Now I find myself seeking out retellings of it!<br /><br />Happy New Year!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746631124966726182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-13378814444011809502018-01-17T16:15:15.545-05:002018-01-17T16:15:15.545-05:00Happy New Year!

Hope 2018 is treating you well so far.<br /><br />I'm slowly getting around to visiting back but haven't put myself under too much pressure yet until I get home at the end of the month!<br /><br />Your goals all sound great and I hope you manage to achieve them all! Reading challenges are such fun however I never seem to participate in them! I like reading about them though and thinking what I would use on my TBR. 🤣<br /><br />Talking about travelling sounds like fun too - I love seeing stories about bloggers irl.. I think that's why I also love weekly round up posts - because generally there's a little about the person behind the blog included too! And that makes the connection feel far more personal. <br /><br />My favourite classic is Pride and Prejudice (I'm a bit cliche but I do love it!). Also the audio book idea is a good one - I wish I had more audio book time!<br /><br />Looking forward to catching up on more of what's been going on this year! Hope you are having a great week.

I think my brain's going. Lol. <br /><br />I like your goals, Angela! I admit I have a bit of a phobia when it comes to reading challenges, though - they always stress me out and I get overwhelmed with pressure, even I'd they're supposed to be relaxing and done at your own pace. I just get worked up over the very idea of the word "challenge". Haha. But good on you! Hope you manage to do them and have fun! <br /><br />Amy @ <a href="https://amagicalworldofwords.blogspot.co.za/" rel="nofollow">A Magical World Of Words</a>Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412158036738231881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-8548253652081853142018-01-07T20:19:32.431-05:002018-01-07T20:19:32.431-05:00Ah, that's a good goal!

And I'm also doing (and hosting) a backlist challenge; there are so many older books, from books that came out a few years ago to classics several hundred years old, that I haven't read but have wanted to.

Good luck! I like reading people's monthly recaps too, but I do a weekly myself. I found the type of audiobooks that work for me and I love them. My library allows borrows through Hoopla and that site has a decent selection of audiobooks without the wait of Overdrive. I usually listen to one a week, which helps knock some books off my TBR.
