2015 Goal Updates

Back at the beginning of the year I posted 8 goals that I wanted to accomplish for 2015, and I thought since it's July, which means half of 2015 is over I would update everyone on my reading goals.

Read\complete 75 books 

I have completed a total of 65 books by the end of June, which means I am 10 away from my goal. When I reach my goal, I will increase the amount I want to finish. I would really like to be able to finish 100 books by the end of 2015.

Read at least 15 books from my TBR bookshelf 

I have read nine books off my TBR (To Be Read) shelf. I want to make a dent in my TBR shelf, which has gotten a crazy amount of books on it. I am embarrassed to put the amount I have to read, but let's say that 15 will not make a dent in it.

Finish at least 4 unfinished series 

Now I have finished four series this year, but when I set this goal I wanted to finish four series that I had started and had yet to finish them. I did not have any particular series in mind except "House of Night" Series by PC and Kristin Cast. I have complete two series that I had started: The Caster Chronicles by Kami Garci and Margaret Stohl and Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson. I have not yet touched the last HON book, but I plan to soon.

Give Bloodlines Series by Richelle Mead another chance. I have read the first two and about a quarter of the third book and put it down. 

I have yet to touch this one. I am going to end up beginning the whole series over and starting fresh. I cannot remember really what happened to in any of them.

Read more from different genres besides Young Adult. 

I have blown this goal out of the water. The majority of the books I have completed this year had been non YA novels. I think I have read more Adult novels this year than I did in the past few years combined.

Continue to read Harry Potter Series 

I have not read a Harry Potter book yet.

Read at least one classic 

This is completed. I read "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte back in March. I just do not like most of the classics.

Re-Read some of my favorite novels from when I was younger.

I haven't touched this one yet either. But their is a couple of books that I want to read. One being "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.

I have complete 2 of the 8 goals that I have set for myself. On three of the goals I am over half way to reaching my goal. Then three I have not even given a chance to.

Peaceful and Happy Thoughts,
--Rue.
