The 2017 New Release Challenge is hosted by Lexxie at Unconventional Book Views and Stormi at Books, Movies, Reviews Oh My.

Previous quarterly recaps:
- First Quarterly Recap – January, February and March – 21 new releases read
- Second Quarterly Recap – April, May and June – 20 new releases read
- Third Quarterly Recap – July, August and September – 18 new releases read

You did fantastic getting your challenge goal and then some. I went over on this challenge, too. I never realized just how many new releases I read. I’ve enjoyed reading your thoughts on several of these and hope to read them in the future.
Yay, that you are doing it again. I’m doing the challenge in 2018, too. We’ll cheer each other on. 🙂
Happy New Year, Lola.

That’s what I like about this challenge, it really brings into perspective how many new releases I read. Neat that you also went over your goal with this one.
I hope we’ll both do well with the 2018 version as well.
A really good haul of books and congratulations on the number of books you have reviewed.
Thanks! I am happy with how well I did with this challenge 🙂
I usually read the new releases from series that I’ve been reading for a long time. I don’t know how many I read this year as I didn’t keep track.

I only started keeping track when I joined this challenge, it’s fun to see how many new release I read.
