I have decided to reduce the number of books I read over the next six months because I haven't managed to get anywhere near to reading two books a month so far this year. So my new re-amended 2019 reading list is as follows;

It's the beginning of July already!! Where is the year going?  I'm sure the years speed up as we get older ...

As it's halfway through the year, it's time to evaluate how I'm going with my 2019 goals and reading list.  As before, if the text is struck through, then I accomplished that goal or completed that book. 

On Friday it was my birthday. I'm not one to be the centre of attention so don't really do big parties or gatherings for it. One time a few years ago a couple of my friends threw me a small three-person (including me) birthday celebration which they did about two weeks before my birthday and they made me believe it was just going to be an afternoon of catching up. Very sneaky but it was unbelievably nice of them to do that.

Now we are three months into 2019, I thought it was time to review my 2019 goals and reading list.

I have over twenty-five books on my bookshelves that I haven't got around to reading yet, so this year I made a promise to myself that I can't buy any more books this year until I've read those on this list. It's as if I'm afraid of running out of things to read! I wrote a list of the books I own and haven't managed to read yet and then I picked two a month to read over the upcoming year. Some books are novels, others autobiographical and the rest are inspirational books. I tried to pick a novel or autobiography and an inspirational one for each month, for a mixture of things to read. The list is as follows.

Here we are, the last week or the last five days of the August Break photo challenge.
