I finished reading Juliet this morning. I really ended up liking how the novel was written.

[Melissa]

I finished The Bone Garden, I wasn't familiar with this author but I liked her book.

[Karin]

I did not stick to reading my list this year. I am going to work on reading books I own more than library books next year.

Same. My reading habits were not up to snuff this year. Not sure why.

[Lea Ann]

Gah! I only read one book off this list this year!

[Melissa]

I have been working on the same box of books for the last 2 years and haven't gotten through any of them.

2019 I am switching to a different set of books.
