Read 30 off my list, plus 2 bonus books (which were also on my TBR). In reading some of the books, I managed to clear some additional titles off my TBR as I found I just don't like that series anymore. Unfortunately, I probably added just as many, as I started a couple of series that I really enjoyed.

As alway, great challenge! Thank you, Jasmine, for putting this challenge together!!

I also add to others my thanks for setting up the challenge. I am not a fast reader, averaging just about 1 book/week, so when I do more than that I am happy. I read a total of 15 books for the challenge and the best part is that most were books I owned and could move on to their next life; hopefully enjoyed by someone else.
