Scrapbook 2012

[felicityking]

Goals:
50 books. 50 films. To read 1 Shakespeare play. (Every year I pull out my Shakespeare and think "I'll read a play this year" and then never get around to it!)

April 6, 2012. One Resolution Down. Methinks I'll go for 100!
July 5, 2012. 100 FREAKING FILMS!!!
September 14, 2012 150 FILMS!!!!!!!
NOVEMBER 11, 2012 200 FILMS!

November 30, 2012. Completed Shakespeare play!

The final list of everything I read or viewed this year. While I didn't hit 50 books, I also didn't lose any books either, so I'm contented. 2 out of 3 isn't bad. Plus, my film education was phenomenal. Please see my cinema recs for this year for why I loved them.

50 films is sort of my resolution as well ;)

[felicityking.livejournal.com]

I would like to watch more than 50 but night shifts and TV series and news will keep me preoccupied. But I'm going to try! (Over on tumblr, someone posted a 'watch 365 movies challenge' which I think is insane!)

What I didn't add cuz I didn't want to overload myself was watching 50 plus all 8 Harry Potter and non-HP films by HP actors. But that seemed complicated and overwhelming. So right now I'm just aiming for 50 with a focus on HP actors. (DLed a ton of their movies. So I'm off to good start. Just have to start watching them.)

How many films did you watch last year?
