Woof!
I’ve been clearly slacking on booking it, but with the New Year fast
approaching, it’s time to do what all other bloggers around the world do and
look back on the year past and the year to come. It’s time for an end of year
review, y’all!
I
read 57 books this past year!
WOOHOO! Here’s a breakdown:
Non-Fiction: 32
Fiction: 25
Audiobooks: 13
I’m
proud of myself for trying audiobooks for the first time and for trying to
branch out from reading only memoirs and non-fiction (which, to be fair, I did
a lot of). Here are my top ten favorites, in no particular order.
Top 10:
- Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
- Yes Please by Amy Poehler
- Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
- Wild by Cheryl Strayed
- Cinder by Marissa Meyer
- The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg
- Reading in the Wild by Donalyn Miller
- I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai
- Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
- Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom
If you haven't read these yet, go to the library and pick them up! You will not regret it.
Looking
back to my cheesy and overly dramatic first post, my sole goal for 2014 was to
find time to book it a little more than I had the year before. Being able to
read 57 books this year was so awesome!
On
Pinterest and Facebook recently, there have been a lot of reading challenges
going around: “read a book a month” or “read a book a week” or “read a book
more than 500 pages” or “read a book by a female author!” While everyone knows
I love me some goals, let’s not get bogged down in weird details or making
reading a chore more than a pastime. How about this for a challenge to you all:
Make time to read. Read something old and something new. Read a book on your
own and with friends. Enjoy booking it this year.
Happy
2015!
