January 2016
I love January. Clean slate and eager to read. Bout of Books read-a-thon. A whole year ahead of us! I'm off to a good start this year. I'm excited about so many new books and am pushing myself to finish some series so I can start some new ones. And there are so many book to movie adaptations coming out soon that I need to get around to!

These children's books are really helping me get my percentage back up but I'm not counting them towards my goal of 10 books for the year. We just enjoy reading them. You can see my reviews for them in my

How did you guys do on your goals this month? What was your favorite book?
I love the around the world challenge! The map looks awesome :) great reading progress this month!
ReplyDeleteIt's my favorite challenge! I'd love to travel in real life but I'm okay with doing it through literature right now! I love keeping track of the map, too! It's a lot of fun. :)
DeleteDamn girl, you read a ton of fantasy in January! This. Is. Awesome. You're so close to knocking your goal out of the park already, so upping it might be a good idea ;)
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to change my goal to 25 since I plan on starting a few more fantasy series this year. It's my favorite genre so I probably won't have any problem reaching that either!
DeleteI'm also doing the Flights of Fantasy challenge! You did a really good job this month, some of the books you read are so good! You should totally increase your goal, since you're doing such a good job!

I think I definitely will raise my goal now. I wasn't sure I could fit in a lot of reading before the year started but I'm doing so good that I might as well give myself a bigger goal to work towards! :)
