Hello My Lovely Booknerds, I know it has been a while since I've posted anything on here. But since my family and I got a "new" computer. I will be back to blogging once a week or so. I've been reading a lot and also I have a new obsession. I became addicted to the tv show Supernatural. Right now I'm almost finished with season 6. My goal is to be caught up in time for season 13 premiere in October. Besides reading, watching tv, been spending some weekends at a local dirt racing track Selinsgrove Speedway. My brother stared racing there last year. It has been an interesting experience. He is getting better with each race. He has had 3 wrecks. One was from himself. The other two were because of other drivers. I will post some pictures of his car soon. We have added some new kitties to our clan. We had nine. One passed away. But then a little angel know as Cupcake appeared on our porch. She has been ours for almost 3 months now. Besides her we still have Fiona and Sofia. As well as Bam, Binx, Ozzy, Romo, Sniffles, and Bella. Our dog Sadie passed away back in January. Life hasn't felt the same. 2017 has been a tough year.
I miss talking about books and life with you all. I hope you all are looking forward to my reviews and posts about life and what not.
Sorry for being MIA. I found it difficult to blog from my phone and kindle. But if you follow me on Goodreads. You will see everything I've been reading.
I will post my July wrap up tomorrow.
Happy Reading, Ashley

Absence Makes the Heart Go Fonder
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
