Lili's 2020 Reading Challenge

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

FInished !

[Sonnie]

I know this was a few post before, but I LOVED the love triangle in Soul Screamers! I mean, I'll admit it, I am obsessed with love triangle's anyway when they're done right lol. But I've been thinking of re-reading Soul Screamers again!

What did you think of the ? I love Amy Plum- she's from my hometown so she's come here and did a signing and a reading, but I couldn't seem to get into that one. Which sucks because I won it and it was signed too! Might have to give it another try later.

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Sonnie I've been thinking of re-reading the series too!! I have one more book in that series before I finish it, but I definitely think I need to re-read the rest of the series beforehand because it's been YEARS since I first read it! Anyway, yeah I don't remember minding the love triangle. I thought it was very seamless and well done. I don't know what I would think about it now though. Lol.

Dreamfall was really interesting... I liked the premise and I liked the horror aspect of it. I hate that the book ended almost abruptly though. I feel like book 1 and 2 could've been combined into a single book and it would've been better. BUT I already had book two to start right away so I don't even know why I'm complaining. Lol. But overall I really enjoyed the duology!

[Sonnie]

I get that! Some of the books I read years ago I'm not so sure how I would feel about them now lol. Especially when I first got into New Adult books.

Maybe I'll give Dream Fall another try! Pretty sure I have the second one on my Kindle to start right away if I need to.

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Finished ! I'm nearly 1/3 of the way to my goal in the tbr challenge, which is pretty crazy for me 😅 lol

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Finished which was a library book so I can't count it for my tbr mountain. Oh well 🤷‍♀️ Lol. It was good though!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Read and luckily this one counts for my tbr mountain challenge. It was really good for being a freebie!

[Brittany]

Aww its not a freebie anymore so I wont go pick it up. Glad you enjoyed it though!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Finished which marks my 20th book so far this year! Unfortunately, it doesn't count toward my tbr mountain challenge cause I literally just bought it yesterday. Lol.

[Sonnie]

20 books already?! That's awesome Lili!

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

Lili, you are smashing the reading this year. I wish I could read that quick to have finished 20 books already haha. Well done.

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Thanks guys! When I get down time at work I read, so that's been helping .

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Another Scary Mary book done!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Read two more books in the Scary Mary series:

[Brittany]

Really liking that series eh Lili?

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

It's fun! I really like the stories and the paranormal aspect to it! Not loving the direction the romance went but oh well 🤷‍♀️

[Brittany]

As long as the rest is good!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

In February I read 15 books, and no re-reads this month!

3 were standalone books and the rest were part of a series... No surprise there.

6 books were books I purchased, 1 was an Amazon freebie, 1 was an ARC from Netgalley, and 6 I purchased with an Amazon GC.

5 books were 5-star reads, 8 were 4-star reads, and 2 were 3-star reads.

This month I read 5 books from authors that were new to me!

And last, I read 2 adult books and 12 YA... sounds about right. Lol.

[Brittany]

Wow Lili! That's awesome well done!!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Thanks! 😊

[HeatherH]

Awesome February Liliana!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Thank you!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Finished my first book of the month: . It was really cute and it counts for my tbr challenge!

[HeatherH]

That one sounds cute!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

It was pretty cute. I found myself smiling a lot throughout this book. Lol.

[Brittany]

Yay for cute!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Finished which also counts for my tbr challenge because I've had this ARC since last year 😅

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Finished which was meh but counts for my tbr mountain challenge, so I'll take it. Lol.

[Brittany]

lol fair enough! Gotta clear that mountain!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

March was a very sad reading month for me... 3 books read at the beginning of the month and that's it 🤷‍♀️

1 was standalone books 2 were part of a series. And I did end up finishing one series this month, so yay! Lol.

2 books were books I purchased, 1 was an ARC.

2 books were 4-star reads, and the other was either 2 or 3 stars... haven't decided how much I disliked it yet. Lol.

And last, I read 2 YA books and 1 adult book!

Here's to hoping April is better 😅

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

I only read a few books in March too. It was a crazy month for a lot of us I think. Hope April is better for you :)

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Thanks Kayleigh! I hope so too!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Finally finished after starting it exactly a month ago. Unfortunately, it wasn't great. It was a mystery but it was very unaction-packed. It just felt really slow. I have the next two books in the series but idk that I want to continue it 😕

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

I finished 3 books during the readathon: and they all count toward my tbr mountain challenge! Yay!

[HeatherH]

Awesome job!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Thanks! 😊

[Brittany]

Yay for knocking down the mountain a little bit! Well done!!

[Elena]

Great job! Congrats! :)

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Thanks guys! 😊

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Finished which is another book off the tbr pile AND another series finished! Yay 😊

[Brittany]

Yay!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

In April I read 5 books and 1 short story... definitely better than last month!

5 were part of a series and 1 was a standalone.

I started 3 series 😅 and finished 1.

I read one 5-star book, one 4-star, three 3-star, and one 2-star book.

Only 1 book was from a new-to-me author.

And all of them were YA this month.

[Brittany]

Well done Lili! Love seeing the monthly stats!

[Elena]

Yay! You're awesome! Keep on doing even better this month :)

[HeatherH]

Awesome job Lili! I love the monthly stats too!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Thanks guys! 😊 I love stats too! Lol.

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Finished my first book of the month and it was good! I love this series!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Finished which is another book off the tbr mountain AND another series finished! Funnily enough, ALL the series I've finished this year have been duologies 🤷‍♀️😂

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Finished . I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to more of the series!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

In May I read 2 books and 1 graphic novel... not as good as last month. I'm thinking I'm not completely out of this reading slump 😬

All of them were part of a series... I started 1 and finished 1.

I'm not sure on the ratings yet, but they're all getting 4+ stars... probably. Lol.

Only 1 book was from a new-to-me author.

1 was YA, 1 NA, and the other... you know, I'm not quite sure. Adult? Lol.
