Reading challenge

Last year on Goodreads, I participated in the reading challenge for the first time. My goal was fifty books and I managed to surpass that. I’ve increased the number of books to sixty this year, partly because I’m pretty sure I started well into the year and succeeded so assume I should be able to add a few more books without too much trouble.

This year I’m extending my challenge to writing a book review for each one I finish. I’ve recently been doing my best to write up a review of each book as I go so I think it’s something I can complete if I stick to it. I’m planning on posting reviews here for the moment but may well set up a separate page for books before long.

I’ve been reading all sorts of books lately but have a soft spot for the young adult genre, be it teen romance or fantasy. I’ve thought this before but I think this may have a lot to do with the fact the young adult genre wasn’t around when I was growing up. I feel a bit deprived really. But until the last few years I felt so far removed from that time of life that I didn’t give too many books a chance.

I do have some regular posts coming up, including one about a rather big connection made very recently through one of the DNA sites.
