For someone like me who is an avid reader, 125 books in a year shouldn’t really be a challenge at all.
However, recently I’ve found myself not really reading at all – and this saddens me.
Add to this that within a couple of weeks, I’m going to have my hands full with a little baby and you can begin to see why this is going to be a bit of a challenge for me.
I have seen similar challenges on a few blogs, and a lot of people who’ve given up along the way. Yet I’ve also seen people who smash their target of {insert number here} books easily. So how will I fare?
I’ve given myself some rules regarding this challenge:
-The books must be exactly that – books. No short stories, books of poetry(much as I love them), but novels.
-I can read non-fiction, such as autobiographies, biographies etcetera.
-I can reread books, however I can only reread them once during the duration of this challenge.
-If I do reread, I have to try to make sure that the majority of the books I choose aren’t rereads. I need to be open to new books and new authors.
-I will post a fortnightly/monthly update (undecided yet), letting you all know how I am doing.
So that’s that!
I’m starting with How To Be A Woman by Caitlin Moran..
Here goes!

Congratulations on being a mommy! I know how you feel about the book thing. I have been wanting to read so badly, and just can't seem to get into a book. I think I will try that next year. Try and read something once a month. I don't know 🙂
my target would be more like a book in a 125 years. I need a kindle, as books make my hands to sore to hold them.
good luck with motherhood and the challenge
Thank you for your comments, Vandaleyez and Elaine 🙂
I'm definitely going to try and complete this challenge – worth a go!
Hsve you tried all the Kindle competitions around, Elaine? They may be worth a shot 🙂 xo
