I chose this broken heart photo to describe my book for multiple reasons. After an incident with Abel, Cath is very upset and heart broken. Also her relationship with Wren makes her feel terrible since Wren is her sister.
"Cath took a slow breath. She felt lightheaded and strained, like something too big was hatching inside her ribs."

My 2014 goal was to read 2 books/week, or 104 books. By some miracle, I exceeded my goal by reading 155 books in 2014. Now I’m trying to decide what my 2015 challenge will be. I want to be realistic but I also want to push myself a little. Decisions, decisions!
How do you determine your reading goals for the year?
