Danielle's 2014 Reading Challenge

[Danielle]

Hello everyone! My name is Danielle and I'm hoping to meet my goal of 30 books in 2014. As a college student it's been a struggle reading for leisure, I would often start a book and not finish them when assignments came up.
I also used to typically read books rather slowly, but my reading speed has increased these past few years. So when the new year came, I knew I wanted to be more ambitious with finding time to read books I've had on my list for quite some time. Including: The Book Thief, the Hunger Games series, the Twilight series, and several classics and new releases. So join me in my quest to get through my stacks of books! I'm looking forward to joining the rest of you in your journey.

My first book of the year was .

I'm currently a little more than halfway through Admission by Jean Hanff Korelitz. I'm enjoying it so far and hope to be finished with it this weekend.

So this month has been a bit of a challenge to read as quickly as I would like with school and all that jazz. I did finish two books and . I really enjoyed them both, very different from each other.

I started the Perks of Being a Wallflower yesterday, and plan to finish over the weekend since it's a short read. Honestly I've never read so many books within such a short period of time, so this is definitely motivating me to read even more in the future!

In March, I plan to read The Fault in Our Stars, The Book Thief, and I'm listening to the audiobook for We Are Water by Wally Lamb. I may be able to get to Oliver Twist, since I do want to read a a classic each month. We'll see!

Hope you are all enjoying your reading challenge, because I am sure enjoying mine!
