2015 Reading Challenge!

If you've been reading my blog from the beginning, then you know that I'm the type of person who is reading about 10 different books at a time. Last year I found 14 books on my bookshelves that I had started but never finished. Ridiculous. 

So this year, I found this really great reading challenge on Pinterest.  I think it has about 50 different types of books to read on it, which is totally unrealistic with as busy as my life is...but I figured I'd give it a go and see how far I can get. So far I've crossed off two categories from the list:


*A Trilogy*
For this category I read The Hunger Games. I could seriously not put them down. I was staying up until 3:00 in the morning to read...I finished the trilogy in less than 3 days. So. Good.  I would say I'm a little obsessed with this series. I've the movies a bunch of times, but the book is ALWAYS better than the movie, so now that I'm talking about how much I like this series, I want to read the books again. Yeah. Just slightly obsessed. 

*A Memoir*
My sister had given me a book called Shattered Dreams which is a memoir of a woman who spent a large portion of her life as the wife of a polygamist. Let me tell you, I was so enraptured by her story that this is another book that I just could not put down.  It was so intriguing, so hard to comprehend everything she went through starting at a very young age, so compelling. Spoiler alert: her story has a happy ending!


Stay tuned for more little book review type posts as I continue to cross things off the reading challenge list!

Happy reading,
