I’ve set myself a task of reading 250 books this year
I’ve done the Goodreads challenge every year since I joined as a member in 2011. My stats have been a little up and down since then. By the looks of it, I’m either getting more generous or I’m finding more books that I absolutely LOVE. 😛

Challenge 1 – Divine Magazine Review Challenge
I’ve set myself a task of reading 250 books this year; 100 for review, 50 from my TBR and 50 from my paperback collection, and then 50 random books. The number in brackets is the number of stars I gave the book.
