  1. Looks like you both did a great job on your challenges! I hope this year goes just as well for you. I joined a couple of Challenges for the first time this year so we'll see how it goes! I'm excited about it. I think it will help me stay motivated to read more from my backlist

    1. I think so! It's always fun picking new ones each year, but Flights of Fantasy is an annual favorite. The backlist book challenge definitely made me read new-to-me but older books! I loved it. I hope you find some challenges that work for you :0

  2. You guys are rockstars!! I find it fascinating that most of your books Dani were ebooks but your books were more evenly distributed Jessie. And I'm super impressed by how many backlist books you both read! Yay! I hope your 2017 is just as fantastic :)

    1. We did pretty good. I tend to prefer physical books so those numbers would be waaay different if I did not read so many ARCs lol. :)

  3. My ebook numbers make me want to hide. Do you know how many unread hardcovers I have? It's just so much more convenient to read on my phone on my commute!
