2025 Reading Challenge discussion

After committing to my first ever personal challenge of '30 Books in 2015', I've also decided to tie it in with a Yearly Challenge or two to make it even more fun and interesting.

I'll be updating this little section as I go along - to keep myself on track if nothing else! - as well as the odd book review on Goodreads.

Bring on 2015's Reading Challenges! :)

My Personal Challenge of 30 Books in 2015

As part of a New Year's Resolution to read more, I've decided to set myself the - first ever - challenge of reading 30 books in 2015. I'm excited to give it a try and I'm hoping that being part of this group will motivate me in to completing it, more so than if I was doing it alone!
