Spring Challenge Wrap Up 2014

Spring has come to an end and that means that it is time to wrap up my spring reading challenges. I did complete all of the challenges although not as victoriously as last year. I hope these challenges will return next year. I do have to admit that I did not finish City of Heavenly Fire before midnight on the 20th, but since I finished it before the wrap up I'm counting it. I'm just going to do pictures of all the books I read from March 20th to June 20th and I will explain which books goes to which challenges.

Last year I read 23 books and 1 novella for the Spring Challenge period. This year I read 20 books and 7 novellas for the challenge period. This year I was really into catching up on my Amazon Freebies and I'm almost done. I need to do a number of small reviews for these novellas because I haven't review them because I don't have a whole lot to say, but I do want to review them. 

I joined 4 spring challenges this year and they were all super great. Squel Spring was my favorite and one I most hope comes back next year. 

Hosted by Words in a Teacup.

I read 5 sequels during this 3 month period. 

I made a list of possible sequels I could read and off that list I read 74 Seaside Avenue by Debbie Macomber, Phoenix Overture by Jodi Meadows, Sunlight and Shadow by Cameron Dokey, Sleeping Beauty by Jenni James, and City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare. I still have plenty of sequels to read to keep me busy as well as some new series I plan to start. 

Spring Reading Thing is Hosted by Musings of a Book Addict.  and Spring into a Good Book is Hosted by Book Dragon's Lair I'm going to talk about these together since I used the same list. 

1. Charlotte's Web by E.B. White

2. How to Love by Katie Cotugno 

3. True Colors by Kristin Hannah

4. Four Friends by Robyn Carr

5. Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

6. Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy by Karen Foxlee

7. Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah

9. City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare

10. Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare 

Here's the original list of all the books I wanted to accomplish and as you see there was two that I didn't finished, but my rules were that if I read one I win, but I would like to read them all. I do plan to read Clockwork Angel soon and hopefully read Ophelia sometime this year.
