WOW 80 books off your shelves? Fantastic, Jenny! Good luck!!

I'm hoping to do the same; I know how I am with new releases though, so hopefully those and audiobooks will be the majority of my library checkouts. I'm trying to set up yearly challenges that involve books I already own, just to knock them out :)

It was just an okay read for me. Really wanted to like it more, but just didn't grab me.

The last two months have been horrible for me as far as reading goes! I've been super busy with wedding plans for my daughter, as well as having the worst reading slump ever!
But I have been reading more the last 2 weeks so I'm hoping that's over now! No idea if I'll actually get caught up to get all my goals accomplished by the end of the year, but I'm still going to try!

Read 20 Adult Fiction Books
Read 10 Nonfiction Books
Finish 20 series
Read 80 books off of my shelves
Read 25 books off of my Kindle
Read 200 books total for the year
I think these are pretty good goals, and pretty similar to last years. I cut down the number of series I want to finish, though, and added the Kindle books. Kindle Unlimited books won't count for this goal, I want to read books I've bought and had on my Kindle awhile!
