End of Year 2017 Reading Resolutions Recap

So at the beginning of the year I let you all know what reading resolutions I had set for 2017, and now you all can see whether or not I completed those challenges. If you set your own goals for this year I hope that you completed them.

1. Meet My Goodreads Reading Challenge Goal

My reading goal was 50 books, and I completed that by reading over that initial amount and reaching 75 books this year, which was more than I read last year.

2. Complete the State Reading Challenge

This challenge is basically to read a book that takes place in every state in the United States. I have yet to complete this challenge, but I try to complete it every year. This year, I did not complete it. :( And as for now, this might be the last time I try to complete this challenge for awhile.

3. Read 10 Contemporary Novels

Contemporary books are my least favorite genre, so every year I just aim to read 10, sometimes I read more and other times I don't read enough.

Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle

6. Complete the 2017 Debut Author Challenge

This is the only challenge where I allow books read from this challenge to also complete other challenges. This is a new challenge that I discovered this year, but I love how it challenges me to read books by authors that I am not familiar with. Here is a link to the original challenge post. This challenge was also added on later than my reading resolution announcement.

To Catch a Killer by Sheryl Scarborough
Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller
Ronit & Jamil by Pamela L. Laskin
One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus
Follow Me Back by A.V. Geiger
