2012 Reading Challenges!

I am taking on five (the 5th will be on Goodreads) challenges for 2012... yikes! Luckily (or rather, strategically) many books I plan on reading overlap in these challenges. This is the page I will be updating with the books I've read and my reviews on the year goes on.

  

This is a new challenge hosted by myself and Hafsah at Iceybooks. The challenge is to read 15 standalone novels (novels that are not part of a series) in 2012. These must be released from December 27, 2011 to December 31, 2012 and read in 2012 to count. To learn more about the challenge and to sign up, click the button above!

I will be adding to this list as the year goes on, I'm sure I'll end up reading at least 50.
