2020 Reading Challenge January- April Update

Hello readers! I hope everyone is staying safe and sane. I thought that with today being the last day of April it'd be a good time for a Challenge update.

I've been reading a lot, but they've been pretty big books so I'm behind on my Goodreads Challenge. I'm only at 14/60 and some of those books seem like a lifetime ago. I'm close to finishing up the Fifth book in the Outlander series, so that will help.


Here's a look at what I've read so far with a link to the reviews. I had a plan, but mostly just going at it with reckless abandon like I normally do. You can find the original challenge post here.
