Since my last update, I completed only one book…Yay?
The one book was Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn {Full Review}
I also want to post mini-reviews for the rest of the books in the near (or distant) future!
My Goal is to complete FOUR more books from this list by the end of the year (hey, I have a full lifetime to finish this list!).
