End of Year Update

My reading goal for this year was originally 15. I moved it up to 20 in the summer and I ended up reading 28 books this year. That probably isn’t a lot to most people, but I work 6 days a week and often work 8-10 days straight. I’ll take it!

I’m still working on unhauling my books and cleaning up my tbr. I see a few people on here do the “Down the TBR Hole” posts, but does anyone else just do a mass delete at the end of the year? I just deleted any Kindle book from my Amazon wishlist that had been on there for longer than 5 years (Added in 2018 or earlier) and removed them from my Want to Read shelf on Goodreads. There were 41. I’ve also gotten rid of a few more physical books since my last post about unhauling. Of course, I’ve purchased more too.

My main reading goals for 2024 are:

-Read 20 Books

-Stick to a book buying ban

What are your reading goals for next year? Do you set reading goals?

Out of Tune (A Riley Donovan Mystery #3) by Norah McClintock

This is the third book in the Riley Donovan mystery series, but it can be read as a standalone. Riley will make a good detective when she gets older, but her snooping got her into trouble a few times since she’s a high school kid.

I almost put this short book down in the first chapter because of how annoying the character Ashleigh is. She complains, whines and makes rude comments throughout the entire book. A few characters are written this way and it makes the characters seem like they’re about 10 years old instead of high schoolers. I figured out the killer and that person made much more sense than the person who was originally accused.

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
