Brittany's 2020 Reading Challenge

[Brittany]

I'm sure it will be fab :)
I still plan on waiting til there's at least 2 out before I start. See if I give in before that though

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

That’s fair. I’ll probably be re-reading for book 2 anyway so night buddy read with you.

[Brittany]

1 4 star read this month and 7 3 star reads. A pretty average month, enjoyable but nothing amazing.

[Brittany]

Mount tbr decreased because I changed my shelves around and added a freebies unread shelf that I am slowly adding all my free kindle books to so this lowered my regular tbr. Went from 919 to 838

390 freebies added

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Oooh that's a smart idea to split up your freebies!

[Brittany]

Yeah I think it will help me find things better..... at least in theory

[Anna]

That’s a great idea, Britt. I love reorganizing/recategorizing my GR shelves. I included DNF and Maybe shelved so they don’t get mixed up with my To-Read shelf.

[Brittany]

I finished on audio and am almost done a bunch of other books.

Will update everything else another day... or week...

[Brittany]

Finished fantastic end to that series. Glad I finally read it! I finally finished a series!! And a book over 500 pages! Woo!!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Hurray for your first finished series! Big books are always intimidating to me, so I always feel accomplished when I finish a big book like that 😂

[Brittany]

Me too Lili, I love them 'cause they have so much more story but they are so intimidating to start.

[Brittany]

I read cute, great artwork but not original at all.

[Sonnie]

Ohhh I LOVED A Court of Thorns and Roses so much more than Throne of Glass! And that's one series that just gets better and better with each book. I saw your review and I loved Lucien too. He was my favorite <3

I need to reorganize my GR shelves too. Idk when I'll have the time though because I feel like it will take FOREVER lol. It's so daunting.

[Brittany]

I do my reorganizing in little bits. Ill start and then come back and continue days later. Otherwise, ya, way too daunting.

Good to hear you loved it Sonnie.

[Brittany]

On a nonbookish note, I've gone back to doing yoga and going to try and complete one of these 30 day yoga challenges. Finished day 2 today and so far its feeling pretty wonderful.

[Sonnie]

That's cool Britt! What is your challenge from? I want to try Yoga, but I need like a VERY BEGINNER video/ class lol. All it's done is rain here so I'm not able to get out and walk to do any exercise and it is showing lol.

[Brittany]

Doing it with Yoga with Adrienne. Love her stuff.
Try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7AYK... or any of her other beginner videos.

[Anna]

I wear yoga pants all the time but have never actually tried doing yoga. I really should give it a try too!
I’ve started to read Court of Roses twice (got about 1/3 of the way) but can’t seem to get through it. :( I’ll try it one more time this year!

[Brittany]

Its got some real slow parts Anna, the narrator is decent though!

Try it out. Love my yoga! I also do wine yoga occasionally with one of my friends.

[Sonnie]

Um, I just want to say Wine Yoga sounds amazing! I've heard of Goat Yoga too and I want to do that! It sounds like so much fun!
And thanks Britt! I'll give it a try!

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

That’s great Britt. I’ve started running again and on Monday was my first boxercise class and it was so much fun.

Anna, I can totally understand the not getting through ACOTAR. I personally adored that series but book 2 is what makes the series and often if you get through book 1 you’ll love it. It’s a shame you need to push through it to get to the amazing parts though.

[Brittany]

Woo! Awesome on the running Kay! Ooo boxercise sounds like fun also.

Let me know how you find it Sonnie! And yes, wine yoga is fabulous. I want to go do goat yoga, or alpaca yoga or anything with fuzzy friends really.

[Sonnie]

Ohh Kay that sounds like so much fun! I wish we had a gym close by me with classes like that!

[Anna]

I’m gonna give another try this year, Kay! Especially since it’s supposed to get better.
Have fun with your yoga & wine, Britt!

[Brittany]

I finished and started

So I am still starting far too many series, at least this one is only a dualogy!

[Sonnie]

Ohhh Kat and Bones!!! I LOVE those books so much!

[Brittany]

I keep reading 1 and then stopping for like a year. I couldnt find a used copy of book 4 so I have it from the library. I do enjoy them when I read them though!

[Brittany]

And I finally finally finally finished

I only finished 5 books in February, no 5 star reads still. Best book of the month is tied between Bitterblue and Court of Thorns and Roses


Here's to a better March!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

5 books is pretty great! When I'm in a really bad reading slump sometimes I only get one book read 😬 But yes, I hope you have a better March! 😊

[Brittany]

4 of those were books I started the month part way through and the 5th was a comic. But yeah, I have had worse reading months too.
Thanks!! It has to go up from here, both reading and life in general!

[Brittany]

I had a gift card to a book store for my bday and a bit of time to kill before a movie. Im impressed I only walked out with these three

[bookcover:Chaos Chore..."

I just read A Curse so Dark and Lonely, I think it really good i hope you enjoy it

[Sonnie]

Congrats on finishing 1984 Britt! I wouldn't have been able to finish even one book if I was reading that for the month lol. I just couldn't get into it.

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

I adored A Curse So Dark and Lonely

[Brittany]

Thanks Sonnie it was an interesting struggle to read!


That is partly why I chose to pick it up Kay! The way you loved it means I likely will too!

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

[Brittany]

Finished nice to be back in this world even if this wasn't my fave book of the series.

[Brittany]

Read it was okay. First one was better

[Anna]

Great job, Britt! You know I can relate on 1984. Since then I’ve been struggling to get back into reading somewhat.
Yay for new books though!

[Brittany]

I'm actually back to reading a decent amount. Yay for night shift!
But yeah 1984.... never again.

[Brittany]

Finished started off good but didn't finish that way. Ah well, was still a nice change of pace.

[Brittany]

Finished good addition to the series! I've been on quite the manga/graphic novel kick this year.

Starting in hardcopy. See if this puts me back down the Sanderson rabbit hole....

[Brittany]

Finished my first 5 star book of the year with . Such a fantastic WWII historical fiction.

[HeatherH]

Did you read or listen to Resistance Women? Curious about narration if you listened!
