I signed up last year, but life happened and all my reading disappeared for about 3-4 months, so I didn't complete any challenges. This year I'm only signing up for this challenge because I need to get through my giant TBR/owned pile!

First book down! 
★★★★
This is the second book in the To All The Boys I've Loved Before series. I really am enjoying the series. After watching the Netflix movie, I picked them up. They are different enough that I still feel like I don't know what will happen next.
Second book completed: 
★★★★
Michelle McNamara's book is a compelling read. It's fascinating to take a trip into her mind and obsession with this killer.

★★★★★
This was a fantastic book. Michelle read it herself. A good reminder of the good, decent people in this world who want to do whatever possible to make this a better place for not just themselves, but for everyone.
Fourth done
★★★★★
This was the book I needed when I'm dealing with a very difficult time in my life, with someone who has BPD. This has helped relieve me of some guilt that it was something I did, and help me to better communicate with this person.
Fifth book down
★
My first fan fiction, and what a disappointment. This author obviously had an extensive knowledge of Veronica Mars, but they took certain dialogue to extremes when it came to sexuality. It just crossed the line a bit too much and it didn't feel in line with the actual series. It felt more like Dick writing a story about Veronica's life.
Finished another, half way there!
★★★★
Really loved this one. It was captivating, quite the page turner! Managed to keep me guessing about a story I've known my entire life. Can't wait to start the next in the series!
Slowly but surely making my way toward my goal!
★★★★
This book was quite the page turner. First thriller I've read where the sense of sight is totally removed, adds an extra element to the entire story!
Got another one read. This one I've had for AGES, and while I've seen the movie, own the movie (BBC version) and have read a retelling THREE times, I hd never read the original. Finally did, and lived up to the hype.
★★★★★
Number 9 is done!
★★★★
This book sucked me in! Absolutely wonderful read!
Number 10 DONENot my fav. But I got through it.
★★
Number 11 - ONE AWAY from my goal!
★★★
I should've finished this a long time ago. But I finished it!
Finished!!! Can't believe I actually did it!
