- Finding Hope, Colleen Nelson

As this is also my first year participating in this challenge (and I don't know how well I'll do reading from a set list), I'm aiming for level 1 so 12 books and 1 book a month. These are the books I plan to read over the year:
- January - Fangirl, Rainbow Rowell
- February - The Other Me, Saskia Sarginson
- March - City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments #1), Cassandra Clare
So after the first quarter, I have read 3 of my 12 books and made an A!
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.
I'm going to set my goal at A Friendly Hug so 11 to 20 books.

I think a lot of people are having a hard time with the personal goals for Bookish Resolutions, I know I am failing at the moment but we still have time. My netgalley is going the wrong way too :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your A! You are doing awesome. Good Luck with the next quarter :)
The personal goals always seem to be the hardest goals to complete. Hopefully out Netgalley ratio's will start going up soon.
DeleteThanks so much!
