This year I didn’t sign up for a challenge as I haven’t done well the past few years. I no longer read like I use to. I do however look forward to see how you are doing and tell us what challenge you are doing.
Your turn.

The only challenge I’m doing is the Goodreads Reading Challenge. The target I set for the year is 110 books and I’m currently at 57 (that makes me 3 books ahead of schedule according to Goodreads). This doesn’t count all the books that I have to read for my job!! I work in a school library and pre-read all the take home readers before they are processed, so that would add a lot more books, but they are all small!
You are doing well Beth. Thats a lot of reading. Is it a Christian school?
Yes, Jenny, it is a Christian school. And a growing one too, so the past few years there have been thousands of books to check as we set up for new classes.
I didn’t take up the reading challenge – too daunting or frustrating for me. However, I’ve just discovered audiobooks – available free from my local library. I can ‘read’ them in the car, when I do housework, go for walks – any spare moment. I still read ‘real’ books or on Kindle but thoroughly enjoying the audio.
I haven’t tried audio. I my mind tends to wander. when I use do go for a morning walk I would take my music but would be lost in my thoughts and no idea which song was on. I am worried I would do that with audio books.
