2015 Bookish Goals Update

Back in December I wrote a blog post on my 2015 bookish goals.  I was so excited and I was thinking to myself I could do those goals no problem.   RIGHHHTTT!!!!   So far it hasn't been going as well as I expected .

 I was going to put my GoodReads goal for 2015 at 175 books to read but instead for some reason I only put it at 170.  I have no clue why but I did.  I am doing ok in this goal.  As I am writing this , I have read 91 books of 170 so far this year.  Not so bad but I am not doing as well as last year but we have had a lot of company stay over this year so I haven't been reading as much as I thought I would.

 Read more books from my TBR pile.  Well, I did read more of them but most were books on my Kindle.  I do plan on reading more of my physical books.  So far from my Kindle books and my physical books I have read 18 books in total. 

 I was planning on doing a TBR pile of shame post but so far I haven't had the chance to do that because I have so many books on my bookshelves that I have not yet read and I believe it would be a pain to do since I have over 130 physical books and thousands of ebooks in my TBR pile. I do have a few special posts ideas I want to do in the future so keep an eye on those. 

 I wanted to read more classics.  So far that hasn't happened. I do have a few on my Kindle and hopefully I will have the chance to read one or two in the next few months but I don't have my hopes up because I do have many books to read and review for the next 4 months.

 I have been doing book hauls most months. 

 My last goal was not to buy so many physical books. I have bought quite a few this year but not as many as last year so I am doing good with that. Plus I have given away over 30 books this year so I have more room on my bookshelves.

 Did you make bookish goals for yourself for 2015?  If so are they going well?

My Favorite Cowboy by Donna Grant #Review

Image
*I received an eARC of this for my honest review*  Audrey Martinez is a veterinarian who has devoted her whole life to the care and protection of horses―even if doing so leaves her little time for meeting a man. Who would have thought that a strange case of criminal horseplay would lead her to falling deeply, wildly in love? If only the man who makes her heart race faster than a wild mustang would let his guard down, that is. . . Caleb Harper is no ordinary cowboy. Sure, he wears his hat, boots, and jeans like a second skin, and displays an easygoing charm that comes from years of working on the ranch. But with his military background, and Army buddies at his side, he is tried-and-true Texas tough. Audrey knows she can trust a man like Caleb to help her save horses. But can Caleb trust himself to resist his attraction to Audrey―or will the sparks of their desire end up getting them burned?   MY THOUGHT I read this as soon as I received the eARC last year because ev...

Owning Violet (The Fowler Sisters #1) by Monica Murphy Review And Giveaway

Image
*I received a copy of this book for my honest review* I’ve moved through life doing what’s expected of me. I’m the middle daughter, the dutiful daughter. The one who braved a vicious attack and survived. The one who devoted herself to her family’s business empire. The one who met an ambitious man and fell in love. We were going to run Fleur Cosmetics together, Zachary and I. Until he got a promotion and left me in the dust. Maybe it’s for the best, between his disloyalty and his wandering eye. But another man was waiting for me. Wanting me. He too has an overwhelming thirst for success, just like Zachary—perhaps even more so. He’s also ruthless. And mysterious. I know nothing about Ryder McKay beyond that he makes me feel things I’ve never felt before. One stolen moment, a kiss, a touch . . . and I’m hooked. Ryder’s like a powerful drug, and I’m an addict who doesn’t want to be cured. He tells me his intentions aren’t pure, and I believe him. For once, I don’t care. I’m willing...

FRAGILE SANCTUARY by Catherine Cowles (Sneak Peak)

  💙 FRAGILE SANCTUARY SNEAK PEEK 💙 USA Today bestseller, Catherine Cowles, has a sneak peek for the first book in the Sparrow Falls Series, Fragile Sanctuary, coming May 16th!   “What?” “Nothing,” I clipped. “You need to go inside and eat. Think you can stay upright long enough to do that?” Instead of being annoyed with me, Rhodes just smiled. It was far too wide for the situation. “What are you doing?”   “You like me.”   My whole body stiffened. “I do not.”   Rhodes’ smile only widened more, making the gold in her eyes spark and swirl. “Do, too.”   “What are you, five?” I snapped.   She laughed, and the sound hit me somewhere in the vicinity of my chest, digging in and spreading through me. That pins-and-needles sensation you got when a numb limb finally regained feeling. I fucking hated it.   “Anson.” Her tongue wrapped around my name in a languid stroke. “If you hated me, you would’ve left me alone in my panic attack. You would’ve ignored th...
