Dana (danaelaine) So way back in January of this year, after going through a terrible phase of not reading very much at that time I decided that my yearly challenge would be 30 books.

Mari Carroll Very cool how you did that - I am way too technically challenged! I read 13 Reasons Why, The Girl on The Train and The Silent Wife - all of which I loved. I remember reading the VC Andrews Flowers in the Attic series - loved those books...though many years ago that I read them. Thanks for sharing!


message 3: by Dana (new)

Dana (danaelaine) Thank you! VC Andrews is one of my favorite authors as of lately, I really got into her about a year or so ago and now feel the need to read all of her books.

I kind of pinpointed the murderer about half way through but the reasons behind it I didn't find out until the end when Megan's chapters came to an end.


message 7: by Dana (new)

Dana (danaelaine) Yea I kept suspecting it and then was like oh no that can't be it but then it was and yea the reason behind it I never would have guessed.

Dana (danaelaine) Wow, I'm completely blown away by how much I've read so far this year, given the fact that I was just hoping to read 30 books... I'm thinking it might be the year of 50!
