#TBRChallenge! Tote Idea!
So over the last year I have been attempting to get through as many of my TBR books as I can. Its gotten kind of out of control and needs to be taken down ASAP. I did a massive weeding the other month. Where I took an entire day and read a few chapters of each book to see if it was something I was interested in. And I did get through a lot of books. Whoop!!
So after that I was trying to find a good way to get through a massive amount of books before the end of the year. And since my books are all in totes. I had the great idea to just fill one tote with books then blind grab them 5 at a time. And so far that seems to be working well!! Now I am to a lot more on my list than 5 since I added in review books. So I hope that this is going to work well.

TBR Reading Challenge!
My TBR Reading Challenge has pretty much died. I have been getting through books pretty fast but that has mostly been DNFs. I currently have three totes sitting in my room that are full of items and books posted to our Mercari and Pangobook accounts. (you can find those here https://linktr.ee/crossroadreview)

#BookReview: Emerge (Mer Chronicles #1) by Tobie Easton
Synopsis: Lia Nautilus may be a Mermaid, but she’s never lived in the ocean. Ever since the infamous Little Mermaid unleashed a curse that stripped Mer of their immortality, war has ravaged the Seven Seas.
So Lia has grown up in a secret community of land-dwelling Mer hidden among Malibu’s seaside mansions. Her biggest problems are surviving P.E. and keeping her feelings for Clay Ericson in check. Sure, he’s gorgeous in that cocky, leather jacket sort of way and makes her feel like there’s a school of fish swimming in her stomach, but getting involved with a human could put Lia's entire community at risk. So it’s for the best that he’s dating that new girl, right?
That is, until Lia finds out she isn't the only one at school keeping a potentially deadly secret. And this new girl? Her eyes are dead set on Clay, who doesn't realize the danger he's in. If Lia hopes to save him, she’ll have to get closer to Clay than ever. Lia’s parents would totally flip if they found out she was falling for a human boy, but the more time she spends with Clay, the harder it is for Lia to deny her feelings. After making a horrible mistake, Lia will risk everything to stop Clay from falling in love with the wrong girl.

#TBRReadingChallenge: Fail!
Well it has pretty much been a fail this year. I have paired down my massive TBR but I still have a long way to go. I still have around 5 or 6 totes of books to get through and it doesn't look like I will be getting through any of those this year. I am hoping to finish out my Netgalley account so at least those titles are done.

#BookReview: I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies #1) by Pittacus Lore #TakeControlTBR
About the Book:
Nine of us came here. We look like you. We talk like you. We live among you. But we are not you. We can do things you dream of doing. We have powers you dream of having. We are stronger and faster than anything you have ever seen. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books--but we are real.
Our plan was to grow, and train, and become strong, and become one, and fight them. But they found us and started hunting us first. Now all of us are running. Spending our lives in shadows, in places where no one would look, blending in. We have lived among you without you knowing.
But they know.
They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They killed them all.
I am Number Four.
I am next.
