SciFi and Fantasy Book Club discussion

Hey, this is going to be my personal challenge thread because I'm tired of checking my comments to find out what I've completed lol This is my first year I've done reading challenges because I don't usually like reading to fit stuff and I am too busy to be a completionist.. I think I've been doing pretty well so far!
