2019 Reading Challenge

(Source: Kelsey Darling)

On August 26, 2019, I achieved my Goodreads 2019 Reading Challenge of forty books. It took a little longer than I thought it would, but I had a lot going on this year between graduating, taking on a second job, health issues, and moving. But it makes sense that as everything finally calmed down, I finished my challenge. Now I have the rest of the year to make it through what ever book my little heart desires. I am curious to see how many more books I can get in in the remaining four months. But without further ado, here are the books I read this year. Books that are bold are books I highly recommend.

1. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
2. The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
3. The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien
4. The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien

I am excited to see what other books I will read through the rest of the year. Right now, I really do not know. I'll probably try and work my way through my Book of the Month books because that collection is getting a little out of hand. Thank you all for joining me on this journey! Every view is greatly appreciated!
