Introduction

I've been trying some new things this year and one of the things that I really wanted to do was start a blog. However, I had no idea what I would write about. It is only recently that I have found something that I am passionate enough to write about. You may have guessed it already but it's books.

 I have been in love with books since before I could actually read. My nursery teacher used to say that if they ever couldn't find me the first place they would look was the reading corner. She said that I could always be sat in the big wicker chair in the corner making up my own stories to fit with the pictures in the book. My family all say that I always have my nose in a book too and to be perfectly honest, they are probably right.

I guess I have my mum to blame for my love of reading. I mean she even named me Emily because she loved Emily Bronte so much. I grew up surrounded by all of my mum's books and I was determined that one day I would have the number of books that my mum has. I've been consciously collecting my books for about 10 or 11 years now and I am still nowhere near the amount that she has (I'm a little bit jealous). 

2015 Reading Challenge

I was looking for a suitable goal to set my myself for the number of books I should read this year when I found the 2015 reading challenge. I thought that this would be a good way to widen my horizons with the books that I read. This is the challenge;

All that I have done for the challenge so far is decide what books I am going to read for each of the different challenges. I will post a copy of my list on here so that you know what books I plan on reading. I am not going to complete the challenges in order but I am going to try to do all of them and record my progress on here so that I will know when I have completed it and what I thought of all of the books.
