2015 Goodreads Challenge

This is my third year participating in the Goodreads Reading Challenge. The aim is to read a chosen number of books over 12 consecutive months. Last year I set a realistic goal for myself: to read one book per week, for a total of 52 books. I DOUBLED my goal and read 104!! Yes, I did a happy dance.

Even though I pushed myself last year, I am setting my goal at 70 books for 2015.
