2014 Reading Challenge of 60 books CONQUERED!



Hey guys! I have some huge news to share! I finally completed my goal of reading 60 books in 2014. I'm extremely proud of myself because I only started reading in end-March (yes I know I know) and I finished reading all 60 books by November! YAY! This means I took 8.5 months to read 60 books! WHOA! Honestly because I was in a reading slum for nearly half a year to a year, I didn't expect myself to be able to reach this goal! 

The following list of books are the books that I have read this year. However, they are in no particular order because I completely forgot which books I read when. On a side note, I thoroughly enjoyed all the books that I have read and feel that this has indeed been a fulfilling reading year for me! Now on to the list:
