Third time around for this challenge. This year I am also going to do a rejects challenge as well as Popsugar and maybe Modern Mrs, Darcy (if there is one this year). I love reading challenges. I find they are a great way to read down my TBR and also broadens he scope of my reading.

Those are the exact books I thought of when the prompt was first suggested. Absolutely loved them both although the subject matter is quite disturbing.

I am really looking forward to reading both these books. I have had them on my TBR for a while and have been looking for a place to put them in a challenge. This worked out perfect!
