It's been a long time since I have blog on here. It's been since the end of January since I blogged and updated you all on my reading. Life just got in the way, and blogging was always on the bottom of my to do list. I have continued to read and listen to audio books.
Today's blog is going to be an update on how many books I have currently read, and an update on the goals I made for 2015. I am not going to list every book I have read since Feb, but I will list the amount I read each month, and any books I want to highlight. Then I will let you know what my goals are for July.
For February, I completed a total of 11 books for the month. To accomplish my goal of completely 75 books for the year, I needed to read a total of 6 or 7 books a month. Now, I did not physically read a book in Feb; I listened to all of them. Most of the books that I listened to in the month of February was from The Hollow Series by Kim Harrison. I did finally complete "If I Stay" By Gayle Forman, which I really enjoyed and gave it 5 out of 5 stars on goodreads. Out of the 11 books I complete only 3 of them were Young Adult novels.
For March, I completed 10 books for the month. Out of the 10, I only physically read one book, which was "Captivated by You" by Sylvia Day. I am currently caught up on the Crossfire series, and waiting the release of the last book. This book I gave 4 out of 5 stars. Day starting telling the story in both Gideon and Eva's point of view, and I typically do not like stories that are told in multiple points of view. Also why did she change it after three books. Another book that I finished in March was "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. I absolutely loved this book, and have started making my way through the series.
April, I was in a reading slump. I only finished two books in April, which both was completed in the beginning. These books were both from the Fallen series by Lauren Kate. I had finished Fallen back in March and continued on in the series.
In May, I picked up my reading. I was able to finished 13 novels, and I physically read two of those. This month I completeled "The Hollows Series" by Kim Harrison. This means I completed the series, which is 13 books long, in four months. This has become a favorite series of mine. Also, I completed the second novel of the Outlander series, "Dragonfly in Amber." I also completed the Castor Chronicles, which I never thought I would after not liking the second novel. I also read and enjoyed the following books, and they received 5 out of 5 stars : "I was Here" by Gayle Forman, "The Bane Chronicles" By Cassandra Clare, Sarah R. Brenna, and Maureen Johnson (Can't wait to "Lady of Midnight comes out, which is to come out sometime next year), "The Heir" by Kiera Cass, which was anticipation of 2015, "Rebel Belle" by Rachel Hawkins, and "We Were Liars" by e. lockhart.
June was a fun month in listening and reading books. I discovered an author that I am really starting to love, Iris Johansen. This month I discovered her Eve Duncan series and her and her husband's, Roy Johansen, Kendra Michael's series. I have for this month been into murder\mystery novels. I completed three Eve Duncan novels and all of the books available from the Kendra Michael's series. I completed a total of 15 novels this month, which I read 4 of those. Some other books besides the Johansen novels that I completed this months and really enjoyed was "The DUFF" by Kody Keplinger, "Dorothy Must Die" by Danielle Paige, "Fairest" by Marissa Meyer, "and "Gameboard of the Gods" by Richelle Mead. I also re-read a few novels this month. Also I completed the third book to the Outlander series, "Voyager."
Goals for July--
1. Read 2500 pages this month. I have been setting page goals the past few months, and it keeps me physically reading instead of listening to books all the time.
2. Physically complete four books.
3. Complete a total of 15 books this month.
Keep Reading,
Peaceful and Happy Thoughts,
--Rue.
