Books, Books + Winter Book Challenge

After seeing Kristen's post about the Semi-Charmed Winter Books Challenge I thought I would see if I could make it work with my 348+ books I "own" that I have yet to read. Yes, I finished my list of books I have I need to read before I spend more money or download more free books!

I made this list today, so I have a couple I really need to think on and do a little bit more research on. Those food/meals ones are so dang hard! (TWSS)

If you're new to the challenge, the skinny is that you have from November 1st to February 28th to finish all of the books on your list / in the categories and earn points.

If you're new to MY BLOG welcome!! I'm an avid reader of anything with Romance/Love in it - this is a MUST in any book for me. Chicklit, New Adult, some Young Adult, other works of fiction and you won't see much else around here. This challenge will really be a stretch for me especially with a different genre and another language. I'm an avid Goodreads user, so we should be friends!


5 points: Freebie! Read any book that fits the general rules.
This one will be whatever book I ended up "having" to read, lol.

I'm consulting the interwebs for this and book blogger friends. Thanks to Brianna for this book, she had it on her list and it sounds really good! Plus they had it free at the library, so that's awesome!
