- Read 20 physical books I already owned prior to 1st January
- January - 2
- Reread 5 books

- Reach my Goodreads goal this year (65 books)

The fourth, and final, challenge is the 2016 TBR Pile Reading Challenge hosted by Evie @ Bookish Lifestyle. The aim is to read as many books (published in or before 2015) from your TBR as possible. Sign up is open until 31 November 2016.

DeleteGood luck!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! x
DeleteI am also participating in the first two of these challenges, tehy are fun! getting my netgalley percentage up is also one of my goals, but it's been going down instead of up since the start of the year. I am hoping to get it to 70% at least. You made some nice progress on your goals already!
ReplyDeleteMy ratio has been going down too! I went a bit mad with my requesting the first few weeks of the year and then I got auto-approved for Sourcebooks Fire, so I'm really working hard to stop myself browsing now.
