I love reading. In 2011, I started the reading challenge on Goodreads. Each year I like to read more than I did the year before. I think I have done extremely well this year over last year's amount of books. I wonder what 2015 will hold with the number of books I read.
2011- 33 books.
2012- 54 books
2013- 68 books
2014- so far 97 books
Reading is what I look forward to. Each book I read takes me somewhere else. A small town, who loves to help each other. A group of friends looking out for one another. Somewhere a lot happier than where I am. I am not saying that I am not happy. I am saying that it helps me forget that Ashleigh is losing her ability to walk.
I finished this series was The Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel this year by Jennifer Bernard. I love how the author wrote about Firemen. Can you imagine your grandmother winning a Bachelor auction for you? Melissa and Brody became a favorite of my from the start. I also fell in love with Melissa's grandmother. I still need to read The Night Belongs to a Fireman (#6) and It's a Wonderful Firemam (#7).
The second new series I read this year was Virgin River Series by Robyn Carr. I love the town, the people, and the newcomers that come to town, but never leave (well, some do leave). My favorite couple is Jack and Melinda. I love how she came to Virgin River to get away from her past, not looking to fall in love, and ended up finding a whole new life for herself. Another couple I love is Vanessa and Paul. It is so sad that Vanessa lost her husband, Matt, but Paul was always there for her.

I have wanted to read the Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis and I am in book #10, Once in a Lifetime. I still have He's So Fine (#11) and One in a Million (#12) to read. Can you imagine coming to a town that everyone knows everything about each other? This series started with 3 sisters, who barely know each other coming together because they lost their mother and they inherited a Bed and Breakfast.
I fell in love with the Piper Anderson series by Danielle Stewart. This was a new author I started reading because her first book, Chasing Justice, was free on Amazon at the time. I was hooked before I was done with the first chapter. I fell in love with Piper, who wants a normal life, but things keep getting in the way of that. Betty is a wonderful character that everyone goes to when they need some help.
Have you read any series this year? Read any books this year that you love? I plan to do a blog post about Romance Books that I have not wrote about here.
