December's End

This year I read 61 books. I didn't read any during this month.....Well technically I tried to read two books but I couldn't get into them at all. I tried to read The Headmaster's Wife by Christopher Thomas Greene and A Density of Souls by Christopher Rice. They didn't pull me in at the start so I couldn't finish them have had some bad news delivered to me about my dad, and that has pretty much taken up my mind. I am trying to be positive and not borrow trouble until we know for sure what is going on but that's hard for me to do.
I got two new books for Christmas that I am excited to start....The Man from the Train: The Solving of a Century-old  Serial Killer Mystery by Bill James and The Harbor by Carla Neggers.
I am going to partake in the 2018 Popsugar Reading Challenge..it has 52 prompts in the challenge. It took me awhile to get a book for each prompt.
Some of these books are definitely outside my regular reading box but maybe it will open me up to reading other things. I also have two columns on the list that say date started/date finished. I would like to surpass my reading goal from this year and read more than 61 books, this challenge has 52 so just ten more shouldn't be hard, I mean I have a ton on my TBR pile I am sure I can squeeze them in somewhere.
Here's to a great new year!
