway). If I post on Sunday, it's probably because it's part of a blog tour.

And in addition, I plan to be a lot more active on Google+. I'll try to post at least once every day and reply to all comments within a day. And participate more in the Google+ Book Club. And post content other than reviews. I highly encourage you to follow this page (and my personal page too, if you're interested).

Those are my plans in a nutshell? How about you? How did your year go, reading/blogging wise?
