Wishing everyone a very Happy and healthy New Year!

A New year and new challenges ahead!

 

READING CHALLENGES/ BOOKS READ FOR 2016

My overall goal is to read 350 books in 2016. I will keep a running total here as well as on Goodreads.(In 2015, I listed the books on Goodreads but did not keep up here. I resolve to do better! But I surpassed my goal of 350 books in 2015 – by 8))

 

Here are the challenges I am joining for 2016

  1.  Modern Mrs. Darcy Reading Challenge

3.  Mount TBR Reading Challenge

Mount TBR 2016

I have attempted this the past few years but my TBR pile never seems to decrease! If I stopped buying books it would help I am sure.

My goal is to read at least 2 TBR books a month so I plan to climb Mt. Blanc!

    • Thanks! A number of those were picture books though. Also I am retired so have a bit more time on my hands. But it was a good year for reading for sure. Lots of variety.
