HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments With an expected insanely busy schedule for most of the year, setting my yearly book count goal fairly low for me. I've found several year long challenges to participate in. Biggest goal this year: finish more series than I leave unfinished by the end of the year >.<

As far as favorites go, I really wanna say A Conjuring of Light because I absolutely adore Schwab and that world! But Second First and Reminders of Him were both really good and I flew through them so they're up there too!

I loved it! Shara was not a likable character - neither girl was honestly - but as my daughter stated to me when I said that... "women don't have to exist to be likable" hah. I adored the side characters and the story was fun. Definitely not RW&RB level but still good!

I am the same way too, Heather! I'm currently sitting down and writing some reviews, and looking through some of my notes on one of the books I'm like, "why did I give this 4 stars? It doesn't sound like I liked it that much" 😂
