2017 Reading Goals Update

It's the middle of the year so I thought I would do a reading goals update. My goals for the year were to read 100 books, read all the books on my bookshelf and reread the Harry Potter series. So far I have read 82 books so unless I get into a reading slump in the second half of the year I should achieve this goal. I also only have 4 books left on my bookshelf that I have not read and only one of them is a big book so this goal should be achievable too. I have just started to reread the Harry Potter series and am currently reading book 4 and I am flying through it so I should have them finished by the end of the month or early next month. I am really happy with how my progress is going so far and I will keep up with it and do another update towards the end of the year. Hope everyone else is doing well with their reading goals for this year.

There is just something about Emma and the Blackthorn family that has me hooked. I would say that if you are planning on reading this then maybe wait until the third book in the series is released as this book ends in a BIG cliffhanger and the next book isn't going to be released until 2019!!!! I don't even know where to begin describing this book as there is so much happening within the storyline and nothing gets resolved and I have to say that I still do not know where she is going with this series but I think she will weave the 'The Eldest Curses' (another series) she is planning on doing into the mix like she did with the Mortal Instruments and the Infernal Devices. As much as I love the Mortal Instruments series/spinoffs I kind of wish I had waited for her to c
