Alisia (meniali) | 248 comments My 2015 goal was 150 and I am just barely going to meet it! Quite a few of them have been short stories that I count separately and some children s books. I don't consider that cheating because I made my intent clear when I set my goal that high. This year I'm going to play it safe and set my goal for a measly 75 and hope to exceed it!

You are absolutely right, it's hard to remember that sometimes :).

Alisia (meniali) | 248 comments I am already 4 books in for this month and I'm thinking maybe I need to up my yearly goal. The only reason I set it so "low" is because I hope to become pregnant in July and don't know if I'll feel up to reading if I am as sick as I was with the first pregnancy.

I'll leave it for now, but I have a feeling I will end up changing it. :)

Hey Megan! I really enjoyed The Giver and its sequel Gathering Blue. I look forward to the last two in this series. The Wool Omnibus was also amazing if you are into dystopia/sci-fi.

It was entertaining but disturbing. It also became a bit predictable but it is YA, and I am an adult so I can't be too hard on it lol.
