Halfway Through!

At the beginning of the year I set myself the goal of reading 50 books before the end of 2014 and it is something that I am determined to achieve. Along the way I have posted discussions about issues that have arisen from the reads and even managed to review a fair few of the books that I have read. I am thrilled that 6 months in to the year I have read 26 books and so am very much on track to reaching my target. 

I am thrilled at how this challenge has reignited my passion for reading and I am very happy with the books that I have read. Some of the stand-out favourites include the biography of Mary Wollstonecraft, as well as Beloved by Toni Morrison that I have been meaning to read for a long time, the graphic novel Saga and my World Book Night Swap novel The Master and Margarita.
