The 2016 Popsugar Reading Challenge is well under way over here & so far, I've truly enjoyed almost everything I've read! (Catch up here) I'm 13 books in...only 5 behind schedule! However, this year I've found finding books to fit the categories to be a bit more challenging than last years. So I need some HELP. We have a honeymoon coming up which means two 16 hour flights as well as 10 days of sitting on the beach doing NOTHING. So I need some good books!
