I love your challenge title (and I think my husband agrees with yours)! Enjoy your books!

And your daughter sounds like my youngest as well! Tons of books around.

Yes! She goes to a governor's school for the arts and is in the literary arts program! Plans on going to a college to major in creative writing. Books for fun and books on writing are all over the place in her room.

Now, why didn't I think of that!?? Great idea, Toni!
I can tell you right now, your daughter has good taste. The LUnar Chronicles is a very good YA series. Make sure you read the in-between book; which is Fairest. I loved it the most.

Thanks!! I'm hoping that by switching up the themes, I won't get bored AND I'll clean off the shelf.
She loves fantasy books (she read Shannon Messenger's books in middle school and still adores those books [read several times] and it has gone from there). She has the whole series, so I'll be sure to read them all!!
I love, love love the title of your challenge! My husband is secretly air high fiving your husband. Lol 🤣🤣This is a beilliant way to organize this challenge. As someone already said, why didn't I think of that?? Looking forward to your thoughts ans reviews of these books.

Haha, thank you! I think several husbands would appreciate this, lol.
Thank you! I'm excited as I've been putting off several of these for a while!

I feel the same. If I switch things up, will that keep me from getting moody??
I haven't read any of your selections but have a few on your TBR list. Wish you luck on your challenge.

I've slotted in January and December, but the other months will be spontaneous decisions - good luck to you!
Toni, my hubby wants to join yours and all the abandoned spouses around here who have to rearrange their lives around our books and reading schedules. :-) I can get him to listen to an audiobook, but that's about it! I am still reading A Court of Thorns and Roses series although I think I actually preferred Throne of Glass. Cinder is one of my favorite series of all time - and Alondra is not wrong - don't skip Fairest! Hope you have fun with your list.
Good luck, Toni! Great way of selection; my bookshelf never seems to empty, only fill up. I’ve only heard of Truly Devious (which I have a desire to read) and the Keeper of the Lost Cities. Good luck and enjoy! 🐾
Interesting way to pick out books, I really like it. I've only read Cinder, and surprisingly I loved it. It's definitely not one of my genres...I hope you like all your selections, happy reading!
I love the themes!! Can't wait to see your thoughts
Book #1 for this challenge is done. The Winter Sister was a good start to the new year and I really enjoyed it!
Good start! I'm planning on one each month myself, though will decide as I go which is next.
