2016 will be the years of challenges for me. I really want to try and make this year as productive as I can. I would like to accomplish multiple things this year. I will be hopefully mixing and matching a lot of these challenges since there is a lot of challenges that I would like to join this year.
Challenges
I need to read more of the books that I own before buying more new books. I keep buying new books and forgetting of previous books I own. I am hoping to changing that this year. I would like to read more of the books I own prior to the beginning of the year.
My goal is to read:
Mt. Vancouver - Read 36 books from by TBR pile
I think it’s a reasonable amount of books for the year specially when I own way too many books that I haven’t read yet.
Status: 8/36
This one is a long time coming. I have been reading the Anita Blake series for years and I am yet to finish it. I stopped in book 8 and never continue, even though I own up to book 16 I believe and the series is still continuing. I am hoping that this year I can finish at least up to the books I own which are still a lot in the series.
My goal is to read:
Level One - 5 - 9 books Surviving the book Tsunami
Status: 0/9
I love horror movies. I am surprise I haven’t read that many horror books. I would like to change that this year. I am hoping to read more horror novels during the year. Hopefully I can discover new authors.
My goal to read:
Brave Reader - Read and review 6 - 10 books
Status: 1/10
This is a goal I can hopefully complete this year. Having a consistency is an important thing for me and hopefully this challenge can bring that for me. I am hoping to post at least one review a week. Making it a total of 52 reviews. Just hoping I can meet that goal and hopefully more.

I have a serious problem. I buy and buy books and they end up being in my bookshelf for a very long time. This year will be different ( I say every year). No really this year will be different (I hope). I am hoping that this year every time I read a book I will read it right away instead of keeping it in my shelf for years. This is a perfect challenge for that.
My goal to read:
60 - 80 % Maximising Return
Status: 30%/80%
Fantasy is one of my favorite genre in literature. I love reading about new worlds and magic systems and this year I would like to read more worlds
My goal to read:
10-20 Fantasy novels
Status: 4/20
Every year I set a goal in my goodreads to read the total of 50 books and every year once I reach that goal I start slowing down in the reading. I am hoping that this year to change that also. I will be setting my goal of 100 books this year hoping that I continue reading until I reach my goal.
Status: 19/100
Here goes for a year full of reading and hoping I could reach my goals :D Good luck to everyone with their challenges.
Thanks for joining in the Read the Books you Buy reading challenge, many of us have the same problem, just today I read a book I bought earlier in the year dying to read it! Finally I got to read it. All the best with all your challenges.
ReplyDeleteI hope to actually be able to complete accomplish that this year. Here is for succeeding. Wish you luck also.
DeleteThank you! :D
You've picked a nice group of challenges. I'm doing the Mt. TBR with you. Whew! Need that. Thanks for signing up for a couple of our Delighted Reader challenge. Good luck, Mel!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have so many TBR books it's insane. Hoping to evaluate my books this year and really focus on the books that I already own. Looking forward to completing the challenges :D
DeleteThank you and good luck to you too :D
If you can keep reading the Anita Blake series... well, what can I say. You must really, really, really be addicted to reading. I mean, I think I forced myself through to book 15 but eventually had to stop because I just couldn't take it anymore. Gratuitous sex is one thing, but when that starts to overwhelm the actual STORY, I must bow out...
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
It get's that bad. I was thinking of stoping. But wanted to see where it went. I haven't picked up the series in a while. I did enjoyed the first 5 books in the series but then it was just getting all over the place.
DeleteThanks.
