Update 3/15 (org. mess. 143)1. Read a book with "White" or any shade of white in the cover (ivory, cream, bone, etc...)

Just completed my first #8 (dark blue) - Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. Once again, I've been sucked into another amazing Maas universe! Her characters are interesting and complex, particularly her main character Celaena. Maas is a wonderful storyteller, in that she doesn't hit you with the particulars of her universe all at one time, but allows the world to unfold naturally through the story. And she doesn't hold back important bits to frustrate the reader. Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars2/45

Just completed my first #1 (white) - Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body by Roxane Gay. This memoir is incredibly brave and raw. There was so much truth I had to take it in small pieces to full digest. Really amazing and every person should read this! 5 stars3/45
