The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimba Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
Ahhh … my first Sunday Post of 2015. I already know this is going to be a tough year for me, so prepare now for my emo-ish updates. lol.
Even though I completely exceeded my 2014 goal of reading 95 books by reading 175, I set my 2015 goal to 120. I also plan to listen to more audiobooks this year. I’m not much of a listener, but I’m trying! I already listened to two shorter ones.

For Review:
Have a great week!
Sorry to hear that 2015 is going to be a rough year for you. I hope it ends up being better than you expect. Congrats on your reading goal for 2014! 175 is impressive! It’s taken me awhile to get used to audio but I’m really enjoying them. It just took some time to figure out the balance of keeping my hands busy but my brain unoccupied so I could pay attention to the story. Have a great week!
It’s hard for me to not get distracted while listening, but I found that I can focus on it more if I speed it up.
New look, I like it! But I want your freebies. π Though I found plenty of my own. π
I’m giving audio another try; I hope it works for you.
I hope 2015 isn’t rough as you expect. Take care of yourself!
I downloaded over 30 freebies … :-\ No way was I going to link them all. lol
Thanks, Bea. π
All of your books look new to me but they all look fabulous! Congrats on them and way to go with the number of books read, that is awesome! I am trying so hard to get into audio books but I fail miserably at them.
I speed them up, so it made me focus more and not get so distracted while listening. lol.
I ended up doing DNF on Naughty Bits too. Will be here for your emo-is updates.
It was just too boring. I gave up around 30%
Lovely Haul!! Hope you enjoy your new books and have a great week π
Ooooh, The 27 Club looks good!
they’re all new to me but I hope you’ll like them. Happy reading!
I’ve yet to read anything by Roni Lauren but heard a lot of good about her. Everytime I see that title, Amour amour, it makes me think of that song by Rammstein : (Rha, can’t post the link, try Youtube Rammstein Amour amour and you’ll find it, sorry)
Have a great week π
I LOVE RAMMSTEIN!! LOVE! AMOUR!! Seriously, my favorite band.
Oh, man, you need to read Roni Loren. Nothing Between Us was so good, and so fucking hot!
Audiobooks are awesome. I prefer to listen to books that are heavy on the narratives than dialogues, which is weird because books heavy on the narratives tend to bore me. Lol. Anyway, looking forward to reading your The Start of Me and You review. π
I can understand why, though. I just speed them up and they hold my attention better. lol
Love your design change (hope it hasn’t been too long since you did that). π My review for Mayhem is going up this week! I hope I get approved for Riot because I already can’t wait to read it. I need to read Golden Son, but I’ve GOT to finish Red Rising first. I kind of put it down for a bit after reading 10%. I needed to read something I could finish faster. Hope you have a great week!
Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Know
WTF, Sandy? I changed it over a year ago. Kidding π It’s only been a week. I read Mayhem, and then immediately downloaded Riot. I’m looking forward to the bff’s story. lol. Oh man, you have GOT to keep reading Red Rising!
Oh I know it wasn’t a year ago! π HA! It hasn’t been THAT long since I visited. I agree, I’m looking forward to Dee’s story too! I’ll definitely continue with Red Rising. I was getting the feeling that a particular event was about to happen that would shape Darrow for the future. So I’ll definitely keep reading!
Oh my, 120 books for 2015? Go you! I reduced my goal this year, which was hard to do. The last two years I end up exciting the number, but this year, in addition to my 4 year old keeping me busy, lil sister who is now 4 months will keep me even more busy. WHEN AM I GONNA READ?!?! I may or may not be freaking out slightly.
Ah yes, young children suck up all the fun. Kidding! I wish mine would go back to being young. I’d gladly give up my reading time for it.
I’m not familiar with your new reads but a few caught my eye. Hope you enjoy them.
Wishing you and me both a better 2015. Mine has started out shaky but I’m working on it.
I hope your year gets better!
I had Penelope Douglas featured on the blog last week. I didn’t have a chance to read the book though.
I love Penelope’s writing! You should give it a try.
I like audiobooks for the commute to work, but I have to be more choosey in what I pick to listen to. Not all books work as audios for me.
Hope you have a great week!
Yeah, it’s already hard for me to get into an audiobook, so I’m kind of picky too.
I like the new look of the blog. It looks like you got some really interesting books. A few of them are new to me. I hope you love all of them.
Grace @ Books of Love
Thanks, Grace! π
I love Ilona Andrew’s books! Magic Bleeds was so good, wasn’t it!?!? I really need to catch up with this series but I hate the idea of not having more books to look forward to without waiting π My logic is a bit faulty, I know! I hope that you have a great week! Happy reading!
That is exactly how I feel! lol.
Wow! Congrats on hitting your target and good luck with your new goal for 2015! I’m thinking of setting up my goal too. Have a great week π
An emo-ish year doesn’t sound like fun π But at least you can cry on all our shoulders here! And read lots of sad books and just pretend it’s them that you are crying about, that’s what I do!
Awww Christy, I’m sorry to hear it’s going to be tough for you, hopefully we’ll be able to offer a listening ear on your blog! I hope you enjoy all your reads.
Oh no. Blast 2015 for not getting in line. Hopefully things will settle down π I’m trying the whole listening thing too. It’s rather slow going but have found a couple fun ones π
You getting all emotional? Really? I know what you mean about audiobooks. I haven’t been in the mood for them lataly. I hope I can get back into them soon.
Ooh The Start of Me and You! I do hope you love it, Christy. That cover is simply gorgeous >.<
Have a lovely week, hun <33
ooooh, I got the 27 Club too!! π I haven’t started Naughty Bits by Joey Hill, but you DNF’d it? Oh no!! I keep looking at it, thinking I need to start it, I just haven’t gotten to it. And I totally want to read Never Never. Colleen posted a video of her singing “Blank Space” kind of to Tarryn, and Taryn was just rolling her eyes. Did you see it? I laughed so hard, I think I watched it like 3 times.
Naughty Bits was boring. I stopped at 30% because all it’s all the woman being annoying in her head. I’m going to message you, because I can’t find the video.
You know, I was pretty good with the freebie’s. I think it was because I was away and wasn’t on the internet, other than checking emails! Welcome to 2015!!
