This post is merely to say Goodbye 2015, where has the year gone and Hello 2016! It’s for me to share what my most anticipated reads are as well as things to come in the new year. One particular one I’m very excited to share very soon. It’s been quite a year for 2015 both reading and personally too and I can’t wait for 2016. Some great books to come and I’ve got myself a new strategy in order to read many more ARCs I receive as well. I have created a Book Journal where I record all the books I’ve read but now decided to add all the book I have received and put them in date order then I can base my reading on that. But I want to be more flexible with it too so I don’t get too stressed and also just enjoy the ride of reading and blogging. So far it’s working a treat so I hope to continue it.
My bookclub is celebrating it’s 1 year anniversary and I’m very proud of it. Some changes are coming to it to make it more easier and less stressful to organise. I’m hoping to read all the books that get selected as I had a hard time trying to motivate myself in some months last year. *hangs head in shame* If your interested then do let me know.
Anyways enough of me babbling, shall we get on with my most anticipated of 2016… I think so:

- Bout of Books which you all know by now, it’s a one week read-a-thon to read a many of your books as possibly, it’s been a success and I hope to read a total of 3 books in one week. But hopefully more than that. Here is the list I am hoping to successfully read. I have a SST post at the end of the month for The Possibility of Now, The Raging Light is a highly anticipated book of 2016, and is my ARC of the challenge and then Pretty Little Liars, I have recently got Netflix and the first series I’m watching is, you guessed it, PLL! Can’t wait.

- The second challenge is obviously the Goodreads 2016 Reading Challenge, although sadly I didn’t complete it
thislast year I’m still going to stick with my goal of 75 and really crack on with it. Lastly, I wrote a post for it which is Sarah’s #RockMyTBR! If you want to see the post then click here and here is my GR shelf for the reads I hope to take off my TBR.
Happy New Year, Emma! Yay for the reading challenges you have coming up. I'm doing the Goodreads one for the first time. I'm aiming for 100. π

Happy new year and good luck with your goals this year Emma! I love that idea of planning out the books got want to read and everything.
Thank you Jeann! Happy New Year!
I'm so happy that 2015 was a good year for you! Hope your book club thrives! I'm not acquainted with any Cecelia Ahern books (yes, I hang my head in shame), but Flawed sounds amazing!! Happy new year! π

Flawed does sound amazing doesn't it! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I actually haven't read anything by Morgan Matson but I'm super excited for it. Not just because it has dogs on the cover, what? *nervous laughter*
You haven't read anything by her!!!! :O You need too. Happy New Year!
Sounds very organized and achievable! I wish you great success in all your endeavors this year, dear Emma π
Thank you Ramona! And to you too!
I need When We Collided in my life right now! I've heard that it's a bit different than Emery's previous two books, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the change. π
Me too! Can't wait to read it! π
OMG PS I Like You has a cover?? It's very adorable in Kasie West fashion. I am very excited about When We Colided as well! A little bumbed it doesn't completely match the prev. two covers, though.
Yes. I can't wait to read either of these.
Some great books coming out this year. I am really looking forward to Kasie West and Katie McGarry's novels. Great post, Emma!
