Hello my little munchkins. I promised myself that I would do ONLY one post per day but here I am going on my fourth even though I should be saving these blog posts so I can spread them out throughout the month. But, hey I just can’t seem to stop myself from sharing all of these posts because I want you to read them all. Anyways why don’t we just head into this post already.
So I am going to be honest here and say that I have never acutely done any challenges like this to my recollection. However, I hope that I will enjoy all of them and do more in the future. So why don’t I tell you the challenges that I am hoping to participate in this year.

My only book challenge this year is to read 110 books, since I did 101 in 2017. And I want to get more into audiobooks for car rides and walking places and getting ready in the morning!

OH MY GOODNESS GO YOU. I ONLY HIT 92 books last year but that was only me reading in 6 months so I think I did good. I am already on my 9th book of the year and my goal is 100 so I am doing pretty good in my opinion. AUDIOBOOKS are really good and you will definitely listen to a lot. I wish you the best of luck on your goal cause don’t us bookworms need it so we don’t lose our sanity? What sanity? The last strand of sanity that we may have. Have a great day 🙂

It is funny you mention sanity because my family notices that if I don’t read one day, I am cranky and not fun to be around! Audiobooks don’t calm me down, interestingly. Maybe because I am always doing something while listening to them.

Same here. I mean when I finish a book I am a raging mess because of all the emotions it has caused me. So my family always knows when I am reading a book and when I am about to finish a book.

I don’t think any bookworm has any sanity left.
