How I am going on my Book goals for 2014.

At the beginning of the year, I set some goals for myself on what I wanted to read and how many I wanted to read. As you have read, I want to read 25 books for the year. I also wanted to read certain books in 2014. Since the year is half way gone I thought that I would share how I was doing.

As of June 1, 2014, I have read a total of 17 books. I am planning on doing a page tab to list all the books I have read for the year. Today June 6, 2014, I read my 20th book, so I am only 5 books away from finishing my number of books I wanted to read for the year. I should pass that during June. Also another goal I set for myself for the summer is to read 25 books alone, if I pass that goal, I will have read 35 books. I have already read 10 books this summer, and that's in less than one month. I started reading for fun again in mid May when I was finished with my finals.

Here are the following books or series I wanted to finish reading by the end of the year:

• Finish the Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare
• Finish the Delirium Series By Lauren Oliver
• Allegiant By Veronica Roth which would finish Divergent Series
• Finish the eve series by Anna Carey
• Reavealed by PC and Kristin Cast (House of Night Series, this is the next to the last book which comes out sometime in October)
• Harry Potter Series. I know this should have already been read, but in my Welcome post, I explain why I haven't read it.

Now here is an update on how I am doing with these.

• I am currently listening to on Audio Book City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare, which is the next to the last novel in the series. At the beginning of the year, I had only read\listened to City of Bones. I am probably going to end up having to buy City of Heavenly Fire real soon, because I cannot wait for my library to get it on Audio book or in book form.
• I have decided not to finish the Delirium Series. I started listening to the second book, but I couldn't not get into it. Also Delirium, the first book, took me forever to read and forever to get into it. I will futher explain why I will not be finishing this series in another blog post to come soon.
• I did finish Allegiant, and I was disappointed to say the least. I am planning to fully review it in a later post.
• A couple of days ago I finished the Eve triology, and this has probably made it into my top 10 triology\series. I read the last book in the triology in less than 2 hours. I couldn't put it down. I don't think a lot of people liked this one, but I loved it.
• I have not read Revealed yet, but I do plan on purchasing it soon. I own all the other House of Night series. I have to have it read before October when the last book comes out.
• I have not started the Harry Potter Series, yet. I am thinking about listening to it instead of reading it. Like I said in my welcome post, I have seen all the movies, and liked them, so I will probably like to listening to it better than reading it.

Peaceful and Happy thoughts,
