Last month, I committed to completing by goodreads challenge before the end of the year. This meant reading a staggering 28 books before the year’s end – a number which I have since cut down to 18. Not bad for a single month, right? Still, it means I’ve got to get through 18 books this month! Gah!
- Bite Club by Rachel Caine – This is a carry-over from my November TBR. I’m almost finished with it and am happy to report I liked it!
- Fathomless by Jackson Pearce
- The Carpet People by Terry Pratchett
- Heartbeat by Elizabeth Scott – This is out in January so I FINALLY have an excuse to read it! Have wanted to since picking it up at BEA, but other books seemed more important… sigh.
- The Clockwork Scarab by Colleen Gleason – This one is about a female Stoker and Holmes: LOVE the concept!
- The Infinite Moment of Us by Lauren Myracle
- Endgame by Ann Aguirre – As God is my witness, I will not go one more year without reading this book!
- Succubus Heat by Richelle Mead – This is another carry-over from last month’s TBR… I really need to finish this series before I forget everything!
- Wondrous Strange by Lesley Livingston – Yup, I’m one of the weirdos who hasn’t read this series. No idea what happened there….
- Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins – As above :0
- Shadowed Summer by Saundra Mitchell – I’ll admit, I’m kinda choosing this one because of the length. Hopefully 192 pages won’t take me too long to get through!
- I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have to Kill You by Ally Carter – Having already ready Ally’s Heist Society series, I KNOW I am going to love this one!
- Horde by Ann Aguirre – The last in the trilogy. *sniffles*
The ebooks
- Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan – This one is part of my Christmas Books challenge. It is supposed to be the perfect Christmas read!
- Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor by Lisa Kleypas – This one is also for my Xmas challenge 🙂
Yup, I DO realise the total here is only 15. I still need to pick out 3 more books… I am thinking maybe something else Christmassy? Let me know if you have any recs!

I know it’s not quite the same, but I have to read 8 more books by the end of the year to meet my goals. I suspect I’m going to end up reading a couple of YA novels just to get the count in, because those books go by pretty quickly and there are still a few I need to read and review.
This is what happens when we challenge ourselves to do a thing. We do fine, and then at the end, we go, “Holy crap, how am I going to finish this?!” :p Best of luck to you in getting those 18 read!

How is your reading going? That’s quite a challenge in one single month, but I believe you can do it!
Have you read Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle? It’s a cute, short, holiday-spirited YA novel. It would be perfect for the season!

Ooh, Let it Snow is a great suggestion! I’ve had it on my wishlist forever and think this Xmas challenge is the perfect excuse to nab a copy.
As for my progress so far… it’s an uphill battle. That said, this push to read has made me finish the Sirantha Jax series at long last! LOVE those books!
