2015 in review & 2016 bookish goals

It’s January and with the new year comes the time of setting new goals, but first lets take a look into 2015, what were the best books I read in 2015 and what I have accomplished from my 2015 resolutions.

1.   “El club de los incomprendidos” by Blue Jeans. This Spanish series might be one of the best series I read in 2015. It is an enjoyable contemporary series that takes in Madrid. I think it is a shame it hasn’t been translated to a lot of languages yet.

2.   Mr. Kiss and tell by Rob Thomas. The second book in the Veronica Mars series was amazing as expected. What can I say I was in love with the TV series and I cannot help but loving anything that has to do with this young private eye.

3.   The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. This year I finished this series and discovered why is everyone obsessed with it. You must read it if you have not yet.

4.   If I stay by Gayle Forman. Really amazing contemporary, which left me in shock. It was incredible and not comparable to anything I have read before.

5.   Unmade by Sarah Rees Brenan. This was the last book to a really good and interesting series, “The Lynburn legacy”. However this last book was outstanding.

6.   Ignite me by Tahereh Mafi. Another outstanding ending to a series. I was not a fan of the first book in the series but the second book convinced me, and this last one blow me out.

7.   “The One” by Kiera Cass. And jet another amazing ending to a series which was not amazing but ended just the way it should; even if there was an spin off series I liked.

8.   End of days by Susan Ee. This was the last book in the “Penryn and the end of days” series, a series I just started because the first book in the series was really cheap, but a series I fell in love with.

9.   “Dash and Lilly’s book of dares” by Rachel Con and David Leviathan. This was my last read of 2015 and it was everything I was expecting it to be.

10. “Precious stones” trilogy by Kerstin Gier. I re-read this series this year and remembered why did I love it so much. I was a really special amazing series.

Now lets talk about my bookish 2015 goals and how did they went. My fist goal was to read 50 books, which I accomplished by reading 51 books.

My second goal was to read one “classic” middle age book each month, which sadly did not happen. I also wanted to finish some series, and I did manage to finish a total of 13 series, however I still have started series I want to end. And last I wanted to finish the POP sugar reading challenge, which I completely forgot about.

Now for 2016 I am setting my reading challenge in sixty books, since I did well with fifty last year.

My second goal would be to read at least 10 out of the Paper and Glam book club, since most of the books will put me out of my comfort zone reading wise.

And I am just going to set another goal, and it is to read the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, since I have never got around to do so when I was I child.
