Participating in the Winter 2017 Comment Challenge!

Hello there! I am writing this quick post to tell you guys that I am participating in the Winter 2017 Comment Challenge for the month of February, hosted by Alicia from A Kernel of Nonsense and Lonna from FLYLēF. 

So what they do is they pair you up with another participant, and you sign up to comment on either 5+ or 10+ blog posts from the blogger you've been paired. I thought it was a nice idea to try an make book bloggers from around the world connect! Let's grow our circles in this great community! :D 

My pair for this month's challenge is Cec, from Yellow Eccentricity. We've chosen to comment on 5+ blog posts from the other. I haven't participated before, but I'm sure this will be fun! :D

Happy reading!

My surprising 2016 Challenges

Hello, hello! It's 2017 now, and it's time to have a look back at the past year and see how I did with the challenges I signed up for, which were mainly two -  2016 Finishing the Series Challenge (hosted by Bea's Nook Book) and 2016 Audiobook Challenge (hosted by Hot Listens). I'd never done challenges before, so I thought these ones were a nice opportunity to test the waters and see how I'd do!

I was really impressed to see I'd actually met my goals for both challenges! 

2016 Audiobook Challenge

As you might have read in a previous post, I first listened to an audiobook last year. My first ever audiobook was for the book Thirteen Reasons Why, by Jay Asher. I found it to be an extremely pleasant experience, you I've decided to give it a go and I've gone for the 2016 Audiobook Challenge, hosted by The Book Nympho and Hot Listens.

As I am pretty new at this, I've not been too harsh on myself and I've chosen the easiest level to begin with - the Newbie (I'll give it a try) level, which means that I have to listen to between 1 and 5 audiobooks between January 1st 2016 and December 31st 2016. I've set my goal on 4 audiobooks. Let's see how it goes!

Happy Reading!

wonderful literature.

2016 Finishing the Series Challenge

2016 Finishing the Series Challenge

Hello everyone!

I have found this challenge hosted by Bea from Bea's Book Nook, and I think it's a wonderful idea! I have been thinking lately about all the series I have left unfinished over the years for one reason or another which I should definitely go back to, and then suddenly... Boom! The perfect challenge for my purpose! :D  2016 Finishing the Series Challenge is precisely all about finishing the series which you have not finished yet, but you'd like to; and so I think this is a great opportunity to join the blog's first challenge!
