Cherene | 4 comments I failed last years challenge, but I've decided to do them both again. Since my main goal of the year is to read a good portion of the Goodreads Choice Awards for 2013, I like how it opens me to literature I never would have read otherwise, I have included all books from the goodreads choice awards in 2013.

Start date: January 1st, 2014
End date:

Books completed: 4/26

A - And the Mountains Echoed
B - Beautiful Creatures: The Manga
C - Cold Days
D - Doctor Sleep
E - Eleanor & Park
F - Fortunately, the Milk
G - Gameboard of the Gods
H - Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened
I - I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban
J - Jim Henson: The Biography
K - Kill City Blues
L - Life After Life
M - MaddAddam
N - NOS4A2
O - The Ocean at the End of the Lane
P - Prisoner B-3087
Q - (Undecided)
R - Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin
S - The School for Good and Evil
T - Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a Literary Twist
U - Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great
V - Vicious
W - Where the Stars Still Shine
X - (Undecided)
Y - (Undecided)
Z - Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald

And, just because I'm way too ambitious, the color challenge:
