The 2016 Reading Challenge

Welcome everyone! I decided to start this blog because I'm always reading great books but never really giving my opinions on them.
Also, my now-husband and I decided to embark on the 2016 Reading Challenge - we did start in January, don't worry! I feel like I'm doing well with mine so far - I'm not actually sure about my husband's progress! Anyways, if you're looking for something new to read I may be able to inspire you, or if you'd like to recommend a book for me then please leave a comment!

Here's the different categories for the Reading Challenge. We said that we would aim to pick books we'd never read before, rather than choose books we've already read knowing they fit a particular category.
