Challenge Recap: I Love Libraries 2016

The I Love Libraries Reading Challenge (#ILoveLibraries2016) was hosted by Bea’s Book Nook. The hashtag wasn’t getting much play on Twitter, so either it kind of fizzled out or most people were posting on the -gram or the -Tube. I didn’t really set a goal because most of my books I read come from the library. 

For this challenge I did not include any of the audiobooks that I listened to through Overdrive but only physical books checked out from the library. I'm also not counting any books that I checked out but then had to return before I could read them. 

This post is basically a testament to the awesomeness that is the Monroe County Library System. 

Here are a couple of favorites: 

  

And The Trees Crept In by Dawn Kurtagich

The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner 

All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brenden Kiely

Goal: meh

Completed: 53 (when I wrote this)

Below, in picture blocks, are the Goodreads cover photos for all the books I read from the library this year with highlights and regrets.

Highlights from the Year:

There were many.

·        Tim Federle has secured his place in my heart as a clever, witty author.

·        The Six of Crows duology was bomb.

·        The Unwind series continues to haunt me.

Regrets:

I can't say that I regret any book that I've read (not counting The Sense of an Ending, because seriously). But I was underwhelmed by:

·        Not Working by Lisa Owens 

·        The Anatomy of a Gambler

·        We Eat Our Own
