Am (epiphanies) | 20 comments 2018 TBR Cleanup Challenge
(I know I'll change my mind about some of my choices, but it's best to write list them down so I'd be more organized)

[ 1 / 15]

1. The 13th book
(I'll get back to this after I organize my DTBs)

2. A book written by an author who is/was still in diapers or over-the-hill - Northanger Abbey
(Austen wrote this when she was in her late teens/early 20s)

3. A book with humor or horror - The Hidden Oracle
(Rick Riordan, don't let me down)

4. 300-350 pages - The Raven Boys (5/29/18)

5. A book that reminds you of home - Smaller and Smaller Circles
(Because it's set in the PH)

6. Suns, skies, stars, or planets on the cover - Radiance
(Because it's the obvious choice and also because it's Valente)

7. Chosen for the cover

8. "Missed it by that much"

9. Based on the blurb or blerg

10. A non-U.S. or UK publication/setting - The Girl in the Tower
(Set in Russia; I'm really excited to read this!!)

11. Gold on the cover, in the title, or in the author's name - Strange the Dreamer
(I've heard good things about this book. Also it has a prettier cover than her previous series)

12. A book with a vehicle on the cover, from a carriage to a spaceship

13. An author's debut novel - The Secret History
(Because apparently I live in a cave and haven't heard about this book (or Donna Tartt) until recently...)

14. Make a list of 5-7 books and use "Eeny Meeny Miny Moe" to choose one

15. A book from a genre that's outside your comfort zone -Illuminae
(I've realized that almost all of the scifi books I've read are set on earth and aside from Silently and Very Fast, I've never really read books about AI and/or that is set in space. Oops)

16. A book with a mystery or romance

17. Standalone novel

18. A book with a character you would marry, shag, or kill

19. Read a genre-bender - American Gods
(I've been wanting to read this since forever)

20. A book with an animal, vegetable, or mineral on the cover - The Dream Thieves (5/30/18)
