Books Purchased

• La Belle Sauvage by Philip Pullman
• Noughts + Crosses by Malorie Blackman
• Knife Edge by Malorie Blackman
• Checkmate by Malorie Blackman
• Double Cross by Malorie Blackman

I was reasonably good this month with buying books, I HAD to get the special edition of La Belle Sauvage and I don’t regret it at all! I already had the first three books in the Noughts and Crosses series but when I saw a set of all four for £6 I grabbed them, I like the multi coloured covers and now I’ll have a full matching set. I did buy a few other books but they’re for Christmas presents so they totally don’t count…

Challenge Progress

I’m also keeping track of all my reading challenges –

Goodreads Challenge: 68/50

–

The total number of books read is still going up, but not at quite the same pace as before!

---

British Books Challenge 2017: 42/12

–

I really need to vary my reading a little bit! Admittedly there are a huge number of extremely talented British authors but I probably should find some authors from outside Britain, Ireland and the US

---

2017 Cloak and Dagger Challenge: 38/15

–

Still reading plenty of crime! Another thing I should probably branch out from!

---

2017 New Release Challenge: 52/30

–

I love the fact I’ve already read enough new books to have read one a week for the year. It does mean I have a backlog of older books beginning to stack up

---

2017 New To Me Challenge: 51/12

–

Lots of new authors, and series have been read this year!

---

2017 Netgalley & Edelweiss Challenge: 46/25

–

And this is the reason I have so many new releases read, my ratio is still shockingly low though because I keep seeing other things and clicking request…
