This is going to be an interesting ride as my first time to do the pop sugar list. I'm really using this as a chance to go out on a limb from planning all my reads like I used to, to really just picking what I like and seeing if it fits. And I plan to read a lot of light and fluffy. Life is just too serious already. :0)
