2015 In Review and 2016 Goals

The last few years have really been difficult for me when it comes to reading. I'm not exactly sure where I've ended up last year when it comes to books, but I definitely didn't make my yearly goal.  I haven't totally updated my goodreads profile, but it looks like I read somewhere between 120 - 130 books.

I have read some great books though in that number, though I have to say that I managed to overextend myself again and I read more for book tours then books that I've purchased.

I think that's how it may always be for me.

I hope this year I can read more from my net galley list and more from my TBR pile which is very out of hand.

The only challenge I plan on taking part in is the Goodreads challenge, but I'm not sure how high or low of a goal I'm going to set for myself this year.

What are your reading goals for this year?

Recapping 2013

I had a good reading year.

I read 200 + books all of which I reviewed. You can see them all here

As for my reading challenges

My goal at Goodreads was 170 and I hit 200, so yay me!
The Readalatte Challenge disappeared in the first month but that was basically the same as the goodreads challenge.

I failed at the Regency Romance Challenge and The Literary Exploration Challenge and The Library Books Reading Challenge.

I completed all of the other challenges I took part in! Woo to the hoo!

This year, I'm not going to do as many. I want to take time and enjoy my books and not feel as if I have to read something. I want the tours I take part in and the galleys I request to be books I want to read.

Best Reads Of January
Rather than go over my challenge posts which doesn't seem worthwhile doing, I want to highlight some of the best books I read in the month.

1. Sam Thomas' The Midwife's Tale: This book is the book that all other's have to live up to this year. I don't know if its good when I read something this great early on in the year, it could set the stage for some disappointment later on, but really, this is one fabulous read for fans of hisorical mysteries, great characters, great mystery and a great story!

2. Rosalind James' Just For Now: This is really a sweet read. Yes, there's some pretty hot sex, but as far as romance novels are concerned, this one is close to perfection, especially if you like the more family oriented stories. The characters are real and the relationship is too. It's part of a series, but not one that you have to read in order, as all the books are stand alone reads.

3. Tinney Sue Heath's A Thing Done: - This one started out slow for me, but once it got me it really pulled me in. This was a highly engaging story set in the 1200's in Florence, Italy. Lots of intrigue and emotion.

4. Margaret Lesh's Finding A Man For Sylvia - This one is ROTFLMAO! That's all I can say. Such fun! Hilarious! Just an all around good time. More chick lit then romance, but not even that. This is a book to make you smile.

5. Mitch Albom's The Time Keeper: I know why this book got all the hype, its a real emotional read. Its a bit short, but everything that needs to be said, gets said, and you really connect with the characters. This should be on the list of books you should read before you die.
