2016 New to You Reading Challenge

November 29, 2015
New To You Square
New To You Reading Challenge hosted by Herding Cats & Burning Soup. This is a new challenge I’m taking part of and I definitely look forward to keeping up with it.
I love finding new authors, new genres, new series, etc. to read. Thanks to my local library this challenge will be easy to find new authors, new genres, new series, etc.
Levels in the Challenge

Level 1 (Sunbathing): 6 books
Level 2 (Dipping the Toes): 12 books
Level 3 (Wading In): 25 books
Level 4 (Going for a Swim): 50 books
Level 5 (Diving In): 75 books
Level 6 (Cannon ball! ALL in!): 75+ books
For the challenge I’m going for Level 1 (Sunbathing) at first. I’ll most likely move it up to Level 2 (Dipping the Toes) after the New Year starts.
I’m going to be adding my books I read/review to my Goodreads Shelf I created for the challenge.

Owner/Reviewer at A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
