BIGGEST BOOK HAUL EVER!

I will be the first to say I am weak when it comes to books. I have only read one of the books I hauled last month but I still bought more books and thought I'd share those with you as well a couple of pre-ordered book I'd received. These are all the books that I've bought since Christmas.




DELIRIUM - Lauren Oliver

MEMOIRS OF A TEENAGE AMNESIAC - Gabrielle Zevin


ON THE FENCE - Katie West



SECOND CHANCE SUMMER - Morgan Matson



THESE BROKEN STARS & THIS SHATTERED WORLD - Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner 

FIRECRACKER - David Iserson

SPLINTERED, UNHINGED & ENSNARED - A.G. Howard

NICK & NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST - Rachel Cohn & David Levithan

NO PLACE TO FALL - Jaye Robin Brown


So it's official. I see a book buying ban in my future!

What books have you hauled recently?

2015 READING CHALLENGES

It has come to my attention that there are many different reading challenges about for 2015; Hannah at Broc's Bookcase has written a great post about the many available. Granted, I don't have the time or the reading ability to participate in them all there are a few I do want to participate in. I already spoke about The Re-read Challenge that I've joined, but a couple more I'm going to join are:

The Daily Prophecy
 I recently made a post about how I wanted to read more fairytale retellings this coming year and then I came across this challenge hosted by The Daily Prophecy and thought how perfect it would be to give the challenge a go and finally get reading some fairytale retellings. There are varying levels of reading to aim for, for this challenge and I think I am going to stick to the Magic Mirror goal; that's 5-9 books over the year.


Another challenge I'm participating in this year is Goodread's 2015 reading challenge, in which you can set yourself a goal; in my case I've decided to pick 52 books and your challenge is to meet that goal. I set myself one in April, 2014 of 30 books so this year I aim to read one book a week. All you need to do is join Goodreads and join me on this challenge. 

Are you going to participate in any challenges this year?

Keep an eye out for updates and reviews I'll be doing throughout 2015!
