This looks like a fun challenge, so I decided to join in!
Cathy@746books host a yearly summer challenge called 20 Books of Summer. The challenge is to read 10, 15, or even 20 books between June 1st and September 3rd. I am going for it and will be attempting the full 20! My books are a combination of NetGalleys, new releases, and titles that have been waiting patiently to be read on my bookshelf.
The rules are simple – make a post using one of her images, list the books you would like to read, and link back to her master post. If you want to swap out a book…go for it. Want to completely overhaul the list halfway through…why not?! If you decide you want to drop your goal halfway through…do it! She is quite flexible on the rules and that’s what makes this challenge so appealing to me!
Throughout the summer she will be using the hashtag #20booksofsummer.
*Book reviews are linked and star rating given.

Yes, that definitely appealed to me the most. I don’t like a bunch of set rules to follow.

I’ll Be Gone In The Dark and Night are both FANTASTIC. I’m so eager to try a Karin Slaughter book one of these days – I’ve heard she’s a very good thriller writer. Good luck!

She’s fantastic! I’m way behind in her series, but at least I don’t have to wait a year for the next one 🙂

I have to figure out where to start with Karin Slaughter – but it’s always great when there are lots of series books to catch up on! And yeah, I hate waiting, so being behind isn’t all terrible.

I was told by multiple blogger to start with the Grant County series. Apparently there is some character overlap. Hope that helps 🙂
