Love seeing all your PBT centered goals!!!! Warms my heart. xo
Nicole, I have given 5 stars to 15 of your 36, and they are lifetime favorites! I am so excited for you! This is going to be an awesome challenge and reading year for us all, but especially for you!
I've read 17 of the books on you list of 36! At least 10 of them I loved! I hope you get to read with the randomizer!
I had Hot Milk on my list and lined it up to match your number.
Nicole, we have many books in common! Are you interested in doing buddy reads? If so I'll try to match your numbers. Especially 3, 11, 12, 31, 36.
Probably also 6, 16, and a couple others.
The Storied Life of AJ Fikry is a lovely book for book lovers.
BooknBlues and Nancy - That would be so much fun, I would love to do buddy reads!! :) I pulled all my random books from PBT’s annual top ten lists. I figured this way I was bound to find some great reads! Very excited to start the year
