2016 Bookish Goals Update

I have been doing bookish goals now for a few years and I have decided to put an update on how well (or not well) I have done so far this year.  

First goal was to read 150 books and as of today (December 23rd 2016) I have read 196 books. I am currently reading one book and I will not be able to read much during the few days so I think I will have only time to finish the book I am currently reading. 

I wanted to finish Outlander series. Well at the time I had wrote my goal I was at book 5 in the series  and this year I read up to book 7.  There are currently 8 books in the series.  I wanted to read the 8th book but I had so many books to review this year that I didn't have the chance to read it.  Hopefully I will be able to read it in 2017. 

I said I wanted to read The Hobbit by  J.R.R. Tolkien.  I read it back in January.

I wanted to take part in a few read-a-thons.  Well I think I joined 2 but I didn't  do as well as I hoped.  

I was hoping on reading quite a bit of my books that are in my personal physical TBR pile. Well I read 30 of my personal physical books .  More than I have had read in the previous 2 years. 

So I have done pretty well with this year's goals.

Did you make any goals for yourself this year?

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...

Immortal Sun by Rachel Van Dyken (Review)

  I MMORTAL SUN Rachel Van Dyken Release Date: March 24 Available in Kindle Unlimited Discover a brand-new world where demons, vampires, fallen angels, gods, and fae roam the earth in modern day Seattle in a gripping romantasy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken. There isn't a lore that doesn't exist around Mt. Olympus, and nobody is safe from the wrath of the immortals who watch. My only goal: Beat him at his own game. His: Save the world and himself. Thousands of people have disappeared from this world by way of his hand and the universe breathes for only one more drop of blood--mine. He promised he would help me find my brother. He lied. I don't know why I immediately trusted Cyrus. He was stunningly gorgeous, nice, and so accommodating that maybe I felt too safe—maybe that was the first red flag. The second was that he always said my missing twin was fine, that he'd come back when he was done traveling and that I should s...
