I'm Keely and I am from the UK and I recently became a quarter of a century years old. :P
Birthday: 19th December
Favourite Book(s): I don't really have favourites
Favourite Book Genre: I can and will read any genre. I do enjoy Young Adult books and I read a lot of Manga.
Favourite Author: Again, I don't really have a favourite, I will give any author a chance
Favourite Color: Purple
Favourite Food: This is a tough one. I do love a good steak and a homemade bolognase usually goes down a treat
Any Pets: A cat who is currently 15 years old and can be a bit grumpy, but she shows affection to me and spends time with me, so I can let the grumpiness slide
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: If I was going to move away from the UK, I would live in Norway because that is where my boyfriend lives.
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because I want to read way more books than I ever will manage, but I will give it my best shot anyway.

I would be happy to join in with Little Women! I would prefer to start in January or at least towards the end of this month as I already have a couple of books I want to finish before the year ends. :)

On a different note, I am still crossing off books on my list. I just finished my 25th book off the TBR list for this year which was The Diary of a Young Girl. Which makes 5 books above my target. I should hopefully finish 2 more before the year ends. :D

I would so join in with that. I've had Les Mis on Kindle for years (as long as I've had my Kindle) and always think 'maybe next year I'll get around to reading it'. I've always been afraid to join BR's because I read several books at the same time, so I end up taking longer to finish a single book, but if the duration of reading Les Mis is a year then that should definately be doable.
I'm kinda excited now :P


This year I have decided to focus mostly on books that are part of a series. Some will be part of series that I have started, but not yet finished. As some of the books are fairly short and I beat my target of 20 books last year, I am going to aim for at least 25 books. Most of the books have been on my TBR list since 2012 or 2013 so it will help clean up some of my earlier added books.

My 20th book was Fifty Shades of Grey which I know has very mixed opinions and from what I have read, verge more on the negative. However, I somewhat enjoyed it. It wasn't the best literature I have ever read, but I did mostly enjoy it and that is the main thing. I plan to read the next two next year for this challenge (they've been on my TBR list for years).
