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?

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...

  đź’™ FRAGILE SANCTUARY SNEAK PEEK đź’™ 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...
