Just started my first series of the year, Kendra Chronicles by Alex Finn - Beastly by Alex Finn. I liked this contemporary, YA telling of Beauty and the Beast. It got a little schmaltzy at the end, but overall, it was entertaining. I particularly appreciated the growth she showed in the main character. Worth reading! 3.5 stars1/20

I'm only counting books that are next in a series I've started OR books that I read more than one in a series this year. I'm not doing myself any good by starting new series that I'm not continuing.So I updated my goal to 16.

I'm counting this in good faith as author and publisher have claimed there'll be a 2nd part (at the least).
Update to message 19: I have read 4:books read = 4 | 12
