“10 Books of Summer” Challenge – Completed

This is just a post to say that I have completed my “10 Books of Summer” reading challenge hosted by Annabel at AnnaBookBel (thank you, Annabel, for being such a great host this year!) Being such a mood reader, I ended up replacing more than half of the books I initially planned to read for this challenge, and also reviewed half of them. I have discovered through this challenge that I am very bad at sticking to lists of books planned to read 🙂
