*Platypire Read-A-Thon* December

It's a new month which means it's time for a new Platypire read-a-thon list (or the old list with some new books added.) If I was smart, I'd just say to heck with adding new books and just focus on the books that are on the list, but I'm apparently not that smart (I'm also not that likely to stick the list under any circumstances, so it doesn't really matter if I add new books or don't add new books, because I'd read new books anyway.) Without further ado, here's my list for December.

So I've only added three books to my to be read list (two books that I snatched as Read Nows on Netgalley in spite of all the books I need to get read and reviewed there, and a book that I guaranteed a copy of through Penguin's First to Read program). I consider this a vast improvement over past months, and maybe a miracle will happen and I'll knock out a HUGE chunk of my reading list this month. My main goal is just to finish the books that I've got currently started as doing so will allow me to complete my Goodreads reading challenge. With luck I will succeed at that. - Katie
