Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone!

It's time to look back on 2014 and look ahead at 2015! So, we'll look back on 2014 first. I at first challenged myself to read 150 books, but due to life and other things, I brought it down to 100. In total, I read 130 books! I did not get my driver's license in 2014, but I am taking my practical test this month! I did actually finish buying at least of the series that I own - I don't know how that happened, but it did. I cleaned my library and room - multiple times. ;) But I did not do a bookshelf tour. I promise that I will. I first need to finish learning my way around Robert, my new camera.

I'm doing any New Year's Resolutions this year because I kind of just want to see what life throws me and go with it. Oh, except I'm going to BookCon. That is totally happening!! And January 6th, I get to meet Brandon Sanderson. I might even get to meet Joelle Charbonneau!

I started out with a list of books I planned on reading throughout the year. I got through roughly half of them. And this year, I have a 2015 reading challenge I'm doing! Should be a lot more fun. This is the reading challenge:

I have at least half of these covered already, so this should be super fun! I hope you guys have a wonderful beginning to 2015! I certainly have some exciting things planned, and I have a good feeling about the year in general. And I hope to see some of you at BookCon!
