Flush
A Million Little Pieces
The Fault in Our Stars (possibly, if time permits)

March: Read your sign (Spell it out challenge)

R- Relentless
C- The Children of Húrin
H- The Honor of the Queen

July: Read 3 or 4 books with your child or a friend.

//I've changed this one because a) I have no child, and b) no one I know reads quite like I do :P. So I've decided to make this "Books I wish I had read when I was a kid" :)//

Anne of Green Gables
Ozma of Oz
