Anyways, thus far in the year, I've read eleven books. I'm four books behind to meet my goal of fifty books in the year. Last year I set myself up for failure by going for sixty. I usually can get close to fifty, so we'll see how it goes. Overall, I feel pretty good with where I'm at given I haven't used any of my free spaces yet and I burned through a ton of large Outlander books. Huzzah for totally avoiding writing papers for grad school. (Writing some is on the agenda today after I write this post. Priorities, obviously.)
Currently, I'm reading Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. I'm only about thirty pages in, but so far I'm enjoying it. Mor on that once I finish the book, though. I'm not really close to finishing a tier yet. I've been kind of jumping around haphazardly, though I am trying to get as much on Tier one as I can.
Before I get into what I've read, if you want to find the original challenge post you can do so here. Tress, my co-conspirator has a PDF that you can use as well which can be found here. If you want to learn how this challenge came to be you can find that here. Now on to books.
