Posted on by missprint

Sarah from What Sarah Read has convinced me to sign up for another challenge.

Right now I am committed to the seasonal part of the challenge (since I’m reading Red Queen soon anyway!) but we’ll see how this shapes up!

I’m also sort of but not really doing the book a day part. Except I can’t read a book a day so I’m really just listing them as they fit in. (Sadly I read a lot of these last year when the challenge was not happening.)

If, like me, you want a full list of books Epic Reads has you covered. View the list on their site.

I’ll update this post regularly to keep you posted!

  1. Life By Committee by Corey Ann Haydu
  2. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
  3. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

UPDATE:

I’ve been feeling really, really stressed by all of the reading challenges I signed up for on top of my Goodreads one. After much deliberation, I decided the stress isn’t worth it so I’m withdrawing from everything but my Goodreads challenge which I will meet regardless. I know I will read fantasy books anyway, I know I will read more the 365 days of YA anyway, and I hope I might finish some series but the actual tracking is just overwhelming right now.
