  1. You really do love your horror don’t you Laura? Here’s to more great books, and book challenges!

  2. A few of those horror picks are on my list for this year! No such thing as Werewolves, They Rise, The Hatching. I like the sound of Voodoo Child and a few of those monster covers are appealing!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      They are some good ones. I read anything Shea writes and I’m reading the second Hatching book, Skitter, now.

  3. Great job on all your challenges. I really enjoyed the horror one too and it really got me back into reading horror a lot – it was my favorite genre as a teen. I have missed it so much. I also like cozy mysteries but that is one challenge I’ve not done. I just lump mine into the Cloak & Dagger challenge I cohost with Stormi. Nice work! No one is doing the horror challenge this year are they?

    Congrats on finishing your Alphabet Soup Challenge! I have participated for a few years and never can get all of them. I always end up with about six left over. I think next year I will join the cozies challenge. 200+ books means you WIN! I find that absolutely amazing. Good job!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I almost didn’t make the Alphabet Soup Challenge. Then I was given the opportunity to read an ARC that filled the Y spot.

  5. Maggie says:

    I’m totally signing up for the Alphabet Soup challenge! 😀

  6. Wow, awesome year of reading! And Horror Hound? I am so jealous. I hope to start doing the conventions in a few years.

  7. Congrats on meeting your reading goals. Have fun with your TBR shelf. 🙂
