A new year, means a new reading goal!

Last year I surpassed my 2020 reading goal of 50 books with flying colours & completed 67 books, you can see my reading update & book list here.

This year, I decided to up my goal slightly, since I knew I would be busier than normal. My goal for 2021 is to read 55 books, and I am off to a decent start already, which I can’t lie feels great. I did have a little bit of time off between jobs which was great because I was all alone up north for a few days, so I got some reading done.

So with January coming to an end, here is my first Reading Recap of 2021:

2021 Reading Challenge
– 5/55

Currently Reading:
Roomies by Christina Lauren

Completed in January:

• Hidden Valley Road by Robert Kolker
• The Return by Nicholas Sparks 
• Troubles In Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand
• Rocky Mountain Freedom by Vivian Arend
• In Five Years by Rebecca Serle

My Thoughts:

• Hidden Valley Road: THIS BOOK IS MESSED UP! It’s a biography and honestly it was just like mind blowing and hard to read at times. But wow, is all I could say.
• The Return: Nicholas Sparks long awaited new book, definitely did not disappoint. If you are new here, he is literally one of my favourite authors & I will go out of my way to read his books! This one had a little more emotions wrapped in then normal, which I didn’t know was possible. But overall, I liked it!
• Troubles In Paradise: Finally got around to reading the 3rd book in Elin Hilderbrands ‘Paradise’ series & again, did not disappoint. I literally read this book in under 36 hours, I could not put it down once I got reading. I am seriously hoping for another book in the series just because it takes place in the Caribbean which changed it up!
• In Five Years: So WOW. I have been waiting for this book from the library for a while now, and my goodness. It literally made me feel all the feels & just was such a good read overall.
