Books I've Read So Far This Year

Sometimes I wish I was a speed reader.

I have so many books on my to read list that I keep adding too. I just don't think I will ever read them all ...

These are the ones I have read so far this year.

I set myself a challenge to read 30 books by the end of the year .. I am slowly getting there.

You can find the blurb on all of these on Goodreads

E Books via BookBub

I have been using a website called BookBub where you can search for e-books for your kindle from Amazon (Apple, Google and Kobo are available also). They send daily emails with books that you might find interesting depending on the genres you have chosen when you sign up with them.

You won't believe how many books I have snagged this way and the bonus is that a lot of them are freebies. In fact I have so many books to read on my kindle now I don't think I will ever get through them all.

I also use Goodreads to find great books to add to my already large To Read list. If you use Goodreads and wish to add a friend you can find my profile HERE.

Books I Have Read So Far This Year

I joined a website called Goodreads a while ago. I use it to keep track of the books I have read. I also use it to fine new books that I would like to read and to find new friends who love to read too. My lists for all three things are growing quite nicely. 

Anyway, I thought I would share the titles and covers of the books I have read so far this year. Not as many books as some other friends but I have already read more than I did in total for last year ☺ 

As you can see there are quite a few there. 

If you are interested in checking any of them out here's the list and the authors. BTW I got most of the books from Amazon Kindle and the majority of them were free at the time.

I Love A Good Read

Do you love reading a good book? I've always read a lot, even as a kid. I love to read in bed at night before I go to sleep, it helps me unwind.

A few months ago one of my favourite Australian authors, Kate Forsyth, whom I am friends with on Facebook (and who I got to meet in person a few months ago) invited me to a website called goodreads. Basically it's a social networking site for readers.

Goodreads is built around books. You can join groups and discussions on your favourite genres, authors or just talk about books you love. You can even keep track of the books you have read or want to read. Once you've reviewed a few books (and it doesn't need to be a written review you only need to give a book a star rating out of 5) goodreads will begin to recommend books for you to read based on your literary tastes.

If you're into books and want to join a social network based on books you should sign up. Even my boys have joined. If you want to find me here's my profile page although I'm not sure if you are able to see it without joining.
