doesn't sound like a sale that would work for me XD
I need to read all the descriptions, maybe some reviews too, before getting a book. I wouldn't be able to just grab and run XD

Okay wow that's a lot to start with haha! Once I finish this one I think I'm just going to start at the top and see what I can get on unlimited for free haha.

3 months. But I read fast 
This is going to be a fun challenge to see how many I can cross off in the time limit.

good luck! 
let me know what you think if you end up reading anything from my list. there's a number of books I wasn't sure about because the reviews were controversial and decided to read to have my own opinion. but in my head it's still "nah you may end up disappointed" so I'm putting them off eternally XD
I'm also curious how many you can cross off 
(my number for 3 months would be... like, 1, lol)

I'll update back here once I get started XD depending on the size of the book I think I would normally read probably 3-6. So the book challenge this year really is a challenge for me.

I don't usually ever read any reviews or even the back of the book before I start reading it. I like to go in knowing as little as possible! When it comes to movies, I just like to read the parental guidance thingy before watching!

oh no, that doesn't work for me at all! XD I need to read at least what's on the back cover. if the preamble doesn't make me passionate or at least curious, I don't know what can motivate me to read such a book. maybe a recommendation from someone with a similar taste or someone who knows my taste well enough. I want to be excited before I start and I want to not be disappointed while I'm reading. and there are too few covers that can make me so excited. I can only think of Memoirs of Lady Trent (you've seen them, you feel me), That Inevitable Victorian Thing, and Orconomics. too many books I read and liked have lame covers for me to trust the book front alone. in most cases I need that synopsis to want to read the book XD
