5. Crimson Bound - Rosamund Hodge....amazing
6. Fairest - Marissa Meyer* reread for fun and closure again to the near perfect closure to the series.

So I don't know if I'm going to count the short stories and I had qualms about not including DNFs to the list because I make it a point to always reach 50% before giving up. I feel like I'm throwing away time I spend reading if I don't count them :/ I'll see next month if I take them off or not.

I've read books so far this month but I'll just save them for the end of the month when I post them. I surprised myself with self help books and a few other books that don't normally fall into my tbr. They may not have been that good at the end but at least I can't say I didn't try.

Wooo I did it! Made my goal for the year. I feel good about this :D

I do have a ton of books on my tbr so I'm hoping to continue into 2017 knocking those off my list.

I also hope to re-read a few of my favorites in 2017 because I feel like this past year I never had time to do it as often as I wanted to.

Congrats!

Congratulations!
