The end of the year is always such an exciting time. But, it can also be really stressful with the holidays and planning your next year. Do you make a New Years Resolutions list? I do, and this time I am including the goal to read more. With Kobo, this is going to be much easier and way more fun! Plus, it makes a perfect gift!

New Years Resolutions
Reading more is definitely at the top of my list. I have read a lot this year but it has been all textbooks. (Taking eight classes in one semester will do that.) I have lost a bit of my love for reading because let’s be honest… textbooks are textbooks. I can’t wait to get cozy with a cup of hot chocolate, a fuzzy blanket, and my reader. Now that I have the Kobo app, I can see what I have been missing out on all year!
Top Books of 2014
1. Gone Girl – Gillian Flynn 2. The Fault in Our Stars – John Green 3. Insurgent – Veronica Roth 4. Allegiant – Veronica Roth 5. Divergent – Veronica Roth 6. The Goldfinch – Donna Tartt 7. Written in My Own Heart’s Blood – Diana Gabaldon 8. The Rosie Project – Graeme Simsion 9. The Husband’s Secret – Liane Moriarty 10. Philomena – Martin Sixsmith

December 21, 2014 at 12:05 pmThis would be great for us travelling as often books are just too bulky to take around with us.

December 21, 2014 at 3:23 pmI dont make them anymore as never keep to them.
Jeanine says
December 21, 2014 at 3:42 pmI need to read more I think if I had a kobo I would! I loved reading on my iPad before it got disabled and we can’t unlock it. I’m going to check into a kobo!

December 21, 2014 at 5:30 pmI get so caught up in my writing that I often neglect to leave time for reading. What a great reminder … I’ve just added it to my resolutions list!
Michele says
December 21, 2014 at 7:18 pmAccording to Goodreads I have read 185 books this year–actually those are only the ones I reviewed I think and there are one or two more coming. I really should get some kind of an e reader—-all I have now is the free Kindle on my computer. I will look into KOBO. Somehow I don’t think I’d better make a resolution to read more in 2015!!

December 22, 2014 at 7:50 amReading used to be something I did all the time. That was before kids. Now 4 kids later, I haven’t found the time read. I love it though and will put it on my resolution list for this year!

December 22, 2014 at 8:47 amThis is the first time I’ve heard of Kobo and it sounds like a great app! I love that it’s available on so many different devices/operating systems!
Tanya Coffman says
December 22, 2014 at 10:37 amThis sounds like a great challenge for me! Part of my early new year’s resolution is to begin pleasure reading again. I’ve was addicted to reading then having 3 boys – I kinda got stuck in a 13 year run of veggie tales/bob the builder/spiderman books. This year – I’m taking my own identity back! lol
