The challenge ends next month, so figured it was a good time for a monthly check-in. I honestly didn't think I would finish, since my library did not cooperate with some of the books I wanted...and I read a bunch of other stuff that wasn't originally on the list. But some of those ended up fitting well and replacing some original items...so I think I will make it! And I'll end up reading more things off my TBR rather than things I just had decided to add for the challenge, which is cool.

So, three of these came from The Lunar Chronicles...
How is everyone else doing?
OH EM GEE, can we please just discuss the deliciousness of The Lunar Chronicles??? Hahaha! Winter was on my list, too. And WHY didn't I think to change my unusual genre to a graphic novel?! I read Wires and Nerve and got no credit for it. Hahaha. I'm currently reading two for the challenge and then I have two more to go. (I should've abandoned The Hitchhiker's Guide... too. It's odd. Ha.)
