  41. A Kiss in the Dark by Gina Ciocca (approved Jan 30)

I participated in a few blog tours with ARCs provided through Netgalley, so I added those to the list. I tried not to add any more, but I kind of failed. In my defense, I actually requested them before 2018 and it just so happens that they got approved the same day I did the Tackling My Netgalley TBR post. I wasn’t aware until I signed on later that week that I actually had more books to add… Was I thrilled? Absolutely! Did I mentally kick myself? Definitely — Over and over again.

I started with 32 books, read 4, and added 9 books total. Definitely did not go very well this month since I now have 37 books to read… Yup I have a problem and I need some bookish guidance to help stop me from requesting anymore books…

At least my feedback ratio stayed the same at 49%. I’ll just have to do better next month!!

2017 Reading Challenge

So I started off with the plan to read 100 books and was going pretty strong in the beginning. However, the last 3 months of 2017 was really hectic for me and I was so busy that I had to change my reading challenge to 80 books. While I didn’t get to read as much in December, I ended up finishing 85 books in 2017. That’s 3 more books than last year so Yay!!!

Here’s a recap of all the books I read in 2017.
