The year is coming to an end!!!! And I have so many books yet to read! I decided to focus this list on some of the challenges I can complete. Here are my top 10:
- The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon -- I keep putting this book off. Don't know why because I absolutely loved The Shadow of the Wind. (Completes Sub-Genre Challenge, Dusty Bookshelf Challenge)
