Book It – Year’s End
The year has come to a close, so here’s a run down of how I did in meeting the 2015 Reading List from PopSugar. There were a total of 50 different categories to read a book in, so I decided right off the bat that I would need to mark each category a book fell…
Read MoreBooklr Questions – What was your reading goal for this year?
What was your Goodreads challenge or reading goal for this year? This year I had 2 reading goals. The 1st, my Goodreads challenge was originally to read 12 books, one per month. I set my goal super small because I’d just gotten into reading again and wasn’t sure how many books I would have time…

Read MoreBooklr Questions – E-readers or physical copies of books?
Do you prefer e-readers or physical copies of books? Something every Booklr seems to have an opinion on is whether e-books or physical books are better. And I am no different. I have a very strong opinion on what type of books I want to read. I absolutely love having the option to read books…
