I’ve finished the first of my year long reading challenges!
I definitely preferred the TBR Lite format to the full TBR treatment I did last year. You wouldn’t think reading 12 books I’d been meaning to read anyway would be stressful, but setting a list at the beginning of the year turned out to be a little more difficult than I’d anticipated. So this year, I did option B of the Lite challenge, which allowed me to read any six books I wished, as long as I’d wanted to read them for at least three months. I liked the flexibility enough I was able to finish in September, instead of holding on until the bitter end of December.
I read:
