I think that my year on goodreads was pretty good this year. I've come a long way since I joined in 2010. I really wasn't very active until last year. Then I started reviewing a bit here and there with some bland reviews. I set a challenge goal and exceeded it but that was really it. 
 This year I really began to flourish. I set a higher reading challenge and exceeded it. At the beginning of the year I was reviewing books in a standard monotone way giving some bored facts and opinions with no real flair. Now my reviews show confidence and a piece of who I am. I'm not afraid to add in some wit or lively sarcasm. My opinions are less guarded. I read a ton of great books, several mediocre books and a few bad ones. I think that also says a lot. I'm not afraid to not like something anymore. I'm also ok with not finishing books that I don't like which I used to never do. 
 I've made some new friends. I used to be very shy and hesitant about approaching people to be friends on goodreads who I didn't know personally. Now I've really come to depend on several of my new friends reviews when it comes to the books I choose or how I prioritize them. Thank you friends! 
 I've also joined a few groups. One in particular has welcomed me with open arms from the start. The Bookaholics. Since I joined this little YA book club has grown to almost quadruple its size due to the dedication of its main moderator. It is such a fun and welcoming group. I became more and more active and had the pleasure of being asked to become a Mod myself. I could not be more honored. I've also become great friends with the other mods in the group which I am truly grateful for. 
 So I have to say that I think this year has been a good one for me on goodreads. I've come a long way and become even more of a bibliophile than I ever was. I'm looking forward to making next year even better.
