Well, i didn't love it but when i decide to read it, i thought i would absolutely hate this book (i hated the first three books, and the comments about this book were really bad). But i liked. Wasn't bad...
How many times (roughly) do you think you've changed titles on your reading plan? Hmm a lot. I change all the time... I read as my mood goes, so it changes a lot.
Last but not least:
Have you followed the challenge in order, or have you jumped around to what you want to read first? completely out of order. I read as my mood and my desire. Sometimes i intend to read one book and when it comes to it, i decide that other book is more appealing to me in that moment, so i go flying through the challenge. =)

Last but not least:
Have you followed the challenge in order, or have you jumped around to what you want to read first? Not completely in order as I only discovered the challenge in April or May. I ticked off ones that I had already read no matter what week number and I am just working my way through the rest, trying to stick to week number where possible. I am a week behind reading Big Little Lies for the antonyms choice and I am hoping to catch up and read The Husband's Secret before the week is finished as Australia is somewhere I have always wanted to visit.
