I am 9 books behind on my Goodreads 2016 Reading Challenge!!!!!
I know, I know...it's bad isn't it? Life has got in the way of my reading obsession, or I bit off more than I could chew. Either way, it bothers me every day when I open Goodreads on my computer.
For those not familiar with Goodreads, it is a lovely website where bibliophiles far and wide can post reviews of books, keep track of their to-read list, join in discussions with authors and reviewers alike and enter giveaways for free books. You can also set a reading challenge for yourself, choosing a goal of how many books you want to read during the course of the year. I have participated in the challenge since 2014...and picked 60 books as my goal. Now, I only put a hand full of kids books on there, the ones that really stand out to me, because I feel it would be cheating. Each week that I do Story Time, I read between 12 and 20 kids books on the theme I have chosen. See...cheating, undeniably. But this year I lost my fucking mind and picked 80 books!! And I'm only at 26! Ugh...and here I am starting a reading blog.
Well, I have a renewed verve and pep in my reading step. In starting this blog I have found a ton of other fabulous reading blogs out there...on Twitter, Instagram, Blogger...people posting lists, links to their reviews on Goodreads, etc. My to-read list has quadrupled in a week! Color me inspired.
So, my soul feels much better after this confession. I feel cleansed. Thank you for that.
If you haven't checked out Goodreads, or you're just curious what is on my reading list, take a peek. Do you have a reading goal for this year, if so let me know. In the meantime, I'm just gonna go grab another book off my shelf...I have some reading to do.
