***The Starry-Eyed Revue***: bookish bucket list

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the awesome ladies at The Broke and the Bookish. Apparently, they are overly fond of list-making and love to share their bookish lists with the rest of us book nerds. =) We're game.

This week's list features the Top Ten Items On My Bookish Bucket List. Could be blogging related, book related etc. -- meeting authors, reading x many books per year, finishing a daunting book, etc.

April's picks:

-Go to a large book event. I’ve only ever been to a book signing, no large events. I’m signed up to work at one this Spring so I’ll be knocking this off the list real soon! I really want to go to BEA someday. *sigh* Someday.

-Read all of Sarah Dessen’s books. Lame? Maybe, but a couple years ago my friend Andrea and I decided we wanted to do this together. It was our Dessen Quest. Life got in the way, and it just never happened. I’m going to make it happen, even if it’s on my own.

-Finish all the series books!! Let’s be honest, this will never happen, because I continue to pick more without the finishing the ones I’ve started.

-Meet Jess and Jen in person… This will happen someday. Probably not anytime soon, because we all have little ones and you know how that is. But I would love to actually meet them someday.

- Read Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. Two of my H.S. friends read, loved and raved about these books. They have been trying to get me to read it forever, so I plan to someday do this. It’s so freaking long though that it’s damn near impossible to squeeze into my reading schedule.

Jen's picks:

- To finally read Outlander by Diana Gabaldon: I have the audio for Outlander, but it's like 33 hours long, which to me, is rather daunting. But I usually finish an average length audiobook in a day or two. Still, I want to know what everyone is going on about.

- To finish that damn review archive: April and I have been discussing the review archive forever, but we've actually put very little work into it yet. We need to rectify that immediately.

- Start writing my own stories again...the ones that have been wandering around in my head for ages: Not for anyone else to read, necessarily, but just because I want to. I used to write all the time, even some really bad poetry, but life and blogging take up most of my free time these days, so I haven't put pen to paper in awhile.

- Read all of the unread books on my shelves: Something else I need to do that requires more free time is reading all of my unread books. And there are some really good ones on my shelf. Even some full series that I could read back-to-back. That would be a welcome change.

- Attend BEA: I thought I was going to be able to attend BEA this year, but my plans fell through. Really hoping to be able to swing it next year, though. I just want to experience it once. I don't think that's asking too much. =)

How funny that two of our bucket list items are the same! We didn't even discuss this beforehand! I don't think there was ever a question that our co-bloggership would work out. =)

So, what's on your bookish bucket list? :) Share the link to you TTT post so we can visit!
