2015 is coming and every reader is thinking for at least 1 month "WHAT THE HELL WILL I READ IN THE NEXT YEAR?!" because let's be honest, we want to read everything... the books we own, the books we don't... EVERYTHING!
So if you are like me you have a pretty long list of TBR books in your shelf... if you are like me you have a HUGE wishlist (books you really want to own, and probably read)... if you are like me you don't have time to do any of it! And because of that thing, because of that little tiny problem, reading goals and reading challanges came to our life and our houses (and goodreads).
I'm here today to show you my reading goal for 2015 and the challange I kind of accepted!
In 2014 I had the goal of reading 75 books and I ended up reading 80 books which were pretty surprising since I was not used to read before this year... in the beginning of 2014 my goal was to reach 50 books and then I read 50 books and I changed my goal to 70 books because it was like September or something and I thought that it was to early to finish the challange... I was almost reaching 70 books and I thought "NO, now I'm changing it again for the last time and I'm going to read at least 75 books this year"... and I did it, I read more than 75 books so yes, I completed my goal even if that's almost impossible to believe!

I'm going to talk a little about my life since I became a reader/reviewer so if you are not interesting in this conversation don't read the next paragraph.
I'm going to be totally honest here, I opened this blog in June I think, and I opened my goodreads accound in December of 2013. Before that I never liked to read, I have a ton of books written in my native language because, as you probably know, I'm portuguese (not brazillian, portuguese... like portuguese from Portugal you know?)... so every Christmas or every year in my birthday people used to give me books and I never liked to receive them because I was not going to read them since I didn't enjoyed doing it.
My mom always liked to read and my aunt always gave me books because my whole family LOVED to read, my whole family was living in their own world. I never understood why they loved so much books beause for me it was just paper and more paper... it was like people were killing trees in vain... I tried to read some times but I was not feeling it, so everytime my aunt was talking to my mom about books I was always bored because for me that was something "stupid", it was a totally waste of time because that was not the reality, they were talking about things that weren't real.
In December of the last year (2013) my dad gave to me a iPad because I was going to need it because of college... so I was bored and my mom said to me that I should read... and as always I said "NO". The things is, I have this dream, I always wanted to live in other country like England or United States, so in order to accomplish that I knew that I had to learn how to write and how to talk and how to understand the main language - english... so when I received the iPad from my dad I decided to start reading some english books in ebook format because even if I was having english in school, even if my mom was really good talking english since she borned in another coutry, I was not good at it, I understood if I read something but I was not capable of writting or talking english because I didn't know how to.
The first book I read was a New Adult book (and it was because of the cover, don't judge me!)... when I started reading that book I didn't know but it was a duology, so when I finished the first book I loved it so so so much that I had to read the second one, when I finished it I started reading another book and so on and so on.
So, that's my story, the story how I became a book nerd! I read like 6 or 7 books in the end of 2013 and when the new year came I discovered Book Depository and after that, Book Depository became my true love because it is the best site ever when it is about shopping books!

Ok, so talking about my 2015 reading goals/challange.
This next year I know that I'll not have time to read as much as I wanted to, I have a pretty much troubled schedule in college so it is going to be quite complicated.
I have a giant TBR list, I own a lot of phisical books and I want to read them all even if that's going to be almost impossible since I'm always buying more and more books!
SO, this next year my reading goal is going to be 50 books. I KNOW!!!! YOU DON'T NEED TO LAUGH SO HARD! I KNOW THAT 50 BOOKS IS A TINY AMOUNT!
The books I'm planning to read, even knowing that I'm going to get more books every single month and I'm going to replace the books I'm going to show you now for new books (because that's the way it it, that's the law of life) are:
