2017 Reading Challenge


One of my favorite things to do each year is track how many books I've read throughout the year and also which books I've read. I always challenge myself to read a set number of books each year, and it's always really interesting to see what type of books I've gravitated towards and if any of my reading tastes have changed! Also, these lists give me a great place to look when people ask for recommendations! (My brain is mush. I can never remember what I've read!)

So, since it's a brand new year, it's time to start a new reading challenge and list! In 2016, I challenged myself to read 50 books. I ended the year only 4 books short of that goal! I was a little bummed I missed it, but I still feel pretty proud of myself. THIS YEAR, my goal is to read 40 books. I have a lot going on professionally and personally so I wanted to set an attainable goal. I'm going to be updating this post throughout the year and I will also be hyperlinking all the books so if any sound intriguing, feel free to click! :) (Takes you the book's amazon page).

I hope all of you have a wonderful year full of fabulous books and HAPPY READING!
