Nerdish new year resolutions

I am actually writing this more for my own memories sake than anything. The old I get, the more difficult it is to remember things I said I'd do at the beginning of the year. So I came up with a couple of nerdy new year resolutions, since giving up my period for the new year never seems to work out for me. DAMN YOU UTERUS!!!!

Resolution
1. Finish goodreads challenge of 100 books. I surpassed my goal last year, (a goal I totally forgot that I set), by 35 books. Luckily, graphic novels, manga and children's books TOTALLY count on goodreads. Yay for small favors.

2. Finish the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. At the moment, I am less than half way through the monster that is book 4. At the moment, the plan is to read at least one-three books a month. This way I'm not on complete WoT overload, and can cleanse my brain with other books. If all goes according to plan, I should hopefully finish the series by the fall. Don't hold me to it or anything, but I'm hoping that is what happens.

3. Finally finish Tales of Xillia 2!!!I have been working on this game for far too long. I love it, I really do, but books keep getting in the way and then I forget to pick up a game controller. I need to finish Tales of Xillia so I can start on Tales of Zestria. That has been teasing me since last fall.

4. Get through all the DLC in Dragon Age Inquisition. Now, I did have a review all ready for this. But, I felt it was unfair to write a review before I've playthrough every class, romanced everyone I can and play all the DLC. I've done maybe 4ish playthroughs. I do love the game, but I feel I need to play it more in order to bring an honest review. It will be two years late, but that's just how I roll

5. Read at least 3 non-fiction books. I don't have anything against non-fiction. I just don't really feel the need to read about someone's existence who is either better or worse than mine. I realize there might be some good non-fiction books out there and I'm limiting myself by not reading them. I plan to change that. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to recommend.

6. Start a youtube channel. I have actually been thinking about doing this since I discovered booktube last year. I be all like "Whhhat??!!There is a place on youtube where I can watch people talking about books, hauling books, reviewing books?! I can do that!" After months of planning, I'm finally getting around to buying the equipment I would need. Tripod, lights (because my room is fucking dark.)etc.. I'm not doing it to be popular, or get subs. I'm doing this because I love talking about books, and love other people who love talking about books, games, graphic novels...getting in touch with my peeps!

That's all. The resolution list is small. Because, why overexert yourself with needless effort. WOOT!
