The second full week of 2016 and it's been hectic, Cubs started back but thanks to some last minute meeting cancellation I wasn't quite ready and we had a games night.
I actually managed to get quite a lot of reading done this week. I finished two books and am well on my way to finishing a third.
In other news my county had it's first snow of 2016 on Thursday evening, which saw me walking home to a numb head and then heading out to my in-laws down some twisty lanes while the snow flurried. My father in laws birthday being something I can't miss even if that stretch of road makes me nervous at the best of times following some ice last winter.

What I've been reading:
Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery
- An interesting book, but perhaps not entirely to my taste which is taking me a little while to edge my way through.
- This will count towards the following challenges; Alphabet Soup, 12 Months Classics Challenge, 100+ Books Challenge and You Read How Many Books Challenge.
The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan
- An exceptional fantasy story which I listened to with audible. So good in fact that I used all of my spare time over the first couple of days this week to listen to it and finished it off all in a hurry.
- This book counts towards the following challenges; Alphabet Soup, Flights of Fantasy Reading Challenge, 100+ Books Challenge and You Read How Many Books Challenge.
Worth the lies by Mara Jacobs
- I love Mara Jacobs Worth series, unlike a lot of romance authors with on going stories she puts time into her characters. They get a real story and real backgrounds and don't feel like the same character every time juste wearing different clothes!
- This book counts towards the following challenges; Alphabet Soup, 100+ Books Challenge and You Read How Many Books Challenge.
- I have to say that when I received this book I was a little put off by the cover. It looked kind of trashy, I'm loving it though.
- This book counts towards the following challenges; Alphabet Soup, 2016 Flights of Fantasy Reading Challenge, 2016 Series a Month Challenge, 100+ Books Challenge and You Read How Many Books Challenge.
- This book is also the first book of the first series nominated for the Flights of Fantasy Book Club hosted by Alexa Loves Books.
My Bookish Resolutions
Reading Challenges:
- I have read 9/41 Discworld books
- I have read 2/100 books in 2016 so far
Blogging Challenges:
- I still don't feel as though I've made progress towards a blogging routine, although I managed to pattern a couple of posts from last week I still feel as though I'm getting into the swing of normal life.
- I have made no further progress towards cataloguing my 'library', here.
- So far I have written a couple of reviews of recently read books.
- I've written a bit for some backlist books I wanted to review.
Personal Challenges:
- This week I lost another 2lbs. I was a little stricter with myself in terms of snacking.
- I went swimming twice this week. On Tuesday I swam 64 lengths and on Friday I swam 40 lengths, meaning I've officially managed to swim my first mile of the year, if not twice in one week!
- I had no fizzy drinks this week!
