Changes to my Reading Life

This week’s Top 10 Tuesday prompt is changes to my reading life and it really made me stop and think and I’ve found there have definitely been a few changes throughout the years!

So these are my Top 5 Changes to my Reading Life:

blogStarting my blog was probably the biggest change to my reading life. I love expressing my opinions and reviewing the books that I have loved/hated!

Picture2I think this was one of the main changes that have occurred throughout the years as well. I used to only exclusively read YA fantasy books and series. Now I have definitely expanded my reading tastes to include more mystery, thriller, sci-fi and contemporary books!

Picture3Ever since I started my blog I’ve definitely upped my reading game. I used to only read 4-6 books a month and now I read around 10-12 books per month!

Picture4Goodreads has changed my life! I only started my Goodreads account in January 2018 and ever since it has been a staple. Finding new books, reading other people’s reviews, keeping up to date with new releases, everything!

Picture5I still mainly read physical books (paperbacks & hardbacks) but in the last few months I had been getting more into E Books and I have slowly dipped my toes into the world of Audio Books, not sure if it’s for me though.

🌸Book Covers that give me Spring Vibes🌼

This week’s Top 10 Tuesday prompt is Autumn vibes but since it is Spring over here in Australia, I thought I would list 5 books that give me spring vibes that I haven’t gotten around to picking up yet. I like listing all of the books that I am interested in but haven’t read because I feel it will make me prioritise them!

10 Popular Mystery/Thriller Books I Haven’t Read

I’ve slowly been dipping my toes into the Mystery/Thriller/Horror/Spooky genre over the last year but I am far from caught up with a lot of cult favorites! So when I seen this week’s prompt for Top 10 Tuesday I thought this was a perfect opportunity to list the top 10 most popular books in these genres that I haven’t read and I can make my way through the list and maybe this time next year I will have completed them all!
