Kimberly's 2016 Challenge - 85 books

[Kim]

This year, I've set a personal goal to read 85 books. In 2015, I read quite a few more than 85, but this year I'm trying for quality over quantity, as I felt quite rushed and stressed out about reading so much, so quickly in 2015.

Totally understand! I had the same problem my first challenge. I look at reviews and recommendations a lot more now in making my selections. Good luck!

How is your challenge going, Kimberly? Have you read any especially good books?

[Kim]

Thanks for asking, Cassandra! I have been enjoying my usual favorite genres of music and memoirs. I always enjoy reading Augusten Burroughs books. Finally, I had time to read a couple of new classics like Water For Elephants and These is my Words. I enjoyed those quite a bit and recommend them. These is my Words is a good one for people who enjoy Jeanette Walls, The Glass Castle. Participating in the A-Z character challenge and the Every Year Challenge has been quite fun for me. The Listopia feature on Goodreads helps me find the best books for my challenges, too! How are you doing with your challenges?

[Cassandra]

I'm glad to hear that the year is going well and you're having fun. I'm a bit behind on my challenges but I'm still reading some great books. The Way of Kings is one of my new favorites.
