Personal Goals

• Get my own place
• January - December - I'm actually going to keep this secret until I know something is actually happening. I don't want to jinx anything.
• Lose half a stone
• January - lost 2 1/2 lb so far!
• February - gained 2 1/2 lb... well that sucks! Back to where I started already!
• March - maintained weight which kind of sucks when I'm making an effort to lose :(

The second challenge I want to participate in is the 2017 Reading Assignment Challenge hosted by Berls @ Fantasy is More Fun and Michelle @ Because Reading. Sign up is open until 1st July 2017. I'm hoping this will help me reduce the number of physical books I have still to read.

This year 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 - Odd and the Frost Giants, Neil Gaiman
• February - Quidditch Through the Ages, J.K. Rowling
• March - The Tales of Beedle the Bard, J.K. Rowling -  I got an A!
