My 2014 Reading Challenge

Hey Guys!!

I LOVE reading!! A lot and this year I want to read more than I did last year, because I look back to last year and didn't have a lot of time to read at all. There's not a particular genre I like/love as personally if the blurb interests me and draws me in I will read it, though I do like reading classics like Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, etc. I have a thing about classics and also I have a thing about having to read the book before the film.

This year is going to be different I am making myself a goal for the year!! I have seen a lot of this going round at the moment, seeing people want to read more and setting themselves goals of how many books they want to read, and am going to give it a go myself :)

My personal goal is to read 20 books this year. I have started off small as I don't always have a lot of time so will be happy if I get to 20 and even happier if I exceed it. I will share with you my list :)

1. Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins

2. MockingJay - Suzanne Collins

3. Casual Vacancy - J.K.Rowling

4. Go Swift and Fall - Douglas Westcott

5. Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass - Lewis Carroll

6. Great Expectations - Charles Dickens

7. Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte

8. The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky

9. Robinson Crusoe - Daniel Defoe

10. Emma - Jane Austen

11. The Dark Half - Stephen King

12. Monday to Friday Man - Alice Peterson

13. A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens

14. Run, Mummy, Run - Cathy Glass

15. Northern Lights - Philip Pullman

16. The Subtle Knife - Philip Pullman

17. The Amber Spyglass - Philip Pullman

18. The Fault In Our Stars - John Green

19. Paper Towns - John Green

20. War and Peace - Leo Tolstov

So that is my list of 20 books I want to read this year :) as you can see it is a wide range of genres and authors as I don't like to read the same sort of book all the time. Also out of these 20 only 3 I have yet to buy which is not bad at all :)

Have any of you made a reading goal?

What would you recommend?

See You Soon!!



Personal Goals For 2014

 

Hey Guys!!

 

I have been sat here for the past couple of days thinking what do I want to achieve with my life this year and what personal goals I want to complete :) I know there are a lot of goals posts but I do enjoy reading them as it gives me inspiration to achieve my own goals :)

 

I know I already done a post on my goals for the year, which you can read HERE but I ended up thinking of some more :)

 

So here it goes more goals to add to my list :)

 

1. Be Happier & Enjoy Myself I want to be able to be happy within myself as sometimes I have days where I don't want to get out of bed which completely sucks, so I'm going to have positive quotes around the flat and tell myself something positive as I wake up, even if it's as simple as 'Today's Going To Be A Good Day'

 

2. Get Back Into A Sleeping Pattern My plan for this is to be in bed by 10:30pm at the latest and then to be up at 6:30am and that works out to 8 hours sleep, hopefully then I will start feeling more refreshed in the mornings

 

3. Make More Time For Friends This year I have lost friends, but I still have 2 amazing friends that I hardly see as we are either working or we are busy, so I want to make time to just pop to their houses or go out for meals and just generally hang out with each other 

 

4. Have More Date Nights With Llewellyn This is because Llewellyn has 2 jobs so when he gets nights off we tend to want to spend time with each other, so I'd like for us to go for meals, have days out and one thing I want us to do is go for picnics I the summer

 

I'm very determined this year to achieve these goals as I want to make the most of these times as you do only have one life and you have to make the most of it :) cheesy I know :) I also hope this post gives you some inspiration as many of these type posts have given me :)

 

What are your personal goals for this year? 

 

See You Soon!!
