This was a fun challenge to undertake. I read some categories that I usually never read, like Romance, where I was pleasantly surprised by the book I chose, Star Struck by Jamie Campbell. Of the 25 books I read as part of the challenge, I rated 6 of them as 5-stars, 13 as 4-stars, and 6 as 3-stars.
My three favorites (in order of date read) were:
- The Believers by Katie French
- Frost by Kate Avery Ellison
- This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales
As promised, I also posted a review for each book that I read. Here are the links to each review. The number in parenthesis was my rating.
