Berls @ Fantasy is more fun and I are recapping 2016
and looking ahead to 2017, for the next 12 days.
Feel free to join us!
I’ll be sharing highlights month-by-month and giving you a peak at what’s ahead in 2017.
out with the OLD: 2016
This month was a rough month with my son, his meds were messing him up a little bit, we didn’t realize until the next couple of months that it was the meds for sure. He still has outbursts but has gotten a lot better, just dealing with other stuff. I was still slumping, I took a few breaks this month and we even had a new challenge planned for August! Berls and I can’t seem to stop creating challenges. This was a crazy idea of mine and she loved it so we planned to try it out. The Challenge was in August and a few people did really well, I failed my own challenge but we decided doing it during COYER was not a good idea. So we will try again next year…speaking of challenges.
in with the NEW: 2017
I think I am going to change up my challenges this year and still do the read-a-thons I usually do. I will have a challenge post up at some point in the next few days.
This is a list of all the challenges I plan to do this year…
Most are linked, some are not.

I am pretty sure I am missing a few. I wanted to try and join a few more Read-a-thons. I actually like them but never seem to do good with them. This year I want to try a little more to do better. If I can accomplish being ahead I might be able to participate more in the Rats. And more RATs will be more reading and more reading is a good thing for a review blog. 🙂

Good group of challenges! 🙂
I need to read the Ashley MacNamara book! I read one of hers ages ago and liked it but none of the other blurbs have really grabbed me so I quit looking at her books. Your enthusiasm is catching for this one! I’m intrigued by that 24 in 48 challenge too. I don’t think I really understood it when I first saw people talking about it but now that I do it looks way easier to work in than Dewey. Hope July 2017 is fantastic!
