Challenge Complete: Mad Reviewer

Carrie at The Mad Reviewer Reading Challenge challenged us to read and review (either on Goodreads, Amazon or your own blog) 104 books in one year starting January 1, 2016 and ending December 31, 2016.

She knew that not everyone has time to read 104 books, so sheset up various levels:

1.  Mad Reviewer: 104 books in one year. (2 books a week all year.)

2.  Crazy Reviewer: 52 books in one year. (1 book a week all year.)

3.  Slightly Sane Reviewer: 26 books in one year. (1 book every fortnight all year.)

4.  Sane Reviewer: 12 books in one year.  (1 book every month all year.)

Of course, I couldn't resist a goal that would declare me a Mad Reviewer, so I went straight for the top. I've now finished my 104th book and review and my challenge is complete. Here are the books read:
