Reading Challenge.

Each year I make a new GoodReads reading challenge. A reading challenge, is basically at the beginning of every year you pick how many books you would like to complete before the year is up. Most years I achieve my goal, and to be honest, my goal is to finish more than I had planned on finishing. This year however isn't looking so wonderful, but I'm going to cut myself some slack because more than a few tragedies have happened this year, making it difficult to make time to read, let alone have the mental clarity to read. In any case I'm going to go through the books I've completed so far this year, along with all those completed last year and the year before. Here goes...

                                                           Reading Challenge 2015 - 8 books

Those last two in the 2017 challenge are indeed children's books that I read and finished in less than five minutes. Normally I wouldn't put those into my reading list for the challenge, but this year I'm slacking with the finishing of the reading and need some help!
