Welcome to The Reading Corner
Thursday, January 08, 2015
For as long as I can remember, I've been a bit of a bookworm. I love to read but I always run out of time to do so, especially in the winter when I find myself getting obsessed with TV series instead. Therefore, back when the New Year was looming and the ever-important resolutions were being formed, I made myself commit to a resolution of reading at least 30 books during 2015.
Then I found out about Goodreads Book Challenges, which is basically my resolution but on a website with lots of other book lovers doing it. I set myself up with an account, created my 'personal challenge' and away I went! It makes tracking my progress a lot easier. You can also read other peoples' reviews, join discussion boards, add books to different 'shelves' (such as books you've read, ones you want to read etc.) and all that extra stuff that you'd want from the site. It's just great!

With that being said, this post is basically a little heads up that over the next few months, you're going to be seeing quite a few book reviews, including those you see pictured above.
I'm really rather excited about this resolution and if anyone would like to join me on this little challenge, then please do be my guest! It doesn't matter what books you read or when you read them, just so long as you do it and then let me know, as I'd love to know your progress - Millie, I'm already looking at you!

Do you have any book suggestions for me to review this year? Let me know down below and I'll make sure I read them, if I haven't done so already!

Glad I could be of help!! :)
DeleteOoh this is really exciting! You're definitely convincing me to join in - I've read less and less since I started at uni (ironic since I do an English degree!) and I'm in my second year now and really missing it.

Yay! Would be great if you did join in! Haha that is pretty ironic but I know how easily falling out of it can happen :) Should definitely think about getting back in to it, keep me updated? :) xx
DeleteThank you for your comments!
I enjoy reading each and every one of them!
