2025 Reading Challenge discussion

I'm new here, but an avid reader. Or I was. For about five years I stopped reading for the most part due to life, school and work. I decided at one point last year that I was going to read more. And my main goal for 2015 is just that. So in the spirit I joined a few challenges.


My challenges for 2015 are...

• Read 60 books for the entire year.
12 of these will be children's books I haven't read before.

• Finishing the Series Reading Challenge (2015)
Level 4 (Expert series reader) - Complete 4 or more series.

I managed to read a grand total of twelve books in January. This surpasses anything I thought possible. My goal was 4-6 books a month when I started this back in December. I have already read five books this month, a couple have been short stories, but none the less, this is impressive for me. Now I'm off to read. Happy February!!!
