Personal reading challenge: August Results

So Hi...


This month wasn't really a great month for me in terms of reading, I pretty much got hardly any done.
out of the 6 shortish books I chose from the unfortunate series of events series, I only got the first two books read, shameful. I just had a pretty busy month and spent a lot of it out the house and doing things, a lot of the time I was also a little too tired to read when I got home.

If I'm honest I don't plan to set any certain books to read for September, I'll definitely finish reading the last 4 books from August but with me moving to a new place for uni, a big new city, I feel like reading will be the last thing on my mind and if I am reading it'll be textbooks and uni work, which I don't think you guys will care too much to know about. I'll definitely make sure to read a book a month at the bare minimum and when I settle into uni life I might start up this little challenge again.

How did you read anything particularly interesting this month?

We'll talk soon lovelies!

Personal Reading challenge-June.

So Hi..

So I keep getting so out of touch with reading, college, friends and a lot of the time the internet has meant I spend rarely any time reading, and even though I try to read before I go to bed sometimes I just get too tired to read and fall straight asleep. this always upset me as I love reading, As a kid I read ridiculous mounts to the point my dad got frustrated buying more books for me every couple of days, and I feel because of all that reading it really benefited me intellectually, Like I would not have the ability to achieve if I did not spend as much of my time reading as I did.

So for the month of June I decided to give myself a challenge of reading 3 books minimum, this may seem like a pretty small amount but I don't want to go crazy until I know I'll do it and make time for it. Although One of the books I'm planning as one of the 3 I am halfway through so may add Another book so it would technically be 3 and a half books. I know which first 3 books I'm planning to read, But have yet to decide on a final one.

1st book: My Sister's Keeper-Jodi Picoult: This is the book I'm halfway through and so far I'm really loving it, the different points of view and way it's written just draws me in.

2nd book: Beautiful Creatures-Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl: I kept delaying reading this book, Starting it then losing it and then restarting a few months later, I really just need to complete it! I know its also the first of a series of books and may buy the others in the future if I enjoy it

3rd book: A Thousand Splendid Suns-Khaled Hosseni: This book was a recommendation from a friend and I'm really looking forward to reading it as it sounded really interesting when she told me about this one.


For the fourth book I might try and get a copy of ' The fault in our stars' as I'm really dying to read it, that or 'Looking for Alaska'

And yeah Once the month is up I shall come back letting you know if I managed it, I also might try to keep it up each month if I do it successfully the first time, with a number of book I have and 3 books a month.
