RMFAO 2016 Genre Challenge!

I just recently joined a group on Goodreads called “Reading my frigging a** off”. Pretty funny name, right? 😛

So, they have this Genre reading challenge where the members participating read a book of decided genre for each month. So, I decided participating in it for 2016! Excited! 😀 😀

This year there are two genres for each month to give the members more options to choose from. I will try to squeeze in both the genres but let’s see. 😛 This year is going to be jam packed for me. I have a lot of plans for this year but reading is always going to be there. ❤

I have added more than 1 book under some genre so that I can have options. I am still leaving my options open, if I find a book that interests me more than what I have in the list then I might read that. I will make the changes as I go along but this post will mark the journey. I will add links to the reviews of the books that I read and if I decide on another book then that will be added here as well.

Have you guys thought about joining any reading challenges? 😀 😀
