I'm part of a Facebook Book Club, and we just started doing Book Battles in October. I managed to get my reading goals for 2017 met now. I'll be doing more in 2018 and using them here as well

My goal was to read 150 books, which I've done. I also wanted to read some Banned Books, which I did as well. :)

I'm banned on Review Team Page. A banned book can read me now - not the other way around. 😣
