Reading Challenge Update:

I challenged myself to read 50 books this year.

Last year I challenged myself to read 25 and ended up with 40, so this year I shot high to hope for the best.

I don’t really consider myself a fast reader, especially if I get really into a series, I try to stretch it out as much as possible with those. But I do tend to read more than one book at a time depending on what I am doing and what mood I am in. Sometimes I struggle with reading really emotional books, and I lean more toward gentler, easy reads. Other times I want horror and tragedy and thriller. It truly just depends.

The Book.

The Book. The Book has been a very hot topic lately. I talk very sparingly about it and I always include it in my yearly goals “start the book” “finish the book”. It’s there but I’ve never touched the topic much. To be quite honest with you I’m extremely superstitious. I harp on the idea…
