There is no denying that I love to read.
If I have to thank anyone for my love of reading it would be my dad and my sister.
There was never a moment when they didn’t have a book in their hand.
As a kid, I read, but it wasn’t until after the birth of my kids, that I truly fell in love with reading again.
Every year I set a reading goal, and this year was no exception.

It’s a mixture of everything! From Young Adult to New Adult, to Non-Fiction to Contemporary.
Some books were crap and were well forgettable. Others well I couldn’t put down, they were SENSATIONAL! Yep, that good.
I especially enjoyed the Mister Series. If you love sexy/hot romance with suspense, then you’ll love this series.
The Once series, while considered a ‘kids’ series I found exceptional. Quite moving, and definitely a series I would recommend to any young reader from Grade/Years 4-7 (Ages 9-13)
It was also nice to revisit a book series that I have read before, which was Twilight. 2017 will see me reading Breaking Dawn. I would have finished it this year, but I HAD to finish the Mister series.
My 2017 reading goal has been set yet, as I honestly can’t think of a number. I don’t want to get too ambitious.
One thing is for certain, there will be more series, more re: reads, oh and definitely more from J.A Huss.
