I know I haven't posted on here since back in January. Life gets in the way. As well as me forgetting this blog. No more putting my blog on the backburner. I will promise to post more frequently from this point on. I don't want to post a review for every book I have read. I will share posts of the books I received for review. Along with the book's I adore. I wish you all could still comment on here. I miss getting feedback from you all.
What you've missed while I was gone. I completed my Goodreads goal for the year. I know I set it at 20. I surpassed that number so I reset it to 100. Woohoo!! I'm currently reading 2 books. Yes, I am one of those readers who reads more than one book at a time. I usually like to have a Kindle book on the go and a physical book.
Besides reading.... I have been spending time with my family and my kitties. We added 5 more this past April. The house has been a little more crazy but I wouldn't trade it in for anything. We have 9 cats, all fixed and have their shots. One dog.... I spent time at a local dirt racing track.My little brother actually raced a few races there. Nervous about him doing it again next year. I got my third tattoo a ladybug on my left hand. My Mom, my future sister in law, and myself got them.
I guess that is everything I needed to catch you all up on. I will be posting my complete list of books I read in 2016. Along with my top 16 of 2016.
Happy Reading, Ashley

2015 Reading Goals Wrap Up/ 2016 Reading Goals
My reading challenges for 2015 were:
I set my Goodreads reading challenge to 40 books. Which I did completed. I then kept track of the books I read after my goal which was 53. In total I read 94 books in 2015.
My other reading challenge was to finish up some series I had opened. Out of my list I had set. I only finished 5. Only one series wasn't on my list. I abandoned a few that I no longer wish to read. The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices, and the Incarceron dulogy by Catherine Fisher.
Onto to my reading goals for 2016:
My Goodreads goal is 20 books.
Read more of my own books (physical books and kindle books)
Read whatever catches my eyes
No TBR's , I don't know about you guys but if I make a list of books to read. I lose interest and will read other books to avoid the ones I choose beforehand.
Less YA more adult fiction. Don't get me wrong I love YA. But I feel a bit burned out on YA. I will read some YA. But it won't be the front runner for me anymore.
Finish series. I know I failed at this goal in 2015. But I really need to finish more series.
That's my goals for the year. What are yours?
Happy Reading, Ashley
