Wow, you did great! Its hard to finish every challenge, but you managed to finish a few and come really close on the ABC challenge! I myself did not do so well on my challenges!
ReplyDeleteWow! You did awesome! So many great books. The one I'm most jealous of is definitely The Selection. I want to read it so badly, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. Maybe I should bump it up my TBR for the new year :)
ReplyDeleteJesse @ Pretty In Fiction
Wow great job! I did the ABC challenge too, but through someone else, and I wasn't not able to get a book for Q either!! That pesky letter is tough!! I'm going to attempting it again next year! :)
