So I totally failed at doing the 12 days of bookmas challenge... I think we all knew that was going to happen XD Anyway, I might make a post talking about why I didn't finish that.
I have never really set reading goals, or done a TBR, but I decided to set some 2016 reading goals, to see how well I do. I have also some booktubers that have made a TBR jar, which I think sounds fun, so i'm going to try that out aswell. These are the challenges in the TBR jar:
1- Read a classic - I have never read a classic before, unless you count the books I have studied at school.
2- Read the first book in a currently uncompleted series - I only ever marathon series; I will probably write a post about this.
3- Read a book on my shelf that I have lost interest in - I own WAY too many unread books, some that I have lost interest in.
4- Read a book someone recommends to me
5- Read a random book on my shelf
6- read a book by an author with the same initials as me
7- Read the book I most want to read - OK, so maybe this is just an excuse for me to buy new books...
8- Read the last book I bought
9- Read a series
10- Read a stand alone
11- Read a fantasy book - I don't read enough of these!
12- Read a book with a movie adaptation
I also have a list of books I want to read this year:
1- The Keeper - David Baldacci
2- The Martian - Andy Weir
3- Carry On - Rainbow Rowell
4- Gone series - Michael Grant
5- The 5th Wave - Rick Yancey
6- Red Queen - Victoria Aveyard
7- The Elites - Natasha Ngan
8- Four - Veronica Roth
9- The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern
10- The Accident Season - Moira Fowley-Doyle
11- Legend series - Marie Lu
12- The Throne of Glass - Sarah J Mass
13- Anna and the French Kiss series - Stephanie Perkins
14- the Selection - Kiera Cass
15- Cinder - Marissa Meyer
16- Everything, Everything - Nicola Yoon
The TBR jar challenge I got for this month is to read a book on my shelf that I have lost interest in.
So, I hope I actually stick to this, but I've got my GCSE's this year, so i'm not making any promises...

So I decided to read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I bought it last year at a huge charity book sale, and it has just been sat on my bookshelf since. I didn't look at goodreads before buying it, and it turns out it has really bad reviews... oh well might as well try it :)
