2014 Reading So Far

Hello,

Yesterday I posted a short post explaining that I didn’t think I was going to be able to post daily as much for the next short while. Juggling my day job, my craft business and being a daily blogger along with all the human activities you need to carry out daily, was starting to become very hard for me to find a balance. I will try as much as I can though however to keep up to date with blogging as I can.

 

Today’s post is an update of the reading I have done so far in 2014. At the beginning of the year I set myself a goal for reading 15 books for the entire year, as you can see from the list below I am already 6 through, I am also 50% through my seventh book. I think this goal I set myself seems to be quite low now, last year though however I only read twelve for the year, so in theory I have already read more than half of what I read last year. This does not include the craft books I read either, this goal is purely just for novels.

So here goes my first round up post of the reading I have done so far this year.

Smash cut – Sandra Brown

The Interesting’s – Meg Wolitzer

Orange is the new black – Piper Kerman

Stiff : The curious lives of human cadavers – Mary Roach

The Fault in our stars – John Green

The Perks of being a wallflower – Stephen Chbosky

My top three would have to be the interesting’s, the fault in our stars and the perks of being a wallflower. All of these books are ones that I would not usually find myself picking them up to read. Thanks to A Beautiful Mess book club though I am finding myself reading books that are not necessarily a crime or thriller novel, which is good!

The book I enjoyed the least out of this group would have to be Stiff: The curious lives of human cadavers. Don’t get me wrong though I still really enjoyed it, I just found it quite difficult to get into. I don’t usually read books like this one, but I do have a few more of Mary Roach’s books on my kindle to read so hopefully fingers crossed I will get used to her style of writing. What I love the most about Mary Roach is the topics her books are on, I found this book pretty fascinating and found out so many things I didn’t know. Funnily enough if I hadn’t read this book either I wouldn’t have ever found out I’m sure.

This post was meant to be done in March but I thought I would post it a couple days early.

 

Thank you for reading

Katy
