Calling all book lovers!
I’m setting myself a reading challenge for 2017 and I’d love for you to join me.
I know what it’s like to be a busy mum (ie not have much time for reading), so I’ll only include 12 books in the challenge. However, I’ll include an additional six books for those of you who will have no problem smashing through 12 books in one year.
I used to be an avid reader and would easily read one book straight after another but now that I am a chronic migraine sufferer, I find it hard to read as often as I would like to.
I can’t wait to get started on this challenge though, and hopefully find some new favourites that I just can’t put down.

Let me know if you’re joining me in the comments below (put your book titles in the comment section NOT the URL field) and feel free to come back and list the books you read throughout the year and let us know if you enjoyed them or not.
One of the most compelling books I’ve ever read.
Profound and disturbing all in one.
Once finished the book stayed with me for weeks. Left me pondering life and nature versus nurture:
Thouroughly recommend this book. One of the best I’ve ever read !!!
I’ve never heard of “We Need To Talk About Kevin” by Lionel Shriver before but I’m putting it on my list, thanks for the recommendation Erica.
Pre having my girls I loved reading but somehow now don’t seem to find the time.. my girlfriends recommended this is & I had trouble putting it down. Soon to come to Foxtel too in 2017 I think.
I haven’t read Big Little Lies, but I do have some other Liane Moriarty books on my bedside, waiting to be read.
Love to start the challenge. Always on the hunt for something different to read.
