2018 Reading Challenge

* * Post contains affiliate links. * *

I'm late putting this up, but that hasn't stopped me from working on my challenges! ;) 

Once again I'm working on five different challenges. They help keep me focused and help me read some books that have been sitting on my shelves or reader for a while.

Here's what I hope to accomplish this year:

My favorite and easiest challenge to do is the Goodreads Reading Challenge! You can watch my progress on the widget on my sidebar. --->

Review Challenge

Last, I'm doing a personal challenge. I've been so bad about writing reviews that now I'm kinda terrified to put one out there! Just for me to sit down and write one is a struggle. I only reviewed 4 books last year, so this year I would like to review at least 8. I'm putting it out there, so hopefully, this will be the kick-start I need!  Wish me luck! 

Books reviewed:

Sunset Clause by J.W. Becton - linked to my review
Sadie by Courtney Summers - linked to my review
Chance and Circumstance by Kara Louise - linked to my review
Summer of Scandal by Syrie James - link to my review
Unwrapping Mr. Darcy by L.L. Diamond - linked to my review

Total: 5/8 books reviewed - I didn't make my goal, but I did one more review than last year. :)
