After 3 years of participating in the Goodreads challenge, I FINALLY WON! I exceeded my goal of reading 30 books in 2015! HAPPY NEW YEAR! I probably wouldn't have been able to do this without the BookTubeAThon, during which I read 7 books in 7 days. But also, I don't count rereads on Goodreads, and… Continue reading 2015 year in books (and blogging)
