Mary-Ann Smith (marysorangebookcorner) | 182 comments Since having my little boy in May I have really slowed down with my reading. So I'm readjusting my expectations and setting a more realistic goal this year.

I am also counting books I read to my son towards my challenge, however they only count once, no matter how many times I read them.

16/50

11. Bared to You

So I am doing really well so far, have been able to get some serious reading time whilst my little boy naps (on me during the day). Really enjoyed Autumn Rose, not quite as much as dinner with a vampire but I would still continue to read the series as and when they get released.

Bared to You was a really good read, easy and such a guilty pleasure. I could 100% see the similarities to 50 Shades of Grey, some were glaringly obvious. However, I think I prefer Sylvia Day's style of writing. It feels a lot less repetitive and cringe-worthy. Currently reading the sequel, so i think that says how much I enjoyed it!

Mary-Ann Smith (marysorangebookcorner) | 182 comments 12. Reflected in You
13. Entwined with You

Such a guilty pleasure series of books. Definitely not high literature but really easy to pick up and put down when I'm busy doing other things.

15. One with You
16. It's a Little Baby

Enjoyed reading this series and they have all been super quick and easy to read. Probably would have liked a few more loose ends tied up with the last book, feels like its been left with something still to tell if the author ever fancies carrying on (even though its officially finished).
And another nice new read for the small one. He loved the flip down parts of the book.
