Genre Readers looking to expand discussion

I am bringing this challenge back this year since it seems to be one people like. It is also a great way to clean off your TBR shelf.

Pick 12 books (plus 2 alternatives) to read this year. You must pick and post them before you start the challenge, then at the end of the year see how many you finished.

I put three on your list on my TBR list. You'll have to let me know how #1, #4, and #7 are.

Knocked on off this list. Admittedly, my reading will slow down when school starts back up next week, so I have to take advantage of this downtime.

One of the list this weekend. I am hoping to do better with this challenge this year.

Yes, I can finally start reading and figuring out what books I can give away when everything calms down outside. I am currently not allowed to work on campus because of the virus so to keep me busy I am reading. I am hoping to do better on the challenge this year because of the unplanned time off from work.

Finally, got a 2nd book off this list!

Puppet- unfortunately a book whose description I liked better than the story because of one of those main characters who was just awful.

One more off this list. Commonwealth

Marked of Miss Melville Regrets, this book actually let me mark of books on several challenges.

Another one off the list. Hello, Universe

One more off the list, Kelly Park

Sixth one done. Illumination Night

Got 5 off of the list, The Killing Hour

It's taken me so long to finish reading this book because the writing and storyline was SO BAD, but I finally did it. Savage Thunder

I didn't do so good with this one this year but there are 5 books off my TBR list I may not have otherwise read for a while.

Seven off my bookshelf this year. One of these days I'll actually complete this. I always take in more books than I get rid of.

Well I managed to completely forget about this entire list of books. I am going to try again next year and work my list around another year long challenge I am going to undertake to help me read and clean up my TBR list.
