I really love that you make reachable, reasonable resolutions and usually end up completing quite a few of them! I'm so guilty of making unreasonable resolutions that I give up on after a month 😂
Ever since you mentioned using the Aesop bag to protect your books, I've been looking for the perfect pouch to protect my own. I ended up just sewing one myself by cutting up an old tote bag, but I'd love to see the product that you end up making! Also, thanks for the idea, I love knowing my books are protected now :)
Well excited for that Dutch video series, I'm a Dutchie myself and would love to read more Dutch authors but scarcely know where to begin. I've been watching your videos for quite some time now and I've loved seeing your channel grow! I admire the progress you've made, it definitely shows that you put time and effort into your videos: well done
Can’t wait to see your Dutch literature series 🙌🏻. Buying consciously is one of my top resolutions too - and a huge digital declutter. Love your energy Sanne 💛
I take zumba and barre classes at our community gym and I love them. The classes are taught by the same woman and there are some nights she takes no prisoners. And I love the idea of a little protective book bag. I've been using the little cloth bag that my new bed linens came in. Maybe also a pencil/art case? I have such trouble finding pencil cases that aren't made for my ten-year old students. I have a few resolutions this year. I try to find goals I think I'll actually accomplish or that I just need a little push to finally finish, though in the end, these are more ideas/guidelines than strict goals. I made a bunch of book goals for the year, the biggest one being to put a big dent in my TBR pile. The non-bookish ones though are: refresh my Italian skills, learn a new language (I had planned on Hungarian or Polish, but I just found out I'm going to Barcelona next year, so maybe Spanish), travel more, move to a new city, wear more red lipstick, keep a bullet journal the whole year, make 2 new recipes a month, start a book blog or Booktube channel (been thinking about it for ages), and get a tattoo.
wow you did great on your resolutions, and the best of lucks with the 2018 ones and the 30 before 30 list, I believe in you Sanne! 💪🏽 I made a whole video about my resolutions, but mainly I just want to finish my first and second draft of my novel and I'm actually feeling pretty confident 😁
I’m not doing resolutions because I give myself the hardest time if I don’t keep them up, self created self punishment. Ha. I’m going with intentions. Love that you’re trying lots of new things and seeing what works. I want to see more of the U.K. this year. I have never been to Ireland unbelievably. Here’s to more travel and trying things out in 2018, hope it’s a fabulous year for you x
Congrats on all your completed goals! I remember when you set your BAME author target last year and it inspired to me to do the same - 50% POC authors. And I did it! 51 out of 101 which was also twice as many total books as I expected! Also a linen book bag would be so useful, my books get quite bashed as I have nothing for them
Yes book protector bag! Please! I have wanted something for a long time (probably since you first mentioned that you own one!). Good luck with your resolutions, it sounds like a fun year!
Such a lovely end of year video. I enjoy how well thought out your resolutions are and I find them rather inspiring. Especially with how successful you were. I have a few for myself, but there no where as in depth as these. Also, I've always thought about trying zumba, but it just seems so fast paced that I'm not sure I could keep up!
I love Zumba too! A class I want to do more of this year as part of my resolution of exercising more. I find for myself that yoga and pilates is more something I like doing at home more than a class. I also have resolutions to cook more and to get out in nature more, so I have plans to find easy local walking trails to explore.
your goals area always really intense! Some of my goals this year are: healthy eating, work out, go to bed earlier, see friends more often (once per month?), and take a seminar.
I always love your end of year videos! I will write a list so I can see it everyday. I’ve had a tough year, so I’m going to try a 15 book challenge. Just bought you pin, can’t wait to get it!
I love all videos you make about goals, lists and resolutions :) great resolutions this year too, very inspiring. I still have to draw up my own list so maybe I'll mirror some of yours. Also yess you mentioned those book pouches before and I would definitely buy them, especially if the design is minimalistic and they come in different sizes. I have some canvas pouches but they usually only fit my smaller books so I'm in desperate need of pouches for awkward sized books haha
I'm so glad to hear that you want to own less stuff because that is one of my resolutions as well! I want to be more minimalistic (I'll probably never be a full-on minimalist), establish a cohesive personal style, and shop less impulsively. I also want to do more for my overall happiness: Read 20 books, go on 12 hikes, do 1 thing for my happiness weekly, improve my sleeping cycle, go on a trip by myself, and then start a blog and an Etsy shop.
You definitely DEFINITELY should partner up with the creators of Book Beau; it'a a protective sleeve for your books and it sells really well (I own 5 myself lol) and the owners do a lot of collabs with other bookish people and bookish related things so you should definitely link up with them if you can so that you can design your own. I'd buy it!!!
you can buy little linen bags for vegetables too that don't add weight the the produce if it's by weight there. They replace plastic bags/ plastic wrapping
oh what and awful waste.. in Canada we have little bags which it is implied that everyone should use... some things like cucumbers and mushy fruits are in plastic already but all the same, those linen bags might encourage you to visit a farmers market more, as they keep your veggies safe.
Hi I am from Morocco and I have been watching your videos for more than 2 years because I love them so much* Could you please send me the books and papers that you no longer need them?
I'm not a fan of resolutions (for me it's unnecessary disappointment haha) but I like that yours are realistic and it's nice to see that you actually complete a lot of them ! It's funny because I also really want to try to reduce my waste, I've been reading tons of zero waste blogs recently and while a lot of things did seem a bit over the top, there are definitely a few easy changes I can make. I also really want to use up my non-cruelty free beauty products and be completely cruelty-free by the end of 2018 !
places to visit in the Netherlands outside of Amsterdam, NIJMEGEN! (at least in the summer to go to the beach and go to cafes) but I might have a slight bias.... :)
Would definitely recommend Dorset if you want to go to the UK Countryside! Places like Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Old Harry Rocks etc are stunning-just google image them (though if you can hire a car that would definitely be best).
All right, you've inspired me to check out Zumba but also reminded me of the time I made hummus from scratch--and ended up mixing a bunch of tiny dead bugs into it. Tragic times.
oh my goodness I would LOVE a linen bag to protect books! I've actually been trying to find something like that since you mentioned using the Aesop bag for that purpose and have not found anything that works! Definitely in favor of that product!!
My resolutions are: read 24 books, visit a new country, donate blood, have at least 40 points in my Masters and improve my savings. I wanted to make resolutions that were doable and have nothing to do with fitness or health. I want to go exercising because I want to, not because I am obliged to do sk.
This year I want to: Buy only second hand clothing Take a photoshop class Write more poetry Become more comfortable hiking and camping solo Avoid single-use plastic as much as possible
I've been pretty much been vegetarian my whole life and am trying to incorporate more and more vegan meals/choices into my life. (And do the occasional vegan month throughout the year too). Thanks for your lovely comment!
Thanks for getting back to me! That sounds great, in 'Veganuary' there's so many more vegan options available in most places too so there's always lots of lovely food to discover! I went vegan three years ago now after being vegetarian most of my life too & I found the change surprisingly easy! I look forward to your next video :)
Well done on trying out gym classes, they terrify me! And I’d love a protective pouch for books (also maybe a tote bag?) Since you asked, here’s my resolutions videos: th-cam.com/video/FaC7LMwQnAE/w-d-xo.html

I don't usually do resolutions, but yours make me want to! :) These are refreshingly honest and positive.
A book pouch would be amazing! x
My only resolutions are to reduce waste and be more mindful about purchases (hoping to make some savings !) good luck with yours x
Well excited for that Dutch video series, I'm a Dutchie myself and would love to read more Dutch authors but scarcely know where to begin.
I've been watching your videos for quite some time now and I've loved seeing your channel grow! I admire the progress you've made, it definitely shows that you put time and effort into your videos: well done
I love that you have made a bunch of realistic goals and kept to them! It's actually really inspired me to make achievable goals for this year!
I look forward to this video every January , I watch it every year
A book protector would be AWESOME!
P.S. - I so enjoy this annual video :) Thanks for sharing, and great job with last year's resolutions!
Good luck with your resolutions! & Yes, please make a book sleeve!!! I have been looking for the perfect one!
Yes!!! A book pouch would be AWESOME!!!
Can’t wait to see your Dutch literature series 🙌🏻. Buying consciously is one of my top resolutions too - and a huge digital declutter. Love your energy Sanne 💛

I love your resolution videos so much! It's inspired me for the past few years to come up with 10 fun and interesting resolutions too :)

So psyched for the blog!!
I used to love Zumba when I was 19/20! I might see if my new gym does Zumba classes :D thanks for the reminder.
Coud you do a career update? Last year you missed it
I love Zumba too! A class I want to do more of this year as part of my resolution of exercising more. I find for myself that yoga and pilates is more something I like doing at home more than a class.

Make the bag! I would 1000% buy that!
A book protector would be such a good product to make!
Realy excited about the dutch literature series!
linen bags are a good idea!!! bookmarks or sticky notes would also tie in with the stationary/book theme!! :)
I'm so glad to hear that you want to own less stuff because that is one of my resolutions as well!

"Let's kick some ass in 2018" Yes!
Looking forward to the Dutch literature series!!

you can buy little linen bags for vegetables too that don't add weight the the produce if it's by weight there. They replace plastic bags/ plastic wrapping
+The Bibliotherapist the problem is more that all the veggies in my local supermarkets are already prewrapped in plastic! :(
oh what and awful waste.. in Canada we have little bags which it is implied that everyone should use... some things like cucumbers and mushy fruits are in plastic already but all the same, those linen bags might encourage you to visit a farmers market more, as they keep your veggies safe.
Hi I am from Morocco and I have been watching your videos for more than 2 years because I love them so much* Could you please send me the books and papers that you no longer need them?
I would love to have that linnen-book-pouch, wonderful idea!!! Please do it :)

Or Den Bosch :D
Happy New Year! A lovely video as always! How about A bookmark. It would be a really amazing prodact
a book pouch - YES!!!🙌🏻
Would definitely recommend Dorset if you want to go to the UK Countryside! Places like Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Old Harry Rocks etc are stunning-just google image them (though if you can hire a car that would definitely be best).
I really hope you get around to make the podcast this year! :)
omg, yes please do dutch literature! Maybe some books from Belgium as well? :D
Yes yes yes, please make a protective cover for books! :D
“Let’s kick some ass in 2018” is going to be my mission statement this year
Please do a book pouch. I've been meaning to get one for ages.
All right, you've inspired me to check out Zumba but also reminded me of the time I made hummus from scratch--and ended up mixing a bunch of tiny dead bugs into it. Tragic times.
I am working on figuring out what my 40 before 40 goals list is going to be.
Welcome 2018 welcome you.. Love your vlogs
oh my goodness I would LOVE a linen bag to protect books! I've actually been trying to find something like that since you mentioned using the Aesop bag for that purpose and have not found anything that works! Definitely in favor of that product!!
Is there a page or Goodreads group for the End of the World bookclub?
Yes to the linen bag
These resolutions look so much like mine!
Where in Northern Ireland did you?x
can you please do a top 10 books of 2017?
+HeyMissT it’s the next video :)
Book bag please!
Whereabouts in Northern Ireland did you go? My boyfriend is from Bangor :)
We went to Portrush and the Giant's Causeway :)
Oh I love it there! So beautiful

Accent💘
Here's more about Book Beaus:th-cam.com/video/j8lK30_p7aw/w-d-xo.html
i always wonder if booktubers do all this things (reading, challenges, etc) for fun or it is kinda an "obligation" to fit in the role of a booktuber
This year I want to:
Buy only second hand clothing
Take a photoshop class
Write more poetry
Become more comfortable hiking and camping solo
Avoid single-use plastic as much as possible
Are you vegan? ☺️ you mentioned a few vegan items so I thought maybe you are. I love your videos, they’re so relaxed and relatable! xx
I've been pretty much been vegetarian my whole life and am trying to incorporate more and more vegan meals/choices into my life. (And do the occasional vegan month throughout the year too). Thanks for your lovely comment!
Thanks for getting back to me! That sounds great, in 'Veganuary' there's so many more vegan options available in most places too so there's always lots of lovely food to discover!

Hey, nog iemand Nederlandstalig op Booktube! 😄 Ik wil er ook mee starten!
Leuke video Sanne! Leuk, mede Nederlander met Ierse partner. Ik woon 20 minuten buiten Galway 😊
Ahhh leuk! Daar wil ik ooit ook nog eens heen :)
Dan ben je nu een Galway Girl Linda ;) Lol!
+Sophie Kocken 😂
Wel zonder zwart haar en blauwe ogen ^^
Zeker een bezoekje waard :-)
Are the video or audio not synced or is it my data?
I can't see anything wrong, so it might be your data. (It's also audio from within the camera, so there was nothing to sync!)
Well done on trying out gym classes, they terrify me! And I’d love a protective pouch for books (also maybe a tote bag?)
Since you asked, here’s my resolutions videos: th-cam.com/video/FaC7LMwQnAE/w-d-xo.html
hey i need a writer buddy. anyone interested?
I thought you was 20
