2021 Reading Challenge

January 2 2021 By melbournemamma 12 Comments

Attention book lovers! I’ve set myself a reading challenge for 2021 and I’d love for you to join me.

I know what it’s like to be a busy mum (ie not have much time for reading), so I’ll only include 12 books in the challenge. However, I’ll also include an additional six books for those of you who will have no problem smashing through 12 books in one year.

As a chronic migraine sufferer, I don’t read as many books as I’d like too but thanks to an almost six-month lockdown here in Melbourne (#bloodycovid), I actually managed to read 30 books in 2020.

I’m not sure how this year will pan out, but I’m aiming to read 25 books this year.

You can see how I went in my 2020 reading challenge here.

10 Great Books for Tweens

June 21 2020 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

If you’ve been following me for a while, you will know that my daughter LOVES to read.

She showed a love of reading from a very young age and now that she is 12, she’s churning through books faster than I am.

As she’s gotten older, I’ve found it increasingly harder to find great books for tweens that are age appropriate. There seems to be a fine line between being suitable for 10-12 year olds and then suitable for teens (15+).

10 Books I Cannot Wait To Read in 2020

February 21 2020 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

I’ve got a pile of books next to my bed that never seems to get any smaller AND a list of books a mile long on Goodreads that I’ve been meaning to read for a long time. I figure that if I make a commitment here to read some of these books, then I will do it. So, here are 10 books I cannot wait to read in 2020.

I’m hoping some of these books will count towards my 2020 Reading Challenge that I published last month. PS. It’s not too late to join the challenge, so check it out.

2020 Reading Challenge

January 1 2020 By melbournemamma 4 Comments

Calling all book lovers! I’ve set myself a reading challenge for 2020 and I’d love for you to join me.

I know what it’s like to be a busy mum (ie not have much time for reading), so I’ll only include 12 books in the challenge. However, I’ll include an additional six books for those of you who will have no problem smashing through 12 books in one year.

As a chronic migraine sufferer, I don’t get to read as often as I’d like too but I’m pretty happy that I managed to read 17 books throughout 2019. For this year, I’m aiming to read 20 books.

See how I went in my 2019 reading challenge here.

2019 Reading Challenge

January 4 2019 By melbournemamma 31 Comments

Calling all book lovers! I’m setting myself a 2019 reading challenge and I’d love for you to join me.

I set myself this same challenge last year and I didn’t quite get through the list as I some of the books I read in my book club, didn’t meet any of the criteria that I had listed (didn’t plan that very well, did I?)

However, I did manage to read 14 books in 2018, which was a pretty good effort, considering I am a chronic migraine sufferer.

Anyway, this year I am determined to read all the books in the challenge as well as additional books in my book club.
