Jenny's Challenges 2015
Thanks Heidi! Some of those series are quite large above, either in number or the size of the books! I'll need all the luck I can get!
So far I've read 2 adult books, I'm on my 3rd. Read 1 nonfiction. Still have all those series to finish!! I do have to say, the nonfiction book was a bit of a cheat, as its mostly pictures, although it was a LARGE book. I did actually read the text part, too though LOL!
That is way better than I have been doing on my challenges Jenny! A book is a book Jenny no matter if it has a lot of pictures :)
Another adult book down! Finished
and I loved it!Also picked up my next nonfiction book from the library:
!!Started my reread of
so I can finish this series this year! Almost done with the first book :)
Slowly making progress on my goals! Finished another nonfiction book, and finished the Shatter Me series!
Still plugging away! I've read 5 Adult books (pretty behind on that goal) and 4 nonfiction books (not doing too bad there)
Updated my post above! Read a few more series books, and a few more adult reads! Up to 7 adult books read this year, WOOT!
Oh and I'm up to 102 books read so far this year! I upped my goal to 150, but I'm hoping I can make 200! YAY!
Just finished my 8th adult book
and I really liked this one. A bit of history of India that I did not know much about!
Thanks Heidi!Right now reading another adult book, Minervawhich I'm really enjoying! Another Jane Austenish type of spoof silly book!
Ooooo oooooo oooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love love love Marion Chesney's regency romances!!!!! Can you tell I am excited you are reading it? Marion Chesney is actually MC Beaton who writes the cozy mystery series Hamish McBeth and Agatha Raisin. I love the Agatha series.
Cool! I just came across her books on KU, thought I'd try it. Looked like fun reads. I finished Minerva, it was really fun!
Whoa that's amazing Jenny! :D that's more books than I've read in like the last three years combined, omg
Updated post above. I finished another series (Shadow and Bone) and added an adult read! Up to 10 adult reads. I am lagging on that goal, but I'm really going to try to make it!
Holy Moses! That is a lot of books for it just being Sept. I am jealous. My reading this year has been abysmal.

I'm not always great with challenges, its kind of like New Years resolutions for me. But I thought I'd give this a try!
I'm going to set my Goodreads challenge at 100 books this year. I normally read way more than that, but this year I read less than half of what I did in 2013. I figured I can always up my goal. I hated seeing my challenge behind the whole year!
I want to read
20 Adult books
10 Nonfiction books
The rest will be whatever I want. I used to read way more adult books and nonfiction, and I haven't lately, so I need to correct that :)
Other than that, I have a lot of series I want to finish this year! Most of them I only have one book left, but I'm going to have to reread the whole series first!
