I completed my personal challenge of reading 5 books in the month of January:
1. The Neverending Story
2. Delirium
3. Divergent
4. Insurgent
5. The Trench

Yay! I'm so excited. So I have started 2 other books this weekend: The Proposal and Revenge Wears Prada. I really needed something lighthearted after all those distopian books.
