I have a bunch of the nominees to 2014 Good Reads award on my list, so I can probably start on one of those as well if nobody else get it first=)

I haven't really participated in BOMs before, but I can join the discussion of the book even though I've already read it right?

I have one for the Christmas decorations though, but it is third in a series, so I would have to read the others first. They are easy reads, so I think I can finish them during Christmas=)

None of my goalless books work; there are characters given a new chance, but wouldn't consider it as a last chance...=(

I'm reading Winter. The setting is mainly on the moon, but also in the space between Luna and Earth, will it count for outer space goal?

date 12/9/15
Goal: character that is a bully.

Finished Cress. Queen Levana can be considered a royal bully so it will work for that goal=)
