I participated in this challenge last year - it is perfect for me, as I don't have a TBR pile - I have an entire TBR bookcase! Last year, I read 26 books from my TBR shelves, and I hope to top that this year, so I guess that puts me in the First Kiss (21 - 30) category:

  2. Insurgent by Veronica Roth 
  3. The Last Present by Wendy Mass

  3. Flora & Ulysses by Kate DiCamillo
  4. Insurgent by Veronica Roth

Nonfiction Reading Challenge 2014, hosted by The Introverted Reader

  1.  168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think by Laura Vanderkam

The Classics Reading Challenge 2014, hosted by Thoughts At One in the Morning
