2015: A year for Books!

posted by

This year I have been a terrible reader, I am currently reading my second book! This really saddens me so I have decided to make it my goal to read a book every single week during 2015.

I love to read so this shouldn’t be a massive challenge, once I’m reading a good book I am hooked and don’t want to put it down!

Here is a list of some of the books that I intend to read, I own either the paper version or the kindle version of these books already, I love to buy books so I have acquired up quite a collection that I have wanted to read over the past few years… Now I just need to start reading them!

I know there are more than 52 books here and I probably won’t get round to reading more than one per week but I wanted to create a list of all the books that I own that I have yet to read. I am sure I will pick up more when I go shopping too!

If you have any great book recommendations then please leave them in the comments below, I love to hear about new books that I could discover. I will pick up anything and give it a go. I’ve read classics such as ‘The Turn of the Screw’ and ‘Lolita’ but am also happy with a Sophie Kinsella or Sheila O’Flanagan 😉

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you all a VERY HAPPY New Year! xx

    I’ve got about this many still to read as well. 2 years ago I managed to read 52, last year I totally failed, not reading any books from Apr to September. This year I’ve started again, so hopefully I’ll get through some of the books in my pile. The problem is, lots are paperback, which are harder to read in bed, than on my Kindle.

    Good luck with your challenge

    I used to be an avid reader but sadly don’t read anymore. Le sigh.

    You have some great selection of books there, I loved the Harry Potter books!

    Good luck on reaching your goal!

    I am also going to take up reading again; from tomorrow the mobile phone will be placed in the kitchen at 8pm and then I shall read a book instead of spending hours flitting between Facebook & Twitter. I have shelves full of books I have never read & I am going to change this.
    Here’s to reading in 2015
