2019 #BookishResolutions Sign Up! Gets get those resolutions done together!!!


If you joined Bookish Resolutions this year you would have noticed that it completely disappeared.
No updates. No tweets. Nothing. During the event sometime in the beginning of the year my co-host became a popular author, leaving her little time for blogging. I am super proud of her, but since I also dropped the ball, the challenge just didn’t really make it this year. Thankfully my Co-Blogger and Co-host to all my other challenge decided to join in with this one for 2019. And we have some excited things to add. I do hope you will join us this year!
It’s time for the brand NEW challenge for the New Year: 2019 Bookish Resolutions Challenge
We are going back to basics! Bookish Resolutions Challenge is about setting New Year’s Resolutions for Reading, book blogging or Writing…You can sign up via blog post, Facebook, Twitter or Goodreads!

Sign Up is between December 11th to February 28th, the challenge starts January 1st and ends December 31st 2019

To help you - and us - be successful with our resolutions, we’ll be hosting a Bookish Bootcamp, as well as weekly Task it Tuesdays. Both will be great ways to stay on track with those goals!

*Bookish Bootcamp ~~~~~~~~~~

During the year we are planning to have two events that help get some of these goals or any type of goal accomplished whether it’s to do some maintenance on your blog, finish those posts you wanted to do or even write 10k with no distraction. We will have two Bootcamps in the year. Make sure to follow the hashtag, join the group or subscribe to emails to get notipficated for when the Bootcamp Events will be.

*Task It Tuesday ~~~~~~~~~~

created by the fabulous Geeky Blogger and adopted first by Because Reading and now by Because Challenges.

What is Task it Tuesday? Task it Tuesday is a weekly meme dedicated to the list makers of the blogging/writing world. It’s all about being productive and organized – on your blog and in real life (if you so chose). By sharing our lists we get instant accountability partners and also get ideas of things to add to our lists (or sometimes ways to tackle tasks more efficiently). We hope you’ll join us!

Check out BecauseChallenge.com each week to sign up to Task It Tuesday and let's get organized and be productive together. Task it Tuesday with start the first Tuesday in Jan 2019.
