A Year Without Reading: A TBR!

12:04:00 0
There's nothing worse for a book lover than to get to the end of the year and realise you barely read anything. My Goodreads challenge is pitifully low and I wasn't even close to winning. NaNoWriMo was a bust and overall 2015 had been a suck-ish year in terms of reading for me.

This isn't from not wanting to but simply in the immortal words that writers love to condemn,

 'I DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME.'

I'm a third year at University living and tidying my first house. I have to work to pay for said house and at the end of the day, when I drag my knackered bottom to bed, I don't stay up to read. Having a year in which I only read about 20 books (I know that still okay for some people, but one year I got 200 down! Damn I was on point) and I'm sort of freaked out by it and hope this won't be the beginning of a sad bookless life. I'm being dramatic, I've just been busy. Adulting is all about finding routine, once I get that down, I'll be good.

However in 2015, I did purchase a lot of books, and in order to urge myself to get them done, here is a TBR for 2016 of sorts. These are the books I will definitely get read this year, hopefully this month.


  • A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin
  • Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
  • The Art of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson (Started in 2015)
  • Throne of Glass 5 by Sarah J Maas
  • A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas
  • Stolen by Melissa De La Cruz and Michael Johnston
  • Let It Snow by John Green and More (I'll get it done one year, I swear)
These are just a few I'm hoping to read this year. To make up for my lackluster 2015, I'm also trying to read the books I've been neglecting, that I bought years ago and never read or finished. It's sad really, my TBR shelf is in need of a little TLC.

So how is your book year looking?
Did you rock in 2015? 
Let me know!

Happy Reading.
