Good Luck with your reading plans everyone!!! I see lots of good books listed and I'm sure I will be adding some of them to my TBR mountain LOL. I finished my first book for this challenge already(task 15.9) this morning and it was horrible!!! I just don't care for that genre but glad I got it out of the way first ☺ Have fun with this challenge!! I'm off to see what I can read next LOL

Haha, at least you got the dud out of the way early. Bit worried about 15.9 because it's not something I'm familiar with, but hopefully when I get round to it I will be entertained. Make sure you read something good now :)
