As you can see I might change it a bit (listen you guys, my local library just suck, it’s not my fault).
I also scaled back my goodreads challenge, because while I did read the 75 books I pledged, the challenge made me prioritise short books too much so I’m back at 65.

I was waiting for almost Christmas to read the last one. Almost half of the fun for me was to find books that fit the challenge (even if there was a few annoying categories) and toward the end of the year I started to want to read anything but what was left on my list :/ So fifty books is probably a bit much for me, even though most categories weren't very hard.
I don't think I'll do the 2016 challenge, but it's there if you want to check it out. I might do this one? Or a
bingo_livres card? I don't know. - Current Mood:

Completed: 32 / 50So my computer overheats very easily which means I don't keep it on all day, which means I've finished ten books in june (not all of them for the challenge). I also spend a lot of time lying in the dark listening to podcasts.
I didn't write even short reviews though, oops.

Completed: 25 / 50 (half way there!)Right, so now that I can’t just shove any books I want to read into a category, it’s becoming a bit of a challenge to find a book that fit a category and my reading mood at the same time.
I would like to thank the “a book your mom loves” category for reminding me this book had a sequel out recently when I needed a Mother’s Day present.

Completed: 21 / 50So I was reading Anne of Green Gables for “a book from your childhood” and then it made me cry? Which I didn’t expect because I’ve read this book a bunch of time, I knew what happened and didn’t remember crying in the past. So I read Anne of Avonlea for my childhood book instead. This challenge is going to be surprisingly Montgomery heavy (I could probably fit two more books of hers but I won’t, because come on) (but I’ve still started to re-read Anne of the Island even if it’s not for the challenge) (I also have two trilogies to finish and those books won't count for the challenge either so that's not ideal)
Still looking for recommendations for a writer whose initials are S.Q. (stupid French spelling of a Breton name making my life complicated) in case something comes to mind?
