2015 Reading Challenge January Update

So I read a lot during January...

I have one more book to read to finish the Lucky Harbor Series by Jill Shalvis.
This is a contemporary romance series set in Lucky Harbor. 
All of the books are about 300-350 pages long, 
I have read all of them in one sitting in about 3 hours or so. 
(I read fast, I'm not bragging.)

I was also lucky enough to receive Ally Carter's newest book All Fall Down in advance.
Now I was going to be able to go to her signing & launch part on January 20th in 
Tulsa, but I got sick :(

 (This is what I received in the mail!)

Here is my Bingo Card:


Here is what I've read for each square:

11. New Release One Book: All Fall Down by Ally Carter
20. Graphic Novel: Hawkeye, My Life as a Weapon
21. Series One Book: Forever & a Day by Jill Shalvis
22. Series Two Books: Once in a Lifetime and Always on my Mind by Jill Shalvis
23. Series Three Books: Head over Heels, Lucky in Love, 
and It’s in His Kiss by Jill Shalvis
24. Series Four Books:  Once in a Million, He’s So Fine, At Last, 
and Under the Mistletoe by Jill Shalvis
25. Series Five Books: The Sweetest Thing, Simply Irresistible by Jill Shalvis

As you can see I'm only showing what I've read. I'm almost done (kinda) with Five Books in a Series, so I showed what I've read so far. I decided to not plan out what I'm going to read this year. 
Hopefully it will help me complete my bingo card this year!


How are your reading challenges going?

Book Bingo 2015

I am going to try to complete the Book Bingo again this year. Since Kristilyn over at Reading in Winter isn't doing this challenge this year (she's doing a read locally challenge), I thought I'd create my own for 2015. 

I did change it up a bit, I personally struggled with the new releases so I reduced the number of new releases & added in some re-reads. I kept in the TBR & the Series columns & added in more genres!

So here is the scorecard:


Rules:

1. Have fun! 
2. The challenge runs for all of 2015, you can join at any time!
3. Each book can only count towards one square. No take backs!
4. Let me know if you're participating by commenting below. I'd love to know who all is!
5. I am going to updates every quarter on my progress.
6. A winning scorecard is one which is completely filled out,
otherwise known as a blackout!

Good Luck & Happy Reading!
