Skulls and Coffee

My goal for 2014 was 75 books. After reading only 35 books in 2013 (which was a dramatic drop from 115 in 2015), I kept my goal reasonable and only bumped it up from 50 when I was close to meeting that goal.
 
I have struggled in finding my reading mojo for nearly a year and half. Thankful, it seems to be back and not only am I excited to be reading again, it seems that I have a plan that works for me.
 
This was the perfect book to end my challenge. Now, I'll probably finish a book or two between here and New Years, but it feels like I've completed the race. If I finish more, great. If I don't finish any more books, then that's also great.
 
This entry into Harry Potter in many ways, is a turning point. Harry will continue with school, but Voldemort isn't an empty threat anymore. The threat and the danger isn't necessarily tied to school antics and tests. The books from here on out get darker, and the threat gets more real. This is the turning point in this series from school fun and games.
 
I've read a lot of lighter stuff this year-series and kids books. Now, like young Mr. Potter, it's time to start delving into the harder stuff, the darker stuff.  I can't wait for the new year, new books, and to finish my reread of Mr. Potter.
