Here are all the books I’ve read this year. After reading (and reviewing) far more books than I expected to last year I’ve set myself some goals. I want to read and review at least 50 books and I want to read more diversely. To give myself a bit of a push I’ve signed up for a couple of challenges. Wormhole’s The What’s in a Name challenge and BookdOut’s The Eclectic Reader challenge. Since I was planning on reading and reviewing 50 books, I thought I might as well add two more to that challenge and sign up for The Mad Reviewer Reading and Reviewing Challenge where I’m a Crazy Reviewer, so I have to read and review 52 books throughout 2015.
