4. Burn for Burn by Jenny Han (356 pages)Reason why I chose this book: Revenge stories are always fun in my opinion and having a story told from three characters' point of view seemed rather interesting. Young adult books can be good as well.

Quiet: Learning to silence the brain chatter and believing that you’re good enough by Fearne Cotton (288 pages)Reason why I chose this book: I've seen Fearne Cotton's books before when I'm out shopping and this is the first time I've bought one.

Love the idea of keeping track of pages read, mind if I steal that idea?

I don't mind, go ahead :)
6. Vile Victorians by Terry Deary (144 pages)Reason why I chose this book: I've read this before when I was a child all because the Victorian era was one of my favourite ages in British history. Consider it a blast from the past in more ways than one.

Pages read: 1,383/40,000
7. Risking it All by Tessa Bailey (400 pages)Reason why I chose this book: I started the Crossing the Line series something like two years ago and I thought it was about time I should continue with this series. Also, I'm quite a fan of Tessa Bailey's books.

Pages read: 1,783/40,000
8. New Blood by Matt Forbeck (200 pages)Reason why I chose this book: I've been a massive Halo fan for such a long time and Halo ODST was the first ever game I played of the franchise. It's good to catch up with Eddy Buck along with the rest of his badass crew.
Date finished: 16/1/20
Pages read: 1,983/40,000
9. A Demon and His Witch by Eve Langlais (172 pages)Reason why I chose this book: This is book number 1 of the TBR challenge. I've downloaded this book ages ago and since I'm a fan of paranormal/fantasy books I thought this would be pretty interesting.

Pages read: 2,155/40,000
10. Chances by Jackie Collins (480 pages)Reason why I chose this book: Years ago the Kobo website was doing a sale on lots of Jackie Collins books and I decided to buy most of them. I've been meaning to re-read the books that I've got of hers as she is one of my favourite authors.
Date finished: 24/1/20
Pages read: 2,635/40,000
11. Terrifying Tudors by Terry Deary (144 pages)Reason why I chose this book: I remember reading this book quite a few times when I was younger. One of my most favourite historical periods, besides the Victorian and the Greeks, was Tudors due to so many reasons.
Date finished: 25/1/20
Pages read: 2,779/40,000
12. Zombies From The Deep by Nick Grey (169 pages)Reason why I chose this book: For the first time of this year I was so very stuck on what to read. As I downloaded this book for free a long time ago I decided to read it. Besides, who can't resist a good short story involving zombies and people getting eaten?
Date finished: 27/1/20
Pages read: 2,948/40,000
13. Adam by Jennifer Ashley (237 pages)Reason why I chose this book: I do have a soft spot for romance books as it's just so good to see two characters who are fortunate enough to get a second chance at love. Also I've had this sitting on my Kobo doing nothing for a long time now.
Date finished: 27/1/20
Pages read: 3,185/40,000
14. The Warlord Wants Forever by Kresley Cole (256 pages)Reason why I chose this book: Since I've been unwell with sinus problems I decided to read one of my favourite books from my all time favourite author. I do have plans of rereading the series in order for the first time ever.

15. Don't Quit: How to kick-start your plans and make the most of your time by Hal Fisher (160 pages)Reason why I chose this book: Literally I bought this book the other day and I wanted to make it the first book that I read for the first day of February.

16. The Phoenix Prince by Kristen Gupton (296 pages)Reason why I chose this book: I have way too many unread books on both my Kobos and this was no exception. The premises sounded pretty intriguing and I was curious as to see how vampires and royalty mix in some ways.

Pages read: 3,897/40,000
17. How to Be Confident by Anna Barnes (160 pages)Reason why I chose this book: The last time I read this book was something like two years ago and I was in the mood to reread it. It's quite a beautiful book with lots of motivational quotes and helpful advice.
