June 25th 2015 - 2015 reading challenge up date
Back on 9th January 2015 I posted a pin about a reading challenge for the year. A few of the books I had initially put on the list have been altered to a different book that fits the category. There were 50 books on the list (52 if you count the other 2 from the trilogy), I have 23 so far (and that is including the extra 2 of the trilogy).
There is 1 I wont be reading on the list and that is something that scares you as I don't do scary!! Despite only having read 23 off the list I have read 29books in total this year - some proper paper books others on the kindle.
I do plan to try and read more off the list the problem is that I need to buy them as kindle or books

March 14th 2015 - 3 more books from list
March 14th 2015 - 2 more books from list
Back on 9th January I made a post about the 2015 reading challenge. This morning I have added 3 more books to the list of completed books, giving me a total now of 6/50 read. I have read more than this so far this year but not all have been on the challenge list.
The 3 that I read this morning are Bulgy from Thomas the Tank from the category of "non-human characters" and Monster stories for under fives from the category of "book with a number in title" and the 3rd book was the dinosaur that pooped a lot from the category "funny". All of these were read to my lil man, who like his Mum loves books and reading. He's happy cos some of his on his shelf he can actually read on his own now.
We try and read at least 1 book or story a day, usually at bedtime, but occasionally like today, he will come down with a book and ask if we can read it. The 3rd of today's he came back from town with as he went and used he book day token.
As its a dry day and the sun is shining I think I'm going to go out and do some of the garden, and I know lil man wants to plant his carrot seeds in his planter.

February 22nd 2015 - Trilogy of books finished
February 22nd 2015 - Trilogy of books finished
Today I have finished reading Keri Arthur's Circle Trilogy of books, Circle of Fire, Circle of Death and Circle of Desire. These are being classed towards the 2015 reading challenge I posted about back in January.
Although the books are classed as a trilogy they are not all part of the same story which is what I thought they would be and why I was eager to read them all one after the other. They do have links to same magic circle but they do not have the same people in.
I enjoyed reading the three books as they are magic/paranormal based. But they didn't seem very different to other books of this genre, and nothing that really stands out. They are well written though and interesting.

January 9th 2015 - 2015 reading challenge
JANUARY 9th 2015 - 2015 reading challenge
I have downloaded and printed out the 2015 reading challenge, I think this could be quite a challenge for some of the 50 books on the list as they are not what I normally like to read.
I have gone through the list and made a note of books that I have on my shelves (but not read) and also through the net for ideas like the book published in 2015 and an author under 30yrs old etc. I will update and cross out books when I have read them.
The reading challenge can be found here.
the reading list so far - the blue are the planned books
