2018 Reading Challenges

Every year I sign up for reading challenges but struggle to remember to keep posts updated, etc. In 2017 my reading time was reduced and I struggled with blog motivation so this year I want to use challenges more as a tool to help me keep some blogging and reading mojo.

This is hosted by the lovely Michelle at Tales of Yesterday again.

Books I’m currently considering reviewing and I already have are as follows:

1. The Exact Opposite of Okay – Laura Steven
2. I Am Thunder – Mohammed Khan
3. Final 7 – Kerry Drewery

I plan to try and review 12 books for this challenge in total. Reviews will updated above.

Mount TBR

This is my first year trying this challenge hosted by My Readers Block though it sounds like just what I need to address my backlog of books.

I’m aiming for Mount Vancouver (36 books) as I have a growing, worryingly large TBR list! I’ll update below with the books I read, plan to read  and any reviews will be linked, though I am not planning to review every book necessarily!
