A Bookworm Post: 2015 Wrap Up, 2016 Reading Goals.

Hello my beautiful readers, I am sorry that this post is very late but unfortunately my laptop has been playing up so I was unable to post this any sooner. I do have good news though and that is I should be getting a new laptop very soon, now lets get on to my 2015 wrap up and 2016 reading goals post. 


Last year I read 10 books and yes I know what your thinking only 10!! That's ridiculous but there is a reason for that. I suffer from multiple health problems that have no cure so to manage the symptoms I have to take certain medications and these medications cause side effects which in turn means I am not able to read that quick or that well. 

 Right that's the explaination out of the way now lets get on. Below you will find all ten books that I read last year with my rating out of 5, I will also post the link to the books goodreads page that way you can read the synopsis and find out what other people thought about the book.

 My 2016 Reading Goals

 So for this coming year I have set myself a realistic goal of 20 books. As I mentioned previously medication effects my brain so a much I would love to set a higher goal I think 20 is going to be a struggle for me especially if I finally get round to reading the Game of Thrones books which are very long books and I also own a book called A Discovery of Witches which is 704 pages.

 What are your reading goals for this year?


 Well that is it for today, I hope you have enjoyed today's post and if you have any comments, questions or feedback then leave it in the comment section below. Until my next post remember to stay happy and positive.

Steam Autumn Sale Haul

Well hello my beautiful friends how are you all doing today? Well for this blog post I thought I would share with you my purchases from the Steam Autumn Sale, which happend back in late November (yes, I am late again). I don't think I have really mentioned on here but I am a PC gamer, I started off as aPlaystation gamer and I owned a PS 1, 2 and 3 but just over a year ago I switched to pc gaming and last month I finally had saved enough money to buy a good gaming pc.  Enough about my gaming history lets move on the haul.  1) Call of Duty "Call of Duty® delivers the gritty realism and cinematic intensity of World War II's epic battlefield moments like never before - through the eyes of citizen soldiers and unsung heroes from an alliance of countries who together helped shape the course of modern history." I didn't start playing Call of Duty until I got my PS3 so I missed out on the the first couple of COD's but due to me being extremely int...

Hello everyone and a bit about me

Image
Hello my beautiful reades and welcome to my blog. For my very first post I thought why not introduce myself and tell you a bit more about myself. So my name is Leona, I am 26 years old and I was born and raised in Scotland. Unfortunately at age 11 I was diagnosed with an incurable illness called Crohn's. :( I hate being a sick person as my severe form of Crohn's has affected the way I live my life but without it I would never have discovered my  love for makeup, fashion and blogging. :)  I think the reason why I love makeup and fashion so much is, it lets my creative side come out plus sometimes it is the only way to make myself feel better when I am ill. I would really love to become a professional makeup artist and one of the things on my to do list is to attend the Illamasqua Professional Make Up Artist course.  I aim to post as many blog posts as I can but sometimes because my health can become very rubbish I have to spend time in hospital and...
