24in48 This Weekend

I have to work this weekend, but I'm still hoping to read 24 hours.  I'm 7-3 both days, so that should leave me plenty of time.  I'm still working on a connections challenge on Goodreads, and I hope to get close to finishing that.  This is my second time starting it, because for some reason when I put books together to read in a row, I lose interest, and want to read something else.  I'm hoping to complete it this time. There have been a few books I've forced myself to finish due to this challenge. At least it got them off my shelves.

Friday BoutofBooks Update

I can't believe this readathon is over tomorrow. I haven't done too badly, and I did read my goal of a book a day, even though they were short reads. Today, I'm reading The Millionaire and the M.D., and I'm hoping to read at least one more.  Tomorrow, I work until three, so maybe I can fit in a final book or two.  This readathon has really helped me read more. I started a full time job a few months ago, and haven't been reading much. Hopefully, I'll get back into reading this year, now that I'm more used to working so many hours. So far, I'm three books ahead on my Goodreads goal. I only made it 400 this year, but I'm hoping to do more.  We'll see, but I'm not going to push myself  this year.  I made another goal to relax, and only read books I'm enjoying this year.

Happy New Year!

I always look forward to the new year.  I love setting new reading goals. This year, I lowered my Goodreads goal to 400.  I started a full time job a few months ago, and that has seriously impacted my reading.  I read fairly fast, but some days I haven't even picked up a book. I barely finished last years goal, so that's why I cut 2017's in half.  I'm hoping to read more, but I'm just going to relax, and enjoy whatever books I do read.

I did read a short romance today, Mistletoe Daddy by Deb Kastner. It was a cute inspirational romance, and I laughed out loud several times.  I think that is a good start to 2017.
