And here are my reading goals for the read-a-thon (though I'm not 100% sure which order I'll choose):

Demons (Seers, # 2) by Heather Frost
Alienated (Alientated, # 1) by Melissa Landers
Origin (Lux, # 4) by Jennifer L Armentrout
Inhuman (Fetch, # 1) by Kat Falls

Wrap Up

Yeah...so I ended up re-reading Blood Promise (Vampire Academy, # 4) by Richelle Mead during the read-a-thon (by the skin of my teeth). That wasn't really part of my goals, but it just sort of happened. And I rolled with it. I also made it through 45% of Origin (Lux, # 4) by Jennifer L Armentrout. Hope to finish that one before the end of the week though it won't count for the read-a-thon.

Also, I did participate in every challenge this year. Fun stuff. Looking forward to next year.
