2017 Reading Goal Update

Last year I wrote my reading goal for this year and I have to say I didn't do as well as I expected. I wanted to catch up on some of the series I own but mainly wanted to try to get up on the Sherrilyn Kenyon books that I own.  I had 10 that I hadn't read yet and unfortunately, I only read 5. I wanted to read  Written  In My Own Heart Blood (book 8 in the Outlander series) by Diana Gabaldon. I ended up not reading it this year because I decided to wait until closer to the release date of the 9th book in the series (whenever that will be).  I wanted to buy fewer books this year and I have bought 24 books this year but most of them were ebooks.  I think I bought less this year than I did last year.  My goal was to read 150 books and I have to say that I read 258 books this year. And I have read more of my own personal TBR pile this year.

Twisted (Steel Brothers Saga #8) by Helen Hardt

* I received a eARC of this for my honest review* Ryan Steel, his world recently upended by an earth-shattering secret, now faces yet another potential revelation surrounding the Steel family mystery. He no longer fully trusts his siblings or the woman he loves. He’s alone—alone and terrified and immersed in a conundrum that becomes more twisted each day.  Ruby Lee loves Ryan and desperately wants to help him. She’ll do whatever she must to see him through this troubling time, but her own shrouded past still haunts her, and she’s determined to put an end to both of their mysteries once and for all. But the more she uncovers, the more danger she’s in…and she may lose Ryan forever. MY THOUGHTS Helen Hardt is a new to me author and I admit I have not read thhe previous books in the Steel Brother's saga but after reading Twisted I will be getting my hands on the previous books because I was hooked from the very beginning of this book.  I absolutely love the chemistry be

Since I have a lot of books that I need/want to read I decided to take part in Bout of Books 21.  I don't really have any goals since I always seem to fail when I pick books ahead of time so I will just be picking whatever I feel like reading at the time.  I would like to have at least read 3 books during the week of this readathon. It is do-able for me and it won't put too much pressure on me. Here is more about this read-a-thon: The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 8th and runs through Sunday, January 14th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure.
