2015 - My Year in Books on Goodreads

Wow!  This is so cool .... Goodreads has a visual recap of what you have read over the last year. 

Here is my epic reading journey for 2015 - all 214 books :) 

Reflection on my 2015 goals & ideas for 2016

Well my attempt at reviewing #365PictureBooks in 2015 was an epic fail! With my Goodreads 2015 goal of 150 'chapter' books, study, SLANZA & work I just couldn't keep on top of reading and reviewing a picture book a day. 

With just under a week to go, my 2015 Goodreads goal will also not quite be achieved. Close, but not quite! If I had included my picture books in this quota I would have blown the goal out of the water months ago!  Oh well. Live & learn.  I found that I was rushing to achieve my goal and was not reading in depth or enjoying everything I read. I was reading for the sake of reading, not for enjoyment or to extend my knowledge. 

So my blog goal for the coming year is to post once a month with a recap of what I've been reading, including reviews, summaries and general thoughts on the books. 

And my Goodreads goal is to read 100 books - chapter, picture, non-fiction & professional development - just books.  But books that I am going to savor. Books that I am going to devour. Books that I am going to treasure (and I already have a few of these lined up!). And books that I am going to remember and be able to talk about to anyone that wants to listen.

Bring on another year full of fantastic books, great authors, interesting conversations and amazing reading :)

OK. I added my #365PictureBooks. I was right ... It blasted my goal of 150 books out of the water!  142 chapter books + my 72 #365PoctureBooks = 214 total books read. And that is not including all the other picture books I have read this year for school and not kept track of!  #awesome #overachiever
