Mid Year Update

Let’s take a look at the progress for what goals I have set for myself.  You can take a look at the resolutions page here.

My goals are:

75 books total   According to Goodreads I have read 66 books (this does include some picture books)

12 children’s fiction books  I have read 12 so far (consider this goal met-I still want to keep up reading more children’s books to keep up to date for my job)                        3 picture books (I have read more than 3 picture books, but these are the ones on my Goodreads):  Big Bad Bubble Back to Bed Ed Library Mouse                                                                      

 

 

9 early reader/fiction books:

5 classics I have read one classic so far: The Secret Garden.  Oh boy I need to get on this one.

5 rereads I have re-read 3 books.  I am planning on re-reading the first two Mara Dyer books before that last book comes out.
