Here are all the books I’ve read this year. Last year I signed up for a couple of challenges and I (just) managed to complete them all. This year all I want to do is make a considerable dent in my TBR. I have a lot of unread books on my shelves, over 90 in fact and I’d really like to get that down to about 50 and to end 2016 on less books than I started with. I’ve set myself the target of reviewing 30 books, as I know I don’t review every single thing I read and I have been going through a bit of a reading slump at the end of 2015. Fingers crossed I review all I want to review and I make a big dent in my TBR!

I’ve signed up for a couple of reading challenges this year. Once again I’ve signed up for The Mad Reviewer Reading and Reviewing Challenge where I’m a Slightly Sane Reviewer, so I have to read and review 26 books throughout 2016. I’ve also decided to do the Bookish Bingo hosted by The Geeky Girl which has 35 different categories you can read a book for to fill a bingo card. This should help me read out of my comfort zone a bit more and I’m sure many of the books on my TBR can fill these challenges.
