Re: 2016 Yearly Goal
I use goodreads to keep track, but would love to join you!
My goal is 40, 10 of which must be non-fiction/classics:
Read so far:
1. a girly romance whose title escapes me 2. The New Me - still not sure how I feel it's so good. 3. A Shade of Vampire- YA novel, but now I want to know what happens next in the series

Re: 2016 Yearly Goal
I'm going for 25
1. After You - Jojo Moyes really enjoyed it. I thought it was a great follow up to Me before You 2. The Daylight Marriage - Heidi Pitlor didn't like this book at all. Almost didn't finish it. 3. Big Little Lies - Liane Moriarty Liked this a lot. Would definitely recommend it. 4. The Girl in 6E - A.R. Torre eh..this was OK. Was hoping for much more. 5. Lethal -- Sandra Brown 6. Tumbleweeds -- Lelia Meacham 7. Lost Lake -- Sarah Addison Allen 8. The Night Sister -- Jennifer McMahon recommend by daughter. Could've done without reading it 9.The Winter People -- Jennifer McMahon . See The Night Sister 10. The Last Anniversary -- Liane Moriarty I enjoyed it. Laughed out loud a few times. 11. Three Wishes -- Liane Moriarty I enjoyed it like I have all her books 12.The Arrivals -- Meg Mitchell Moore zzzzzzzzzzz 12. Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness -- Susannah Cahalan This was a true story and terrifying that it can happen with no reason. 13. Saint Anything -- Sarah Dessen I didn't realize this was a young readers book. It was good and an easy read.

MsSissy, did you read the Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty? We read both for book club and liked the second one even more.

2016 Yearly Goal
Yay! So glad this was started again this year. I started it the past 3 years (I think) but having a newborn makes it difficult to read. So my goal is low maybe 10 for now.

A Shade of Vampire- YA novel, but now I want to know what happens next in the series 4. cleopatra - h.r. haggard - one of my "classics" for this year. It was a good story, but not very historical. 5. our lady and the church- by hugo rahner- really enjoyed it 9in an academic sort of way) 6. the lycan society- weak plot and story, not proofread at all. (i read the kindle version)
