This is a reading challenge but the book doesn't count until you've written the review!

I hope to review 12 non-ARC books this year


~ Possibilities ~
Every book I read is a possibility as long as it's not already on my review book list.

2017 Reading Challenges

Joining reading challenges has not been the problem for me. Getting all the reviews done or reading to met specific requirements has! This has not changed but it hasn't stopped me for trying. Looks like 2017 will go the same.
