2233 I try not to make specific goals, as I know that I either become overambitious and make some crazy claim that there's no way that can be accomplished in my own sane mind. (or insane? Debatable.)

So just a few things:

- Actually finish all these series I'm in (specifically Rosie Project and Dark Tower)
- ATY in 52 Books Challenge and PopSugar completion (if I do complete it, it'll be my first year actually doing so xD - even if I've attempted it the past 6 years)
- Read more Stephen King
- Read more Classics
- Make a sizeable dent in my TBR, can i bring it down to 3 digits? Probably not, I can dream though.

2233 If you guys are looking for a good place to have this meetup - there's a large courtyard inside of the Gold & Diamond Park in front of FAB Metro Station.

Has some seating for the cafe there, lots of shade and it's also right in front of The Old Library. (Yes, there's a full-blown library in Dubai - https://www.theoldlibrary.ae/ )

Full Disclosure - I'm actually one of the many volunteer librarians at the library, do come by and say hi ^_^

Lots of bookish people around and it's a great atmosphere to just talk all things books-related!

2233 I'm actually volunteering for the Lit Fest ^_^ You'll most likely find me at the information desk!

It's really awesome, you bump shoulder to shoulder with some great authors. Got to talk to Anthony Horowitz and had a book signed by Cheryl Strayed last year!

You should definitely come by and check it out!
