I want to start this year on a strong foot by asking about you guys! I seriously love the responses I got from the last two Dear Reader posts. They're fascinating and fun to read and make me wish that I could meet all of you in person. We could all meet at Alice's Tea Cup, drink tea, eat scones, and talk about our lives and our favorite books. If only.
I would love to know:
- your most important New Year's resolution
- a book that spoke to you recently
- a song your obsessed with right now
- a city you want to travel to
- your word for 2015
I'll go first:
- lose weight
- Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
- "Afterlife" by Ingrid Michaelson
- London
- engage
So who are you?

Hi Sarah, this is a great idea (better than a long survey ;))
ReplyDeleteMost important New Year's resolution? Write. Write more. Write everyday. Write in many different forms.
A book that spoke to you recently? Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon
A Song your obsessed with right now? Still.. Chandelier
A city you want to travel to? NYC
Word for 2015? CHANGE
Ps. I LOVE Attachments to, I read it long before FAN GIRL.
This is such a cool idea! I love it.
ReplyDelete// To be more organized, with everything!
// Oh man, I don't think I can pick just one! lol
// "Bang Bang" Jessie J (i know, it's awful, but it's my work out song! Keeps me moving!)
// Venice!
// Happiness
Love this idea!
ReplyDelete1. To eat healthier and drink more water! (I'm a huge maccers addict, it's disgusting!!)
2. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Her style of writing isn't anything to shout about, but I loved the journey the book put me on: I could not stop reading! I really liked how the book got me thinking about my relationship.
3. Tribe - Theophilus London
4. Venice
5. vibes
Shaqinah // Shoes & Roses

3. Up until recently, it was all about Christmas songs, of course! But I love Shake It Off. HATERS GONNA HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!!!
4. I really want to go to Barcelona...or back to New York!
5. Relationship. I need to sort out my relationship with my parents after the split, and also I have loads of new wonderful friends since I moved back to the UK. And also...it'd be nice to, you know, date a guy this year...
WHEN you come to London, I want to hang out!!!

I love this!
ReplyDelete1. Probably seeing one family member every month.
2. all of Gillian Flynn's books. They didn't really "speak to me" so much as they "got to me"

My main goal in 2015 is to be more productive and creative (productive is my word for this year). I really enjoyed Lena Dunham's book, I'm obsessed with "That Time" by Regina Spektor, and in 2015 I really want to make it to New Orleans.
