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 use Goodreads to help be track my progress.
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.
