2012 Standalone Reading Challenge

Next year, being my first year as a book blogger, I will be participating in the 2012 Standalone Reading Challenge! The challenge is hosted by Icey Books and I Like These Books. It was such a great idea for a challenge! Half the time, I begin reading a book and then five months later the author announces the sequel, which is normally a pleasant surprise, but it is refreshing to know I am reading standalones. A lot, if not most, of the books on the list are contemporary. This is greatly convenient for me because I need to start branching out and reading more books in that genre. Keep in mind that only 15 books are required for the challenge, I just made mine a bit longer.
