2017 | Reading Goals

I really love setting myself specific reading goals at the beginning of each year to encourage myself to change my reading habits. Like I mentioned in my 2016 challenge wrap up, I went a bit overboard with the reading challenges last year so I decided to change things a bit for 2017. In terms of official reading challenges, I only plan to do one challenge on top of my Goodreads challenge for the year. I also have some more lenient reading goals for myself, to make things more relaxed.

Again I am trying for 50 books in 2017. I managed it in 2015 but not last year so I need to push myself to get back on track with my reading. I really want to get this goal to 100 in the not to distant future.

Around The Year In 52 Books Challenge
This is a challenge run through a Goodreads group that I took part in for the second half of last year and really enjoyed. This is my main challenge for 2017 and the challenge list looks great for this year! The idea of this challenge is to read 52 books, one for each week of the year, from a list of 52 challenge prompts. I will be sharing my rough reading plan with you so please share any recommendations for the challenges with me.

Like I said, as well as my challenges I also have some general reading goals for 2107.

- Get my physical TBR under 100 books
I have about 150 physical books on my shelves that are unread, which I think is obscene, and that isn't even counting ebooks or audiobooks! I'm running out of space on my shelves and I've already ran out of space for more shelves so I need to tackle that.

- Read 5 before buying
To help with my space problem I want to cut back on my book buying. I am hoping I can stick to the challenge of reading 5 books before I buy any more. I am still going to allow myself to buy ebooks if I really want to, since that doesn't take up shelf space.

- Read more ebooks
For the past couple of years I have taken part in an ebook reading challenge, however this year that challenge isn't being run (as far as I know). Rather than find another one to join, I decided to just give myself the goal of reading more, rather than a specific number. I read 9 in 2016 so if I top that I'll be happy.

- Read more series
Again this is something I set myself a challenge for last year but decided to be a bit more relaxed with this year. I have so many unfinished series and loads that I want to start but haven't got around to so I would like to make an effort to get to them.

- Get back into audiobooks
I really got into audiobooks in 2015 but didn't listen to a single one in 2016. I have about 14 audiobooks in my audible library and had to cancel my subscription last year because I wasn't taking advantage of it. I would like to get through as many of the 14 as possible but even if I get through 2 I'll be happy.

- Read what I want
I have always been one for making a TBR list for each month and being determined to stick to it as much as possible but I often find I'm forcing myself to read things I don't really feel like reading. This year I want to be more lenient with myself and just read whatever I fancy. Obviously it would be helpful if the book I felt like reading fit into the Around The Year In 52 Books challenges but I'm going to try not to put too much pressure on myself to read specific books.

I also have a few blog related goals for the year.

- Blog more consistently
Things were a bit mad in 2016 and blogging took a back seat, which meant I would be consistent for a few weeks and then disappear again. I would like to try and post once a week at the very least, unless I'm going on holiday like I am next week, but ideally 3 times a week.

- Have more variety
For the entirety of 2016 this blog consisted of pretty much only wrap ups, hauls, TBRs and the odd review. Mostly that was due to the fact I didn't have the time to think about anything else I wanted to post. I would really like to branch out and get some more interesting content on here.

- Keep up to date with reviews
I am so terrible when it comes to reviewing books! As soon as I finish a book I write up notes for my review but it can often be 3/4 months later, or even more sometimes, before I finally write the review. By that point my notes don't give me enough to write a good review, which isn't helpful. I'm going to aim to write my reviews no more than a week after finishing the book.

- Bookstagram
I created an Instagram account for this blog ages ago and did nothing at all with it so I decided at the beginning of the year to finally start using it. I'm not very creative or great with photography but I'm going to give it a go. I really just want to have a been able to photograph every book I read this year to look back on. If you would like to follow my name is DreamingOfHappyEndings.

Those are my slightly more relaxed goals for 2017. What are your reading goals for the year?

2016 | Most Disappointing Of 2016

Unfortunately, throughout your reading life, there are often books you expect more from and are left disappointed. This could be book you expect to like and end up hating, or just a book you wanted to love but it didn't quite reach 5 star level. I didn't want to share my least favourite books of the year and just end up bashing someones hard work, but I thought I would share 5 books that disappointed me in 2016.

Bridget Jones' Diary by Helen Fielding - I absolutely love this movie and heard such great things about the book that I really expected to love it. I thought it would be the perfect summer read, especially as it's on so many summer reading lists. However, I ended up having so many problems with it. I didn't like the informality of the writing - I know it's meant to be a diary but when you start to miss out 'the' and similar words it just becomes too informal for my liking. There was also a lot of unhealthy talk about weight that I just didn't like.

Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon - I was so excited to read this because everyone was raving about it for months following its publication. The premise was intriguing and I really loved the unique way it was written but I had some problems I just couldn't ignore. I gave it 3 stars as I did enjoy it, but had it ended differently and the problems I had were resolved, it would have easily been a 4 star read.

Confessions Of A Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella - This was possibly my most disappointing read of the year. Everyone loves Sophie Kinsella and this series in particular but I really did not like this book. I had so many problems with the main character and a lot of the plot points, it just wasn't for me. I have a full review if you want to know more of my thoughts.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell - This was more a case of I really liked it but I wanted to love it. This is a favourite for so many people and I really did want to love it. I definitely loved aspects of it but I couldn't take to a lot of the 'fanfic' aspect. I thought it was a great extra dimension to Cath, the main character, and loved reading the sections of the fanfic, but I think it was taken a bit too far for my liking.

The Crown by Kiera Cass - I really liked this book, don't get me wrong, but it was a slightly disappointing conclusion to the series. I was disappointed as soon as my copy first arrived because of how short it was. The final two books in The Selection series just don't like up to the original trilogy in general, but I think my biggest disappointment was just how it ended. I'm not used to shipping the couple that doesn't work out and, as much as I understand why Eadlyn didn't end up with the boy I wanted, it still made me a little bit mad. I planned to do a full spoiler review discussing my thoughts back in May when I read it but never got around to it, let me know if I should still go ahead and do it.

Like I said, these weren't necessarily books I didn't enjoy from 2016, but in some way I was disappointed. Let me know you're thoughts on these books and what books disappointed you in 2016?

2016 | Reading Challenge Wrap Up

Considering how well my reading year went in general, I really don't think the final results of any of my 2016 challenges will be a surprise. At least I tried, right? Here's hoping 2017 is the year I finally complete all my reading challenges!

Goodreads Challenge - 50 Books

I only managed 36 books in 2016, which is the least I've read in a year since I started blogging. There were a lot of factors to my lack of reading in 2016 that hopefully won't be an issue this year.

Failure - 36/50

Ebook Reading Challenge - Level 2: Bytes - 10 Books

This was hosted by Annette at Annette's Book Spot and it's one I love to take part in as it really encourages me to read more ebooks. I was so close with this one, I could easily have completed it but I just ran out of time. 

Failure - 9/10

Books Read: 

1. Ignite by Lily Paradis

2. The Grownup by Gillian Flynn

3. UnStrung by Neal Shusterman

4. I Want It That Way by Ann Aguirre

5. The New Girl by Tracie Puckett

6. The Walking Dead Issue 1 by Robert Kirkman

7. Bridget Jones' Diary by Helen Fielding

8. Anna And The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

9. Happy Again by Jennifer E Smith

Audiobook Challenge - Newbie: 1-5 Books

This was hosted by The Book Nympho and Hot Listens. I started getting into audiobook back in 2015 and really enjoyed them so thought this would encourage me to listen to more. It would appear this had the opposite effect as I didn't listen to any audiobooks in 2016.

Failure - 0/5

TBR Pile Reading Challenge - 11-20: A Friendly Hug

This was hosted by Bookish Lifestyle and it's a challenge I really need to give up on. I give myself different criteria for each year and for 2016 I was counting any book in my TBR jar, which is about 90% of the books I own so I don't even know how I managed to fail this - for the third year in a row I must add. I was pretty close to the lower threshold this year, though.

Failure - 10/20

Books Read:

1. The DUFF by Kody Keplinger

2. I Want It That Way by Ann Aguirre

3. The New Girl by Tracie Puckett

4. City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare

5. Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson

7. The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

8. Bridget Jones' Diary by Helen Fielding

9. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

10. The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

Popsugar Reading Challenge

This one only made it to the middle of the year. I started this but didn't really like the challenge list so changed to one I liked better, the Around The Year in 52 Books challenge.

Gave Up - 14/40

Around The Year In 52 Books Challenge

This is a challenge hosted on Goodreads with a similar idea to the Popsugar challenge. It is a list of 52 challenges, one for each week of the year. I much preferred this list and the Goodreads group is like a little community. I didn't do as well a I hoped in this challenge but considering I only started it around June, I don't think I did too badly.

Acceptable - 30/52

Finish 5 Series

This was a personal challenge to get me to finish some of the series I started then put off. That didn't really go to plan though.

Failure - 2/5

Books Read:

1. Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince by JK Rowling

1. Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling

2. Happily Ever After by Kiera Cass

2. The Crown by Kiera Cass

Start 5 Series

Another personal challenge as I have so many first books in series on my shelves that I really need to get to . I'm pleased to say I made a pretty good dent in that collection of series to start by accomplishing this goal.

Success - 7/5

Books Read:

1. Confessions Of A Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella

2. City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare

3. Flawed by Cecelia Ahern

4. I Want It That Way by Ann Aguirre

5. The New Girl by Tracie Puckett

6. The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

7. Bridget Jones' Diary by Helen Fielding

I think I probably took on a few too many challenges in 2016, which led to me failing most of my challenges pretty miserably. How did you do with your 2016 goals?

2016 | End Of Year Survey

I have loved taking part in Jamie's (The Perpetual Page Turner) End Of Year Survey for the past couple of years so of course I'm going to be doing it again for 2016. I will be missing some questions out that I don't have decent answers to, specifically the blogging related questions since I have been a terrible blogger this year. Check out Jamie's post for the complete survey.

Number Of Books You Read: 36

Number Of Re-Reads: 2

Genre You Read The Most From: YA Contemporary

1. Best book you read in 2016?
Flawed by Cecelia Ahern

2. Book you were excited about & thought you were going to love more but didn't?
Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon - everyone seems to love this book but it was just average for me. I had a lot of problems with aspects of the plot and that did affect my enjoyment.

3. Most surprising (in a good way or bad way) book you read?
I Want It That Way by Ann Aguirre - I didn't expect much from this and was pleasantly surprised that I actually really enjoyed it.

4. Book you "pushed" the most people to read (and they did)?
I didn't really do a lot of book pushing in 2016. I made my mum read The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins but she wasn't a fan.

5. Best series you started in 2016? Best sequel of 2016? Best series ender of 2016?
Series started: Flawed by Cecelia Ahern
Sequel: Does Happily Ever After by Kiera Cass count?
Series Ender: Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling

6. Favourite new author you discovered in 2016?
Jay Asher, Sandy Hall, Kody Keplinger, Corrine Jackson, Ann Aguirre, Cassandra Clare - there were so many!

7. Best book from a genre you don't typically read/was out of your comfort zone?
Lying About Last Summer by Sue Wallman - I think this is the first YA mystery/thriller I have read and I really enjoyed it. It was the perfect amount of creepy with a great mystery element.

8. Most action-packed/thrilling/unputdownable book of the year?
Other than Lying About Last Summer that I just mentioned, The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins was definitely thrilling and unputdownable.

9. Book you read in 2016 that you are most likely to re-read next year?
Flawed by Cecelia Ahern - hopefully I can get around to re-reading it before the second book comes out.

10. Favourite cover of a book you read in 2016?
What Light by Jay Asher - there is no competition here, that cover is absolutely beautiful and possible one of my favourites of all time.

11. Most memorable character of 2016? 
I'm having a hard time remembering many of the characters I read about in 2016, simply because I have a terrible memory! I really loved Caleb from What Light so probably him.

12. Most beautifully written book read in 2016?
Love Is The Higher Law by David Levithan - 9/11, I can only imagine, is a damn hard topic to write a book about but David Levithan did a great job.

13. Most thought-provoking/life changing book of 2016?
I would have to say Love Is The Higher Law again.

14. Book you can't believe you waited until 2016 to finally read?
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell & City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare - both are books I should have read a long time ago.

15. Favourite passage/quote from a book you read in 2016?
"I think if you were somehow able to measure the weight of human kindness, it would have weighed more on 9/11 than it ever had. On 9/11, all the hatred and murder could not compare with the weight of love, of bravery, and of caring." - I mentioned this quote in my review of Love Is The Higher Law and with all of the terrible things happening in the world in 2016, this really stuck with me.


16. Shortest and longest book you read in 2016?
( I covered this in my stats post so this time I'm not including novellas/graphic novel issues)
Shortest: The Grownup by Gillian Flynn - 64 pages
Longest: Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling - 620 pages

17. Book that shocked you the most?
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling - I knew about all of the major deaths in this series but there was one very early on in this book that I didn't know about and it completely shocked me.

18. OTP of the year?
Eadlyn & Kile from The Heir/The Crown by Kiera Cass (don't even get me started!) or Clary & Jace from City of Bones by Cassandra Clare.

19. Favourite non-romantic relationship of the year?
Nadia & Sam from I Want It That Way by Ann Aguirre - I love kids in NA books and Nadia's relationship with Ty's son was just adorable.

20. Favourite book you read in 2016 from an author you read previously?
Flawed by Cecilia Ahern or, to mention a book I haven't mentioned yet, On The Fence by Kasie West.

21. Best book you read in 2016 that you read based solely on a recommendation from somebody else/peer pressure?
Harry Potter - I finally finished the series this year and I only picked it up in the first place purely because I was getting pressured constantly.

22. Newest fictional crush from a book you read in 2016?
Seriously, I have to choose just one? Here's the top 3:
Caleb - What Light by Jay Asher
Wes - The DUFF by Kody Keplinger
Graham - This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E Smith

23. Best 2016 debut you read?
I think Lying About Last Summer by Sue Wallman was the only one I read.

24. Best worldbuilding/most vivid setting you read this year?
The Sea Of Monsters by Rick Riordan - from what I've read so far it seems Rick Riordan's books always have great settings.

25. Book that put a smile on your face/was the most fun to read?
A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall - the unique way this story is told made it so fun to read. I mean, what isn't fun about reading from the POV of a squirrel or a bench.

26. Book that made you cry or nearly cry in 2016?
I cry at everything! If I Lie by Corinne Jackson had me sobbing for the last chunk of the book.

27. Hidden gem of the year?
Lying About Last Summer by Sue Wallman - I've not heard anyone talk about it but I really liked it.

28. Book that crushed your soul?
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - do I need to explain?

29. Most unique book you read in 2016? 
Again, definitely A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall.

30. Book that made you the most mad (doesn't necessarily mean you didn't like it)?
The Crown by Kiera Cass - I really liked this book, don't get me wrong, but I was so angry with how it ended. I still get mad just thinking about it.



1. One book you didn't get to in 2016 but will be your number 1 priority in 2017?
Cinder by Marissa Meyer - there are so many but I gave The Lunar Chronicles as my answer to this question last year so I think it's definitely about time.

2. Book you are most anticipating for 2017 (non-debut)?
By Your Side by Kasie West - I adore Kasie West and this sounds amazing.

3. 2017 debut you are most anticipating?
When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon - so many people are talking about this and it sounds so interesting.

4. Series ending/a sequel you are most anticipating in 2017?
Perfect by Cecelia Ahern. the sequel/conclusion to Flawed.

5. One thing you hope to accomplish or do in your reading/blogging life in 2017?
I'm hoping to be able to find a good balance between read/blogging and uni life. I really struggled to find the time when I started my new course in September, as it is much more work than the last.

6. A 2017 release you've already read and recommend to everyone?
I haven't read any yet.

Well that took longer than I thought it would! That is my 2016 reading year, I hope you had a great one.

Sophie :)

2016 | Top 8 Books Of 2016

Every year in January I see so many blog post and youtube videos discussing a varying number of favourite books of the year. I don't think I have ever done this any other year but I decided since I have been so negative about my reading year in 2016 it would be good to be positive. So rather than complain about not reading much in 2016, today I thought I would share my top 8 books I read in 2016 (this started as 5, I just couldn't narrow it down - oops!).

Flawed by Cecelia Ahern - My favourites of the year are pretty much in no particular order but this is the exception. Flawed is definitely my favourite book I read this year and was the only book, other than one re-read, I gave 5 stars to. I adore Cecelia Ahern and have loved everything I have read by her but I was unsure about her first foray into YA. This is the first book in a dystopian duology about a world in which anyone who is not 'Perfect' is branded as 'Flawed' and treated poorly in society. I loved this concept and thought it was executed perfectly, with some really great characters.

If I Lie by Corrine Jackson - This was one of those books I picked up completely on a whim and was so pleasantly surprised by it. This is about a girl who is caught cheating on her military boyfriend and is basically shunned by her entire community, however it's not all as it seems but to explain she would need to share a secret she is keeping for her boyfriend. This was a really heartbreaking and although I had a few issues with a couple of things, that didn't spoil my overall enjoyment of the book.

On The Fence by Kasie West - I read The Distance Between Us by Kasie West in 2015 and loved it so it was no surprise when I really loved this one as well. This was pretty much your typical tomboy/'one of the guys' girls who want to be noticed as a girl kind of story but had an additional family aspect that really added to the story. Kasie West always seems to write really great characters and this book was no exception.

What Light by Jay Asher - For someone who loves Christmas as much as I do, I rarely read Christmas themed books, so when I heard about this one I was so excited to get my hands on it. This was a perfect book to get me in the Christmas mood and just generally gave me the warm and fuzzy feels. I loved the Christmas tree farm aspect and all the characters holiday traditions but also the story in general was really great. This is one I will definitely try to re-read for many Christmases to come.

A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall - I had my eye on this for a while but it wasn't something I was expecting great things from, I was just intrigued by the concept. I finally picked it up because I wanted something short and I'm so glad I did. This is such an interesting concept as it is told from multiple perspective, none of which being the main characters. It reminded me a lot of Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, which I also read this year, but with only my favourite parts. This was so unique and I loved it.

The DUFF by Kody Keplinger - I read this one towards the beginning of the year so, if I'm being honest, the details are a bit hazy. I just remember this being a really fun read. Although there were some more serious aspects, it was just generally fun and I really loved that the relationship was quite true to life and relatable, as I mentioned a bit about in my review.

Happily Ever After by Kiera Cass - It's no secret that The Selection series by Kiera Cass is one of my favourite series, however I was not as much of a fan of the final two books as the original trilogy. Happily Ever After is a collection of the novellas from the original trilogy, so I absolutely loved getting back into the series and revisiting the characters that I fell in love with. You can check out my review for more of my thoughts.

City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare - 2016 was the year I finally started The Mortal Instruments series. I know, I'm so behind with reading this series but I did eventually get around to it. I'm pretty sure everyone knows what this is about by now so all I really need to say is this was great! I don't know why I put it off for so long, and I really don't know why I haven't continued with the series yet.

I didn't think I had read many great books this year but it turns out trying to narrow it down to my top 5 was just impossible, hence why this is my top 8. I guess looking back I had a much better reading year than I thought, even if I didn't read very many books, or a lot of 5 star reads. What was your favourite book you read in 2016?

2016 | Statistics

Last year I compiled a little reading statistics survey based on a similar one created by some other bloggers mentioned here.

There you have my 2016 stats. I don't know why I find this so interesting but I really love breaking my reading down at the end of the year and comparing it to previous years. I definitely seem to be a lot harsher with my ratings in 2016 compared to previously, with only two 5 stars and five 2 stars! I also seem to have moved away from listening to audiobooks, which is disappointing. I need to work on that for this year!

Wrap Up | All The Books Of 2016

I can't be the only one who is pretty happy to be seeing the end of 2016. I had some pretty great things happen in 2016 but overall it has definitely been one of the worst. In terms of reading, I had a horrendous year! I read the least number of books I've read in years and only 2 of them were 5 star reads (and one of them was a re-read).

Those 36 books look even less written down like that! Reviews for some of the books mentioned will be coming soon but I did do a pretty poor job of reviewing the books I read in 2016 as well. At least that gives me plenty of goals to work on in 2017.
