What's new with Ashleigh?

It probably comes as no surprise that I love to read. For the past few years, I have jined the Goodreads Reading Challenge with the goal of reading a book a week. I have managed it the past two years.

This year, I am changing my goals slightly. I do a lot of beta reading, so I am still aiming to read 52 books this year, my goal is for less than half of that to be beta reads. You can track my progress on the sidebar of my website.

But reading is always more fun when I'm doing it with others, so I would like to start a reading challenge.
