Library Loot

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and me that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. If you’d like to participate, just write up your post-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky any time during the week. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries.

The Dollmaker of Krakow

2018 Bookish Goals

Last year I had a hard time meeting my book goals so this year I'm not going to sign up for any challenges. As a friend of mine said, now I read like a normal person. I'm looking forward to just reading whatever I want to read.

I did sign up for the Goodreads challenge. I'm hoping for 100 books this year. Last year was the first time in seven years I didn't succeed in my Goodreads challenge. I like to try to read a 100 but if it doesn't happen, it's ok.

I've checked this one out before but returned it before I could read it. I'm hoping to get to this time.
