2020 GoodReads Challenge

January 03, 2021

Here it is again, the annual countdown of how many books I have read in the year. The last couple of years I had done so well in achieving the target or reading more than what I had initially set myself. This year was different. I had set myself a target of 30 books and I only read 20. A lot of the time I felt unmotivated to read throughout lockdown but some books I whizzed through and others I struggled with.

2019 GoodReads Challenge

January 08, 2020

I love having the GoodReads app on my phone and for the last several years I have used the app to challenge myself to read more books every year. I've had a busy year and instead of pushing myself to read more books I thought I would keep myself consistent with last year and challenge myself to read thirty books...

Festive Reads

December 12, 2019

Tis' the season to snuggle up in the warmth and read a good book. And what better way to get some holiday cheer than to read some festive novels. Now I'll admit I haven't read many Christmassy books, in fact I've only read five. So I thought I would list the books that I have read along with some stories that I would love to read...

September 29, 2019

This year I have really got in to reading graphic novels. I have enjoyed the quick reads and loved some of the different artistic styles that go into these works depicting characters, landscapes and more. I thought I would share with you my top five graphic novels that I have read so far. These are not in any particular order...

2018 GoodReads Challenge

January 01, 2019

Being an active reader I like to keep a note of what books I am reading throughout the year. GoodReads is an app which does just that, it's a way of listing the books you've read, want to read and are currently reading, as well as reading others reviews on books and becoming a part of a book community. For the last couple of years I have been taking part in the GoodReads Reading Challenge; you challenge yourself to read a certain number of books in the year, and the choice is all yours. You could target yourself to read ten books or fifty plus books and GoodReads will track your progress as the year goes on. Last year I challenged myself to read 30 books in the year and I actually surpassed that target to read 40! That was pretty impressive for myself. This year I thought I would keep it simple and try to achieve 30 books again.... ...I actually managed to read 32! Below is the list of books that I read in 2018:

2017 GoodReads Challenge

January 21, 2018

In 2017 I challenged myself to participate in the GoodRead's Reading Challenge; this gets you setting yourself a target, however big or little you decide, to which throughout the year your profile tracks your progress and goals. And luckily last year they added to ability to include "re-reading", you could include books you've already read and would reread in to your goal. Adding the option of rereads books was amazing as we've all been there with reading slumps and the joyfulness of rereading a loved book shouldn't go to waste on your yearly target. Without further a do for 2017 I challenged myself to read 30 books...
