Happy Friday friends–are you all ready for the weekend?? I know I am! It looks like the big Winter storm may not hit us as hard as they were initially anticipating, which I am VERY excited about!! So, as I was reading last night before bed, I realized I never recapped the book challenge I did last year so, let’s talk about books today!
So, in the beginning of last year, I talked a bit about the 2015 Popsugar Reading Challenge and how a group of us were participating. You all know how much I LOVE to read (and listen to audiobooks–you know, 3+ hour commute and all.) Well, I recently received my Goodread’s summary (where I track everything I read) of my year in books for 2015 and I ended up reading 116 books (I am a fast reader, and when I get into a book, I will literally devour it, sometimes in just one sitting/day.) I am seriously loving all the info-graphics companies sent out that synthesized our activities for the year.
While I didn’t hit every category in the 2015 challenge (which had 50 book categories,) there were many times that I read so far out of my normal comfort zone and I was really proud of myself. These challenges are a fun incentive to diversify my reading and I was pleasantly surprised that I found some books I would never have normally picked up, that I ended up loving! And…I read 116 books–given the year I had at work, I cannot believe it myself.
With that, I am going to do the 2016 challenge as well.
