I keep thinking how I need to read at least non-fic every year.

My year was similar in that I had very few books which really knocked my socks off, though I did read quiet a few books that I enjoyed, and only a few which I ended up DNF-ing.<br /><br />I'm going to try to take on fewer review books in 2016, as well as fewer challenges, in order to have time to read more of the books on my TBR list.Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-55324814972526884242015-12-23T21:17:18.957-06:002015-12-23T21:17:18.957-06:00*big sigh* yes on the Shalvis.

I ended up with a number of meh ones though but mostly because I read most of the cold request books that were sent to me in print. A number of them I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise (with good reason it seems lol).

It was a fairytale retelling challenge and I only read one book for it. Ha ha. Earlier today I took all the picture books out of my GR totals and some cookbooks that I only skimmed through, and I almost went below my goal of 104! Yikes!

It sounds like you had a good year in books overall, even if not many books stood out. I'm tried to swear off challenges in the past, but it never completely took. I am going for moderation this year and letting myself indulge in them.
