  14. I've found so many books that I must read next year through everyone's challenge lists. Personally, I'm really looking forward to Haven by Kristi Cook, A Touch Mortal by Leah Clifford, Bad Taste in Boys by Carrie Harris, Possession by Elana Johnson, Born at Midnight by C.C. Hunter, Awaken by Kate Kacvinsky, and a ton more. I know I won't get around to all the books I want to read and I'll just keep adding to the list, but I'm still looking forward to all of them.

    Thanks for this giveaway Danielle!
