Two New Year's Resolutions I Actually Kept

This blog has been the best way I've found to keep myself on track for resolutions. Every New Year's resolution I've posted on here, I've actually kept! This year, I even accomplished TWO resolutions! So I thought I would celebrate a bit.

Commenting on Blogs

In January, I posted about my resolution to comment on at least 5 blogs a week. Commenting is one of those things that is all too easy to let slip through the cracks, and I was tired of forgetting to do it. I successfully kept this resolution, although it would be more accurate to say I commented on average on 5 blogs a week. Some weeks still got forgotten, but I always made it up later. I have loved being a more regular part of the blogging community through commenting, and I plan to keep this resolution up in 2016!

Book Buying Limit

At the end of 2014, I realized that I had purchased 120 books that year. That was a lot, and certainly more than I thought I had bought. It worked out to an average of 10 books a month. In 2015, I decided I needed to get things under control a bit. So I set a limit for myself of only buying 5 books a month. That would be a total of 60 books for the year, which would be half of what I bought in 2014. I'm happy to say that I successfully held myself to this limit! Like commenting, it really worked out to an average of 5 books a month - some months I didn't buy any, some months I bought a lot. But as of right now (and granted, there are still a few days to go in the year. . .​), I bought only 57 books in 2015 - three to spare!

I'm really proud of myself for accomplishing this goal, because I didn't think it was possible. But now that I know I can do it, I can hopefully hold myself to it for another year! (Although I make no promises.)

Have you successfully kept any resolutions this year, bookish or otherwise?
Let's celebrate!
