laura (bookies & cookies) (lauradonohue) So far, I plan to read each challenge the week designated, unless something should come up and I'll not if I swapped weeks.

My personal Goodreads Challenge is 52 Books, but I plan to read additional books besides these prompts.

For now, I'll list multiple books for each week until I choose the actual book for that prompt.

We already have a few books in common :)

I'm reading I am Messenger for my A-Z title challenge and The Nightingale for yet another challenge I'm working on. L.A. Candy is a cute series that I read a few years ago. I would recommend it for a nice, light read.

Welcome to the group!
