Brittany Gillis (bgillis) | 65 comments I always tell myself that I'll complete this challenge but I haven't yet. This year I've went through the listed all the books on my TBR that fit each challenge. I'm still working on the list and I've put everything on a google doc below. I've also put where it's on my kindle or if I own it and the location if possible just for my benefit. Yes I am little OCD with book list. Lol. Can't wait to start.
