For those of you who have Goodreads, you'll mostly know what the Reading Challenge is. For those of you who don't, the Goodreads Reading Challenge is where you pledge to read so many books each year.
This was my first time doing this and I had been in a really bad reading funk last year, so I pledged to read 50 books that I have never read before. Well, we're in October and I finished!
So I'm going to categorize all my reads into three categories: Loved, Liked, Disliked (if you follow my blog you'll know that I do this for my reads every month), and then my top 5 reads.

And there you have it! My Goodreads Reading Challenge 2018! Are you doing the reading challenge? How's it going? Have you read any of the books that I've listed?
Great job!!! I actually did a goal of 50 books this year as well. I hit that count a few months ago and now I’m trying to get to 100, which probably won’t happen. Unless I cheat and read a bunch of tiny books. :)
ReplyDeleteI can get a taste of what you like to read though, just by looking at the covers.
Fun!! Yeah, I wonder how many more books I'll hit...
Delete*coughs* I just realized how much Historical Fiction there was xDDD
Hey, historical fiction is really fun!! I used to read a LOT of it, but lately I've been looking for good fantasy, since that's what I write mostly.
DeleteCongratulations! And yay, I’m so glad you loved Cinder! I still really need to read the Scorpio Races.....maybe someday! *fingers crossed*
ReplyDeleteCinder was great! AND YOU NEED TO READ THE SCORPIO RACES
