Holy cow it’s April-and my birthday is coming up.  How exciting is that? Well, I love reading, so I’m happy that the April challenge (which overlaps my birthday) is a reading one.  Are you ready to dig in?  This challenge is a year-long challenge with a new theme each month hosted by myself and Chasing My Extraordinary.  Read about the entire challenge HERE.

My Challenge Goals This Month

I’m challenging myself to focus more on reading and less on the TV I watch and other distractions.  I want to listen to at least three audio books and read at least one physical book off my TBR shelf (yes, I have a literal TBR bookshelf with probably about 50 books I’ve purchased but not read on it!)  I also want to finish my eBook, the second Outlander book I’ve been dragging out way too long.

Link Up With Us

Link up any related posts with us this month hear.  Don’t forget that Kenzie and I will be featuring our favorite posts at the end of the month.  Check out my features from last month HERE.  Don’t forget to include the button with the code above.

  • Love this link up! I have been reading like a crazy person lately. My kindle is basically an appendage. Excited to follow along and get some good recs!

  • claire

    I've really slowed down on my reading since I started blogging, as I read loads of blogs!!

  • Blogs are good reading too! I feel that the older I get the less time I have for reading, which sucks.

  • Awesome, so glad you'll be joining us!

  • Megan Bean

    I can't really get into audio books. I also get sad that I've been using my tablet to download books instead of buying the physical copies, I just have no where left to store my books, I have bin fulls!

    I am going to try to read more this month. I love reading but it has taken me over 4 months to read The Best Yes and I am only HALF WAY THROUGH! yikes. "/

  • Alisha Webster

    I really feel like I would be cheating on this one haha. I run a book blog, at 40 books this year already…

  • Ashleigh

    I'm stopping by from The Blogger Life on Fb and glad I did! I love this link up as I'm always looking for more books to read!

    Please come share this and link up with me at http://www.wrightsimply.com/2015/03/wordless-wednesday-linky-plus-easter-fun.html

    Have a great night! xx Ashleigh @SimplyWright

    I definitely have to read more. I can't remember the last time I picked up a piece of reading material for pleasure. I'm a new follower of yours. Happy postings!

  • Thanks for following! 😀 I hope you can get a chance to read more-I feel that pain-life gets to crazy to just read for pleasure.

  • No way-it's totally not cheating. Join in and have fun, set yourself a goal that's a little higher than normal if you want to. 🙂

  • I know that pain. It's taken me about that long to get through The Dragonfly in Amber Outlander book. :-/

  • You gotta do what you gotta do! haha-Audio books have just been a life saver for me since my commute is 45 minutes each way.

  • Starla

    What a fun song. Lately I have been reminiscing of my past and listening to alot of Sublime! I love them!

    I love your challenges! I am just realizing that you do a different one each month! I need to play closer attention! I have a goal to read books this month, but don't have any posts planned. Can't wait to see what the challenge is for next month!

  • Thank you! Next month is Random Acts of Kindness. 🙂

  • Laurajj Jacobson

    I love listening to the Goo Goo dolls and One Direction! I love the songs that seem to bring a sense of peace over me!!!
