Goodreads challenge: 57/200

I read 14 books this month!  That's about average.



My goal is to read 15+ series enders and reach Level 4.  I will update here as I read them.

Sadly none this month.

March
1. Unleashed by Sophie Jordan
2. Fire Fall by Bethany Frenette
3. A Cold Legacy by Megan Shepherd
4. Dearest by Alethea Kontis



This year Novel Heartbeat is co-hosting with Writer Grrrl Reads and they are assigning a point system based on whether you read a novella, a sequel or finish a whole series.  Here are some sequels I am hoping to get to this year.  I will update too as I discover new series or decide not to finish a series.
