Christine's 2017 Reading Challenge of 52 books

[Christine]

2016 my goal was 50 books and I managed 63. 2017 I have selected 75 books.
Looking forward to starting the challenge.

I have changed my challenge from 75 down 52 books. I have a lot going on this year with weddings etc so rather than read under pressure trying to meet my goal I thought lowering the number would be more manageable.

My 1st book I will start with will be by Scandi author Camilla Grebe

[Christine]

Wow! I didn't expect to have read an entire book before 2017 isn't even 24 hrs old. That's exactly what happened. I couldn't put this book down and sleep deprivation was the last thing on my mind. Only a complete book nerd would see the new year in this way lol.
What a fascinating psychological thriller that grips you a little more with every chapter. I can feel this is going to be an exciting year.
Happy New Year to all Goodreads members. Thank you all for your reviews, insights and recommendations in 2016.

Book No. 1 Camilla Grebe

Book 2. by Kathryn Croft
A pleasant enough book but personally prefer psychological thrillers with more tension and suspense. If you don't want anything too heavy, then this book is for you.

Book 6. by Mel Sherratt

Not one of my favorite books. I like something more suspenseful. The story had promise in the beginning but it just fizzled out after that.
3 stars.

5 star.

Book 8. by B.A. Paris

I was overly excited to read this new release after enjoying the author's debut novel "Behind Closed Doors ". This book was even better than the 1st. I found myself reading it at every possible moment. An absolute page turner! Now I am left wondering what I can read next that will live up to my expectations after consuming this psychological thriller in less than 24 hrs. This author has raised the bar considerably and I will be eagerly awaiting any new work.
5 star.

Book 9. by Jon Scieszka

A YA short stories book of terrifying tales by various authors. Short stories with various themes aimed at YA audience's to get them interested in reading. I bought this book for my 12 yr old granddaughter who thoroughly enjoyed it and wet her appetite to begin reading more. I highly recommend this book for YA readers who may be lacking some reading skills but like quick scary reads.
