So a few years ago I signed up for COYER on a whim and I'm really glad I did. I've met some truly wonderful bloggers and have this challenge to thank for one of my best blogging buds - Stormi. The rules for 2017 are a little more lax and there are two directions a reader can go. They can either come up with a reading list or do a "read everything" version. I've decided to do the reading list because I'm a glutton for punishment. Seriously, that's how it feels after working and reworking this list for several weeks now. COYER consists of more than just a challenge though. There's daily interaction on a COYER Facebook page and several twitter parties as well. HERE is the link for the complete rules.
So I had to come up with a list of 30 books to read from over the next 3 months which really felt like I was creating a 3 month TBR - and it was hard. The only plus is that for every 5 you read, you can add 5 more. That's the saving grace for mood readers (or people constantly asking for review copies) if you ask me. Anyway, here's my final list:
1. Missing - Kelley Armstrong
2. Saga Vol. 6
3. Skitter - Ezekiel Boone
4. The Right Side - Spencer Quinn
5. Summer at the Dog & Duck - Jill Steeples
6. Final Girls - Riley Sager
7. See What I Have Done - Sarah Schmidt
8. Only the Dead Know Brooklyn - Chris Vola
9. Murder on Black Swan Lane - Andrea Penrose
10. Gork the Teenage Dragon - Gabe Hudson
11. Lost Boy - Christina Henry
12. A Kiss Before Doomsday - Laurence McNaughton
13. Strange Alchemy - Gwenda Bone
14. Gwendy's Button Box - Stephen King
15. Hollywood Homicide - Kellye Garrett
16. MAD - Chloe Esposito
17. The Luster of Lost Things - Sophie Chen Keller
18. The Coven - Chrissy Lessey
19. Empty Threat - Danny Bell
20. Rise of the Sea Witch - Stacey Rourke
21. Slither - Melody Steiner
22. Spill Zone - Scott Westerfeld
23. Of Jenny and the Aliens - Ryan Gebhart
24. Shark Island - Chris Jameson
25. Kiss Me Kill You - Larissa C. Hardesty
26. Slaves of the Switchboard of Doom - Bradley W. Schenck
27. A New Leash on Love - Debbie Burns
