Check it out 12 out of 16 done. Very excited by this! On to some questions from Ellie at Musings of a Bookshop Girl:
How are you getting on? Look at me go. I am very happy about my progress so far this year.
Have any of your not-so-familiar genres surprised you? The only genre that I really never read is mystery. I knew that it would be a problem genre, so I picked a classic. Can't go wrong with Agatha Christie...
Have you had any particularly good reads along the way? I loved The Magicians! So amazingly crazy book. I really need to read the sequel now. I also really loved The Ghost Map and The Lost Hero. Very good reads...
And do you reckon you'll hit your target by the end of the year? I am determined to finish this challenge. Only 4 more to go. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it. I have options for Romance and Classics, but need to dig for Poetry and Food.
