half way through my 52 selections!

I thought I'd join the trend of doing a mid-year update. My goal is to read 100.

47 books read so far in 2015

29/52 completed in this challenge

12/50 completed in my A-Z title challenge*

6/48 completed in my A-Z author challenge*

*these are just challenges I made up for myself to get through my TBR list. It's a great way to narrow done what I'll read next since my TBR list is LONG!

Making our own challenges is helpful to decrease a little the TBR list :)

Finished!

Congrats! :)

Congratulations!
