Hello. I'm in for three books on this challenge. The first one was The Martian
It was such a good book - great characters and story line. I rated it five stars.
My next two books are:
Farenheit 451
Wool Omnibus
Wool has been on my to-read list forever so I'm really looking forward to that. And its been ages since I've read Farenheit 451.
I'm in for 3, I may be able to do more we'll see. Ill update if so. These are my three that I'll start with since I've already read The Perks of Being a Wallflower in the past.
1. The Catcher in the Rye
2. The Help
3. The Princess Bride
I can't wait to read them! :)

So did I! To an extent. I'm hoping to be able to start explaining more/why in the next few days - life and things've been getting in the way of review writing for the past while, not to mention I've had 30 left over from last year to be done with. I'm getting there though!
