Kate (kaitlins16) I'm so glad I'm able to make a thread for this. I have a lot of reading goals for different groups and challenges, so it's nice to have a place to keep track of them.

My reading goal this year is to read 136 books (counting rereads and any novellas/short stories). It's a ton of books, but I know I can make it (though I am three books behind due to school).

Kate (kaitlins16) Reread and Review

Since I started leaving reviews for books this year, I've been wanting to go back and read a few books that I really liked. Er . . . make that a lot of books I want to reread. I'm not expecting to read all of them this year, so I don't have a certain "to be read by" date.

To-read and review:
Driven (Full Throttle, #3) by Lisa Nowak Undermountain (The Undermountain Saga, #1) by Eric Edstrom Princess (American Princess, #1) by Courtney Cole Blackthorn Winter by Kathryn Reiss Ten Cents a Dance by Christine Fletcher Jerk, California by Jonathan Friesen The Nature of Jade by Deb Caletti Cracked Up to Be by Courtney Summers Bad Girls Don't Die (Bad Girls Don't Die, #1) by Katie Alender Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life by Wendy Mass The Secret Hour (Midnighters, #1) by Scott Westerfeld Touching Darkness (Midnighters, #2) by Scott Westerfeld Eona (Eon, #2) by Alison Goodman The Pledge (The Pledge, #1) by Kimberly Derting On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #1) by Michelle Hodkin The Forest of Hands and Teeth (The Forest of Hands and Teeth, #1) by Carrie Ryan Fire (Graceling Realm, #2) by Kristin Cashore Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen A Great and Terrible Beauty (Gemma Doyle, #1) by Libba Bray Beautiful Malice by Rebecca James Eragon (Inheritance, #1) by Christopher Paolini

And the ones that I can't find on the add book list for some reason:
Wicked: Witch & Curse by Nancy Holder, Blue Noon by Scott Westerfeld, This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen, Unwind by Neal Shusterman

Alright, I was just wondering since I haven't seen any new threads about it.

And I'll delete my comments on here if you want. I don't want to clutter up your challenge thread. XD
