Patience's Reading Challenge

[Patience]

Hi i haven't really been that active on goodreads since i joined and decided to join this group as a way to immerse myself. I will be doing the 2015 reading challenge even though its halfway through the year and I'm about 21 or so books behind. I love this challenge as i feel it is a way for me to broaden my horizons and get out my book comfort zone as i have recently noticed i am increasingly reading more of the same genres, plot lines etc and i want to go back to the good old days where i would read the first thing i picked up instead of being so picky. I have checked the list and some of the topics i have fulfilled this year but i have decided to ignore all books read till this moment and start a fresh. Anyway wish me luck. Also i love the list it is so grats on whoever thought it up and i will also not be following the one book a week thing as i am a lot behind. Last but not least my initials are P.N.M and for the life of me i cant find an author with the same initials so any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome :)

For the author with your initials, it will be (a little) easier to pick just 2 of them. I suppose PM could be ok. I don't know about him, but his ratings are ok, so try to check some of his titles: Paul Magrs (Lost on Mars seems nice). You can search for other authors here: http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/m/

You have lots of great books on your list, I'm sure you'll have fun while reading them :)
