This year I set my Goodreads goal at 50 books, and I surpassed that goal by reading 72! For this post I consulted my Goodreads Year In Books, I love how Goodreads breaks things down.

Inside My Minds 
Good job! You rocked it! And that graphic is awesome and totally personalized!
Thank you! I took screen shots and just put them together!
Good job!! That was smart! I was going to do that…it would have been easier than using the Snipping Tool on the computer!
Brilliant reading year, Ashley!! I’m glad you read lots of books that you enjoyed 😀 Hopefully 2017 will be a great year in reading for you too!!
I’m a big fan of Goodreads’s breakdown of books read throughout the year. Surpassing your goal by over twenty book is an amazing accomplishment, great job! And so many five star reads, Ashley, that means you must have had a stellar reading year. I hope your 2017 year in books is just as amazing if not more!
Thank you!!
I didn’t realize you’d read Life Unaware. I loved that book!! I keep meaning to read The Serefina series and just haven’t gotten around to it yet. Glad you had such a good reading year!
Yes, I loved it too. I felt the topic was so important. Thank you!!
I absolutely ate up The Selection series this year too. It’s another series that I would have never picked up if I hadn’t seen it in the blogging community.
Congrats on exceeding your goal! I can’t wait to see what you read next year. Happy New Year’s Eve!
Thank you, you too!
It looks like you had a really good year, judging from your five-star reads! A number of these are still on my TBR, including the Fantastic Beasts screenplay and JKR’s Pottermore stories.
Thank you, and the Pottermore series are really quick fun reads! I would also suggest seeing the the Fantastic Beasts movie before reading the screenplay.
I saw the movie a couple weeks back and it was great!
Oh perfect, you won’t be spoiled by reading the screenplay!
