It's the first Monday in August and I'm a little bit shocked to discover how far through the year we are. Which led me to thinking about how my reading challenge was going. I've never had one for myself before. My housemate and fellow reader EG had a competition a few years ago as to who could read the most and I failed dramatically. Every Christmas we compete to see who can read the most over the holidays but really I don't stand a chance - EG is in a league of her own.
So this year I decided to tackle my very own challenge - to read one book a week, so 52 books in total. And for your delectation and delight I have decided to let you in on where I'm up to with that. A couple of weeks ago I listed what I had read so far this year, but often with this blog what appears on here is a long way behind what I am actually reading. With this list there will be some duplication of the previous list, but as I have a list of books to review as long as my arm there will be some previews of what is coming up later this year. The other thing to mention is that I don't review everything that I read, so if there is a title on this list that you would like to hear my thoughts about comment below and let me know.
