I hope this still counts. I've read other books by her, but this wasn't from a series.

I liked it so much! It just proves to me that it doesn't matter if I know the ending, the journey there is the most riveting!

Updated original post# 25.

[Amy]

Update #13 - Finished my 6th New Author.

Gremlin I think you missed my last update Also I'm going to keep going but a lot of my books I have to read are adult. Am I right to say that's allowed after you've finished your 6?

Amy wrote: "Gremlin I think you missed my last update "

Yes, I clearly did! Thanks for letting me know.

You bet! That's exactly what I was saying. I feel like once you've run through the challenge as is, the rest is gravy and up to you to decide what to read (though I'm happy to keep track with you).

Awesome. Thank you Gremlin!

Finished my 2nd, I'm much more behind this usual on this challenge. I lot of not new books to read I guess.

My 2nd new author, and I loved it. Updated post 27

[Candice]

Finished
I very nearly DNF this. If not for this challenge, I would have put it down by the first 30% of this book! But I feel all accomplished so I guess it was worth it. Updated #17

[Barb]

Stayed up WAY too late last night to finish #4. I liked the book in general, but I didn't like the resolution.

Updated post #4.

[Amber]

Finished #6 . New author.

I'm going to take a break to read the next book in this series, but I'll be back!

I really enjoyed it, read it in 2 days which is weird for me. I couldn't put it down.

[Heather]

Heather #12.

Listing all my books again. The original post went from showing I had 4/6 completed to 1/6, wanna make sure I get credit. Been working hard on this challenge. What makes it hardest for me is that I read mostly series, so only the 1st one counts, lol Only 1 more to go!! :)

1. New Release, New Series
2. New Series, New Author
3. New Series (1 non-YA)
4. New Author, New Series
5. New Author, New Genre

Totally agree on that book, Barb. I was thoroughly enjoying it and then everything went wrong.

Round 2
#1-New Series *Finished 2/13/17*

[Anna Kay]

I finished #2/6, (YA, new author). It was just "meh," I had some issues with it overall. It was nice to see a historical M/M romance set in that particular time period, which is rare in YA as of yet.

Also, a question. I finished today but am unsure as whether it counts as teen or adult. It's shelved in the teen section at my library but has more of a New Adult feel. Thoughts from a mod?

Yeah - this seems like New Adult, and the Chicago Public Library (my go-to for decisions on where to shelf books) has it shelved in the adult fiction section. So we'll call this one adult.

Finished #7 - . Updated original post #25.

[Christie]

Finished my 5th . Updated post #6.

[Amy]

Update post #13

Finished Round 2 #2. Fascinating and disturbing read. New Author.

It's disturbing how much we as humanity haven't learned since the writing of that book.

[L A i N E Y (will be back)]

[Diane]

Ok I have been in quite a reading slump since the New Year. Life is boggling me down mentally and emotionally. I finished #3 finally and it was just what I needed for a kick start.
New release - August 30. It was awesome but I will have to wait way to long for the next :(

[Casey]

Finished my 3rd! Updated post 27
New Author

[Barb]

Finished #5 - - new author, adult.

I've been going back to slowly read older classics that I either haven't read before, or only read for school. And after it was mentioned so much in Everything, Everything, and it was free on Prime reading, i figured why not?
