My Goals and Reading for Pleasure Goals for 2021

Hey everyone, Amber here!

We are at the end of 2020 which has been a crummy year for all of us due to the plague and other horrible things that I look forward to enjoying the rest of December Blessings Month by reading and more.

So I was just curious. What are your goals and reading for pleasure goals you'd like to accomplish in the new year 2021? Let me know in the comments and feel free to follow me back.

Here are some of my goals:

*Continue to try 1 new thing everyday which I started that challenge back on my birthday September 26 until that date next year. Today was Day 69 so I did a Christmas Dance Workout. You can follow my challenge at http://ambertriesnewthings87.tumblr.com to keep track of my challenge.

* Continue my reading for pleasure challenge where I read 1 book or more every day from January 1 to December 31 (This includes books, ebooks and ARCs from authors/publishing companies on Netgalley and more)

*Make new friends (it's hard with social anxiety and autism)

*When it's safe to go to cons and travel again, would love to go back to MTAC and travel to Japan and other places I've never been to like California and more.

* Continue to manage the Reading for Pleasure book club on Goodreads with my other Book Club hosts there.

Those are all I can think of so far. I also hope to complete more series and trilogies off my TBR too like Wolf Hall and more.

I've read some awesome books so far so I'll post a list of my favorite books of 2029 and more book reviews and stuff soon.

Happy reading! ☺️📚

Book Review: The Way of the Sword by Chris Bradford

Book Review

The Way of the Sword by Chris Bradford

Started November 26,2020

Finished November 30,2030

Final Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jack Fletcher is back in a brand new adventure. After being adopted by Samurai Warrior Masamoto who runs a Samurai school, Jack tries to fit in and to survive against those who bully and prejudice against him for being different as well as try to master the arts of the Samurai. Will he survive all of the trials set out before him? Read on and find out for yourself.

This is the second installment of the Young Samurai series that I started a few years ago but stopped when I couldn't find any more books at my local library and realized that it wasn't a completed series. Now I have found them at my local ebooks library and with the series now completed, I can continue this series. If you like Samurai, Ninjas, stories about school and surviving, be sure to check out this YA middle grade series out at your local library and wherever books and ebooks are sold.

This is book 113 of 150 of my Goodreads Reading challenge and reading for pleasure goal as well as my final read for November. I'll be starting my December reads shortly so look for more reviews and other reading posts soon. I post all my book reviews on Goodreads too.

Enjoy and happy reading!

December 2020 TBR and short Reading Introduction!

Hey everyone! I'm Amber and I love reading for pleasure. I love to write book reviews for fun and also run the Reading for Pleasure book club on Goodreads so if you are an adult 18 and over, be sure to check us out. I plan to get back to my ARC read for review requests from authors and Netgalley starting back in January. Just taking a short hiatus so I can complete my reading for pleasure challenge this year. My goal is 150 books and I'm only at 113 now.

Here's a Tentative December TBR of books I hope to get too starting December 1st. I'll post my book reviews here and on Goodreads of books I finish:

December 2020 TBR

1. Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake-This is the final book of the Anna Dressed in Blood YA Duoloy which is about a young boy named Case who is a ghost hunters who kills ghosts. I enjoyed the first installment so I look forward to finishing the series in December.

That's all I have planned for now but hope to finish more series and trilogies off my ebooks e-reader shelf of books I started reading a while ago. Definitely want to finish the Wolf Hall trilogy and the Young Samurai series by Chris Bradford which are ones I recently started but haven't finished yet.

At the end of the month I'll be posting my yearly wrap-up for my reading for pleasure challenge with the best reads of the year that I've read this year in 2020. Feel free to follow me and if you have any reading questions, let me know. My favorite author is Sherrilyn Kenyon aka Mcqueen and more. My favorite novels are The Eyes of the dragon by Stephen king, Thief of Always by Clive Barker, the Child Thief by Brom, Born of Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon, the Devouring by Simon holt and more. I read horror, fantasy, Ya, middle grade, paranormal romance and more.

Happy reading and I'll have more reading posts up later.

Thanks!
