I haven't set up a challenge in Good Reads, but I've decided that I'm going to keep track of the books I read this year. I am always reading when I have spare time, which isn't as much as I would like. My books all come from Kindle Unlimited, sometimes there are some pretty good ones.
The first book I read this year was Cara's Twelve, by Chantel Seabrook. It seemed like an interesting concept, but the story was very rushed and too much focus on sex. I'm not a prude, but it added nothing to the story.
When it becomes clear that the Elbian throne's heir has found disfavor in the eyes of the goddess, Cara is ordained by blood to take her cousin's place as heir apparent.
One man from each twelve provinces are chosen by the royal council to pledge their lives and swords, as champions and consorts of the future queen. From these men, Cara must choose the future king of Elbia.
But soon, she realizes that not everyone who swore to protect her has noble intentions... and that there are those who would use her as a tool to gain power.
I just started Misthaven: The Complete Trilogy, by J. Battle. It was a little slow getting into it, but it's getting interesting.
In a land of fading Magic, where mankind is threatened from all sides, can a hero be found?
Who will stand against the evil Trytor?
Who will keep the last remaining source of Magic from the grasp of the much-diminished Elvenfolk?
Who will find a way to use the Magic of the Wellstone as a power for good?
The answers to these questions, and many more, can be found within the pages of this rich Fantasy trilogy...
From the man who must save the first-born of a generation, to the man who must prevail against an unbeatable foe. From the Giants who want nothing but free food and ale, to the Crawlord who would sacrifice everything to lay his hand on the Magic of the Wellstone. From the creature still clinging to the last of his humanity, to the boys much too eager to discover the destiny that awaits them – hero, fool, hero?

Or an e-reader. I find they're really easy on your eyes, and you can set the font size and screen brightness to your personal preference.
