I hear you :/

I was so glad I read that 'prizwinning book' one (maybe it was book of the year, of something like that?) I read the NZ book of the year and LOVED it, and I would never have picked it up if it wasn't for the challenge.

For sure! I read so many books I never would've gotten around to without the challenge:D
