2014 so far...

Seeing as I haven't posted anything here since the end of 2013, it thought the first thing I needed to share with you was the list of what I have read so far this year! This year I originally set out to complete the 52 Book Challenge, however when I reached the half way point after only a couple of months, I decided to up my goal. So, at the moment my target is to read 100 books in 2014. At the moment I am actually ahead of schedule (Which is fantastic with exams looming which will swallow up over a month of my life) at 38 books read so far. So, with the no further ado, here is my current list (Books in Bold are re-reads):

So there we have it, the books I have read so far this year. Some have been good, some have been bad (coughTHESPECTACULARNOWcough), some have been utterly amazing. I won't be posting reviews for all of them, but there are a few I may share a few thoughts about.

Back from the dead!

So... Hello again. Long time no post...

A lot has happened since I last posted on this blog, mostly school just got in the way. I didn't anticipate how much time A-levels would take up! But, that being said I have been reading more than ever. So far this year I've read 37 books (a list I will post at some point in the near future) and although I've been cataloging them on Goodreads, something just made me want to start actually reviewing books again. When I finish a book, I have this urge to talk about it to anyone and everyone (something that has really been annoying my family and friends this year!) and so why not start back up my blog again. Summer's coming up soon which means I'll have a lot more free time to actually sit down and write reviews, so I thought I'd get back into the swing of things now. I'll hopefully get some posts up soon talking about my year in reading so far and my plans for the rest of the year!
