Happy New Year! I hope that everyone had a most excellent holiday season. I'm excited to kick off the new reading year by checking off some of my challenges. That being said, I have a lot of reading to do...

Shelf Control is hosted by Bookshelf Fantasies. It's all about showcasing the books that you own, but haven't read! Like many bookish people out there, I own more unread books than I'd like to admit. Each week, I'm going to throw back to the books that have been on my shelves for the longest amount of time. This week I'm featuring The Inheritors by William Golding
Lord of the Flies is my all-time favourite book, so I don't have any excuses for this one!

Like the book I featured last week, Cinder is part of a genre that I'm not as interested in anymore. But that's no excuse! I bought it, so I have to read it one of these days. It has excellent reviews and has been recommended to me so many times, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it once I finally pick it up.

Each week, I'm going to throw back to the books that have been on my shelves for the longest amount of time. This week, I'm featuring The Edge of Never by JA Redmerski "Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett had always been one to think out-of-the-box, who knew she wanted something more in life than following the same repetitive patterns and growing old with the same repetitive life story. And she thought that her life was going in the right direction until everything fell apart. Determined not to dwell on the negative and push forward, Camryn is set to move in with her best friend and plans to start a new job. But after an unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown North Carolina, she makes the ultimate decision to leave the only life she’s ever known, far behind. With a purse, a cell phone and a small bag with a few necessities, Camryn, with absolutely no direction or purpose boards a Greyhound bus alone and sets out to find herself. What she finds is a guy named Andrew Parrish, someone not so very different from her and who harbors his own dark secrets. But Camryn swore never to let down her walls again. And she vowed never to fall in love. But with Andrew, Camryn finds herself doing a lot of things she never thought she’d do. He shows her what it’s really like to live out-of-the-box and to give in to her deepest, darkest desires. On their sporadic road-trip he becomes the center of her exciting and daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But will Andrew’s dark secret push them inseparably together, or tear them completely apart?" There was a time, several years ago, when I bought approximately one million New Adult romance books for my Kobo. I had enjoyed some of the ones I borrowed from the library, and decided to go all-in. My preferences quickly moved away from romance, so I still have so many of these on my ereader. It's time to pull myself together and start reading them!
Top 5 Tuesday is hosted on this Goodreads group of the same name. Each week, bloggers gather to discuss the books and bookish things on their minds. This week's topic is: 5 books you finally want to read in 2017. These are those books you meant to read in 2016 or 2015 or 2014 and never got around to. Those books that have been sitting on your TBR for a while, and you really want to get to. These aren't upcoming 2017 releases; these are older books that need your love too!

With the craziness of starting a new job this week, I didn't manage to read or buy very many books. That's okay though! I did spend some time browsing sale items on Kobo, and I picked out a few books. I bought And Then There Were None in preparation for Around the Year in 52 Books. eBooks: Audiobooks: What did you pick up this week?
November was one of my best reading months in 2016. I read eight books this month, probably mostly due to not having a job for three weeks. Either way, I'm really proud of how productive I was. I took a major chunk out of my reading list!
