Reading Challenge for 2016 and what I’m currently reading

Everyone has challenges in the new year. Lose weight, find love of life, clean your room regularly, etc. While I completely share these dedications, I would also like to declare my dedications to my reading addiction this year. Below is a challenge I am going to take, and following that is the books I currently have that I want to finish. Comment, please!

1. A book published this year: The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead
2. A book you can finish in a day: (still looking for one)
3. A Book you’ve been meaning to read: The Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead
4. A book recommended by a local librarian or bookseller: Brida by Paulo Coelho
5. A book chosen by your BFF: BFF, tell me!
6. A book published before you were born: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
7. A book that was banned at some point: The Kite Runner by Khaled Hossini
8. A book you previously abandoned: Last Chance Saloon by Marian Keyes
9. A Book you own but have never read: The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks
10. A book that intimidates you: War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
11. A book you’ve read at least once: Emma by Jane Austen

Currently on my bookshelf waiting to be read:

1. Currently reading: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. I have so much love for this writer and the book at this point. Really having a fantastic time. I can’t read too much at a time, because the book simply has such big ideas.
2. Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy by Helen Fielding. I really do love the original Bridget Jones, so quite interested to see what this is about.
3. Brida by Paulo Coelho. Coelho is such an obscure, strange author. I’m never really sure what to make of his work.
4. The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks. Oh, because I need cheese in my life.
5. Live in Dreams by Josephine Cox. Started it and put it down again, but I will finish it just to be scathing.
6. Indelible by Karin Slaughter. To continue the series.
7. The Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead. Because it was a mad hunt to get a copy and I want to be able to say that I’m done with the series.

What are your reading plans for the year?
