TOP 5: BOOKS I WANT TO RE-READ

This year I set as one of my reading goals to re-read at least 5 books. Here are the books I am planning to re-read this year.

The Watcher in the Shadows by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

I really can't even remember what this book is about, but when I read it I gave it four out of five stars. I'm really curious to discover again why I did so.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

To be honest, when I first read this book I didn't quite like it but back then I wasn't strong enough on my opinion to give it the rating that back then I would have wanted to give it. I would like to re-read this book and give it my full and honest opinion. 

Counting by 7's by Holly Goldberg Sloan

I really loved this book when I first read it, but now cant' remember much of the details of what this was about. I can't wait to re-read it this year!

The Rabbit Back Literature Society by Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläinen

To be honest, when I first read this I didn't have a clue what was going on in this book. It was so hard for me to understand and although I finished it, I didn't understand anything of this book. Time to give this another chance!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

I read the first 5 Harry Potter books almost a dozen of times. But I can only remember reading the last two books just one time. I can't wait to re-read the whole serie and especially the last two!

2017 READING GOALS

Hi everyone!

A couple of months ago I posted about my midyear reading goals. I talked about some thing I wanted to reach by the end of this year. Unfortunately on most point I didn't succeed as much as I would have liked to. Setting the reading goals dit however inspire me, and really kept me wanting to make progress. That's why I decided that for 2017, I wanted to make some more reading goals. Here they are:

5 RE-READS:

I want to re-read at least 5 books. 

6 HISTORICAL FICTION:

Historical fiction is slowly becoming my favourite genre and I want to discover more of it.

 5 DUTCH FICTION:

I want to read at least 5 Dutch books!

8 TRANSLATED FICTION:

I would really like to read more diverse and I want to read at least 8 translated books.

3 MAGICAL REALISM:

I only ever read one or two books of magical realism, but I really enjoyed those. In 2017 I would really like to discover more of this genre.

3 NON-FICTION:
I also want to start to read a little non-fiction every now and then. At least three in 2017 would be great.

5 POETRY:
I would love, love to read more poetry!

4 CLASSICS:
I would like to read a few classics next year!

12 MY WISHLIST - RANDOMLY SELECTED:

I want to select a book from my wishlist through a random name picker each month. 

12 - MY WISHLIST - IN ORDER (FROM TOP OR BOTTOM):

I also want to pick one book from my wishlist in the correct order each month. Can be chosen from the top or bottom.

This year I had set my goal to read 65 books which I succeeded. In 2017 I would like to bump up this goal by a bit and set it to 70!  Blog-wise I would like to upload at least 4 reviews a month and post more consequent. 

Lastly for myself, I want to make an Excel file and write down some statistics of all the books I read in 2017. For example: where is the author from, where is the book set, is the author male or female, etcetera. 

What are your reading goals for 2017?
