Late start to my first AtY challenge!

[Olivia]

Oh dear. Seeing that it is now March, I've come to the realization that I am SORELY behind in this challenge (how typical). I've decided I should at least attempt to catch up! I made my account on Goodreads a couple years back, but haven't been too active in the community, so I am hoping this might bring along a change. It's difficult finding friends who enjoy reading as much as myself. :)

I could spend hours on end making lists, and when they're tbr lists, I swear I could spend literal days, haha. I've come to the realization that I like making lists more than I like carrying out the plans on them (oops).

Thank you, and likewise! What book are you looking forward to most this year?

[Rachelnyc]

Same here!

I was really looking forward to The Great Alone which I just finished and absolutely loved! Also looking forward to The Power which I plan to start this weekend.
