Yearly Reading Challenges -- 2018

The past couple of years (2016 and 2017) I have set a lot of reading goals/challenges and was not able to complete many of them.  This year I am going to be a bit more laid back and chill.

Personal Goals

• Finish listening to all the Harry Potter books on audio. (Finished book 6 as of June 2018).
• Tackle my back-list of books on my TBR pile (this includes books I have had since I first started blogging in April 2015).
  • The Vicar's Daughter by Josi S. Kilpack (May 2018)
• Re-read/listen to 5 of my favorite books.
• Read at least 2 books that do not require a review.
  • Beauty and the Clockwork Beast by Nancy Campell Allen
  • Harry Potter and the Order of the Phionix by J.K. Rowling
• Read 3 books by 3 new authors. (This does not mean I haven't heard of them before.  This means I have never read any of their books before.)​
