I'm a jumper and easily distracted by side reads. I have piles of unread books occupaying every surface of my flat and yeat I cannot help myself when visiting a library, or to be exact: libraries.

10/52 completed, at this rate I'm 2 books behind. Rainbow Rowell, Willa Cather and Julie Klassen became immediately new favourite authors.

4 books behind, guess who hasn't had any holidays yet :P

What did you think of the Wayward Pines series? I have the first book on my list and it's one of the ones I'm really looking forward to :)

I liked the books way better than the tv series and they managed to surprise me a few times, which is always a plus. Overall a fine trilogy, I would recommend to keep away from spoilers and you're in for a treat :)

33/52 and the list keeps living!

40 down of which 16 got rated five stars, couldn't be happier with the choices ^_^ Still, I need to pick up the pace and get as many read as I can before xmas strikes again...

Did you manage to read more in December?

I'm up to 45 and halfway through one more, so it looks unlikely I'll be able to finish this challenge - have to admit I had way too many netflix binging days this year :D The toll keeps gradually climbing year after year, so I have a small flickering hope for 2017...
