Of course, the Goodreads challenge, as always. This year I'm hoping to read at least 50 books, but I would really love to read much more than that! I may up my goal as the year goes by!

And as of September 14th I have reached my goal! I'm gonna up it a little bit to 60 books and see how I do.

10/17/18 update: Alright, I'm at 60, pretty much, so I'm going for 75 now! Lol.

Synopsis:

The time has come. Allison's quest to save her mother from Aoife's wicked enchantment will test everything she believes in. Who is trustworthy in the land of the Fair Folk, the Tuatha de Danaan? It's up to Allison, along with her ragtag host of allies, to unravel the truth.

Journey along and discover the power of love and duty as Allison faces the most difficult trial of her life.

My rating: ★★★★☆
Allison still can't believe what happened to her father when they went to fight Aoife. What Allison doesn't know is that the fight isn't over, and this time it means succumbing to Aoife and not helping her mother,or beating her. For good.

Review: Perception (Clarity #2) by Kim Harrington

Title: Perception

Series: Clarity #2

Previous book in this series: Clarity

Author: Kim Harrington

Publication date: March 2012

Published by: Scholastic - Point

Source: Own Signed Hardcover

Add it to your Goodreads shelf

Buy it: Amazon | Book Depository

Synopsis:

When you can see things others can't, what do you do when someone's watching you?

Everybody knows about Clarity "Clare" Fern. She's the psychic girl in school, the one who can place her hands on something and see hidden visions from the past.

Only Clare would rather not be a celebrity. She prefers hanging back, observing. Her gift is not a game to her.

But then someone starts playing with her head . . . and heart. Messages and gifts from a secret admirer crop up everywhere Clare turns. Could they be from Gabriel, the gorgeous boy who gets Clare's pulse racing? Or from Justin, Clare's hopeful ex-boyfriend who'd do anything to win her back?

One thing is certain. Clare needs to solve this mystery, and soon. Because the messages are becoming sinister, and a girl in town has suddenly disappeared.

My rating: ★★★★☆
Clarity has gotten even more famous after what happened during the summer, with all the murders and how she helped catch the killers. That book was amazing, by the way, and this one was no different!

I LOVE this challenge! Witches are my favorites supernatural creatures and I just adore magic! The challenge is to read "...Any full length book that includes a witch as a main character or includes major witchcraft elements counts. They may be fiction or non-fiction..."

If you've been here for a while you know how much I LOVE the horror genre, be it in books or movies! I just love it! SO when I found this challenge I KNEW I had to join! I am SO excited! "The horror genre is subjective, but a good guideline to follow is whether a book is regularly shelved as horror on Goodreads."

My goal: Fearless Reader: 11-15 Horror Books

JOIN HERE!

"The goal is to read fairytale retellings, but if you want you can also pick other retellings. It’s up to you what you count as a fairytale." I love fairytale retellings! I'm hoping I'll get a couple of books in this year! I'm thinking Cinder by Marissa Meyer...

My goal: Prince Charming: 1 – 4 books

JOIN HERE!

I love re-reading books, as I've mentioned before! SO I thought this challenge was great! Basically... "any genre, length or format of book counts, as long as it's a re-read." No set number of books (though I'd like to read at least 5); just read as many as you'd like/can! You're supposed to make a list of books you want to re-read, but that wouldn't exactly work for me seeing as how I'm a big time mood reader especially when it comes to re-reads! So I'll be listing the books down below as I read them :)

JOIN HERE!

"The goal: To read as many prequels and sequels as you can. You set your goal at whatever number works for you. Novellas count, either prequels or sequels (i.e. #0.5, #1.5, #2.5, etc)." So this challenge is based on a point system, not on a set number of books: "1 point for each prequel or sequel novella read and reviewed, 2 points for each full-length sequel read and reviewed, 10 points for completing and reviewing a full series (doesn't require novellas), and you do not get points for the first book in a series."

My goal: 76-100 points: Professional

This challenge is perfect for me! It is just what I need! I am determined to finish at least 4 series this year! I've always been a huge fan of series books, but I end up starting them and never getting around to finishing them. That's why I originally started this reading challenge. This is a challenge to finish up those unfinished series books!

My goal: Level 4 (Expert series reader): Complete 4 or more series
