2017 Challenges Update:

This year I am challenging myself to:
  • The Totally Doable 2017 Reading Challenge
  • The 2017 Debut Author Challenge
  • The 2017 ‘Continue a Series’ Challenge
  • The Zoella Book Club Challenge

The Totally Doable 2017 Challenge

Like last month rather than selecting books for the categories I just read what I wanted and then saw if any of them fit.

This month I read one more for this challenge, which was a book set in the future. That book was The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James.

I am so thrilled as I have now completed this challenge with 4 months to spare!

Challenge Total: 12/12
