Updates for 2015 reading challenge!

So I have decided that instead of reviewing my books for this challenge every time I finish one that I will review all my books for the previous month in one blog. 
So for January I will review them at the beginning of February!
The only exception will be when I am reviewing one of them from my blogging for books which the next book will be The Barefoot Queen & I will be starting it the first week in Febuary. 
Happy Reading my Bookworms!

A bit of my childhood comes back

I absolutely loved the choose your own adventure books when I was growing up. I even pick some of them up now, at least the adult ones, the last being a zombie one which did not  pan out well for me but I loved it. 
I also love Neil Patrick Harris so combine the two and you are in for one hell of a ride that you can go back to time & time again. 
I received this book free from blogging for books for an honest review.

2015 reading challenge!


I'm doing this! Have 1 book crossed off already starting on the second! Keep it here for all the reviews. I have finished Child 44 & will be reviewing it in the next week when I get a minute. Just know I scored it 5 out of 5 stars!!

Review

It's the new year and like everyone else I've made my resolutions. One being to finally get my house uncluttered! 
I had seen this book pop up on my bloggingforbooks site but it would not open for me to review. 
I waited & waited until the one day it finally did & I snapped it up right during the holidays! 
Perfect I thought. I can go through my house throw away the obvious stuff while I wait for the book to grace my doorstep. 
Well I did not go through my house because it was the holidays & I was busy but no matter once I did get the book I would know where to start. 
So imagine my disappointment to find that the book read like an autobiography and not a how to. 
I came away feeling like I read a book about a woman with OCD that liked to throw away other people shit. 
As a book lover I cringed (she said I would, at least that part was right) at the fact that she wanted you to throw all your books on the floor & only keep the ones that "sparked joy". They all spark joy that is why they are there! 
If I went by her spark joy theory on clothing I would be walking around naked constantly because I would have none left. 
Although I found the majority of the book unhelpful I did find some other parts helpful and may implement them in my decluttering practices. 
For this reason I choose to split the stars down the middle 2.5 out of 5.
I am curious if any of you have already read the book and what your thoughts were? 
I received this book free from bloggingforbooks.org for a fair and honest review.
