Reading Challenges 2015♥

• Fairytale Retelling is hosted by Melanie from TheDailyProphecy 
• I haven't read that many fantasy & fairy tale novels lately so I thought of doing this challenge. I did read and love Cruel Beauty so I'm going to check out what else this genre has to offer. I'm hoping to aim for Bluebeard which is 26 books.
• Fairy Tale Retelling Lists and Shelves

Personal New Adult challenge is a challenge I set for myself a year ago. NA has been around for a couple of years now, and most of the novels have failed to impress me, although, NA is one of my favorite genre. It's a complicated relationship. 

I'm hoping to discover some gems in a bunch of stones. This year, I have read 80 books that are NA, and I have really liked about 12 books which isn't a lot. I'm hoping to read 40 NA books next year for 2015. Below are the books I'm hoping to read .. ! I'm most def. not a fan of NA covers, except the book Rule. I love that guy on that cover *swoons.

That's a total 7 ncluding the next Goodreads Challenge.. Well, four are the official ones though, so it's alright.
