Thank you Tracy! I didn't think I could reach this goal but I did. Still kind of in shock truth be told.

I'm going to do a smaller reading goal next year since I'll be graduating from university, getting married, moving to a different city, and overall getting used to a new life. All this means I might not be able to read much so I'm thinking about either trying to read 40 or 52 books.

What about you?


message 5: by Carolane (new)

Carolane I'm thinking of leaving the same amount. I stopped using social media as much and have substituted that time with reading for the most part. Congrats on finishing

Oh my gosh yes! Honestly I feel a little spoiled because I read 5 books that just blew me away. They stand alone books that I loved were "A Girl's Guide to Moving On" by Debbie Macomber, "The Girl Who Drank the Moon" by Kelly Barnhill, "Threads and Flames" by Esther M. Friesner, "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie, and "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller.

I also really enjoyed discovering a new series called "The Dresden Files" by Jim Butcher. I'm currently reading the second book. I'll always love my cosy mystery series starring Hannah Swensen by Joanne Fluke. Whenever I feel uninspired to read or really miss my fiancé I just pick up a Swensen Mystery and it helps a lot. My fiancé is the one who has given me all the books I own from these series.
