February To Be Read

My goal this year is 225 books, if I break that down it comes out to 19 books per month, with 5 books a week. Totally doable in my books, so as the proverb says, you can eat an elephant one bite at a time, so here are my first few bites:

Last month I really just focused on setting up my planners, my vision board and my new year. I barely read anything. Plus, Scribd limited what I could listen to just 2 TWO books. I'm still salty about it.  It's a new month and I'm willing to forgive them because I'm only paying $8.99 a month and getting access to so much, but I'm still side eyeing them.

Key:
Blue means the book added during the month. Red= DNF (Did Not Finish) Black= Original Titles at the beginning of the month.

Yule Reading Challenge

Welcome back to another year of the Yule Reading Challenge, here I attempt to read all the Yule/ Christmas books listed on my shelves and any ARCs I might have.  Last year I did this list and really enjoyed reading some of the books I owned.  This lead to me falling in love with a few new authors and adding them on to the TBR Pile but also made me aware of the awesome stories already sitting on the pile from those authors as well.

With another season on us I wanted to give myself plenty of time to really fall in love with these books, since I don't celebrate Thanksgiving I'm going to be going right from Halloween reads right into the Yule season.  If you would like to join in just share in the comments down below and we can work on motivating each other to clean up the TBR Pile just a little bit more.  To make this more fun, this year we are going to be doing some giveaways as well. More to be announced so be on the lookout!!

2019 Freshman Series Challenge

Good Morning my loves

I'm trying to re-read this series that I loved when I was younger.  I think of these as the basis for what "new adult" is.  Linda Cooney's series has been my favorite for years and I can't wait to re-read and see how the stories have held up.

In no particular order here are all the books. I have 27 to read from the series:

To Be Read: 27

Read in 2019:

• Freshman Lies
• Feud
• Games
• Choices
• Flames
• Noel
• Freedom
• Guys
• Summer
• Obsession
• Secrets
• Loves
• Dreams
• Nights
• Promises
• Fling
• Changes
• Schemes
• Follies
• Dorm
• Breakup
• Heat
• Rivals

And the series that started it all the Class of 88 and 89 Freshman, Sophmore, Junior and Senior years.

I can't wait, for me, this is a reminder of Degrassi before it sucked, a hint of Felicity, and A Different World all rolled into one. I loved the drama of the story and glimpse of what I thought college might be like (I'm still waiting for half that drama lol) but it was a good series that highlighted some of the stresses, pitfalls, and dangers that college had. And it made me so eager to experience it all.  I can't wait to see how this series holds up to my memories.

Have you read this series?? Would you like to know how it holds up?/ Make sure to check back each month as I share more about the series and my progress into it.  Let me know if you have any book you read as a kid ( and no harry potter doesn't count we know that one holds up) that made you excited about school or some wonderful adventure.
