“Wooooah, we’re halfway there”…Sorry, I just had a spontaneous Bon Jovi moment.
We are, in fact, about halfway through the year now. Close enough to it, anyway. This seems like a good time to do a mid-year check in in terms of my 2018 reading goals.
Goodreads Challenge: My goal is to read at least 40 books this year. As of yesterday, I’ve read 20. “Woooooah, we’re half…” Err, sorry. I swear I’m done. So far I’m doing pretty good with my goal.
Favorite Reads:
- Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman
- Robots vs. Fairies (Anthology)
- To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo
Like the JBJ reference.

Bon Jovi, 80’s poodle perm rock to the extreme! 🙂

I was such a Bon Jovi fan in high school! Considering my hair kinda had that big, fluffy poodle thing going on, I guess it was appropriate. 😛

I used to like Bon Jovi too, can’t beat a bit of cheesy poodle perm rock.👍

Except for TKAK (read it, loved it) this whole thing is an extract of my TBR… Great idea for a post though. *silently slips post into pocket when no one is looking, then realizes everyone saw the attempted thievery, and runs*

I might be the only person who pretty much disliked to kill a kingdom. So much that I abandoned it and am not going to do a blog post. The world building rules didn’t make sense and it bothered me. Glad I borrowed that one and saved some loot. And surprisingly I have read nothing else on this list! Though the rest of the list is on the ports for plunder list. Just not high priority at the moment. Fun post!

I enjoyed To Kill a Kingdom for various reasons, but I do admit that it had some flaws. Despite them, I was still intrigued by the sirens and their world. It was definitely one of the better Little Mermaid re-tellings I’ve read.
