This book may have been 2.5 stars for me. It started out well, but it could have been done much better.

Owntober TBR List
I have decided to join a readathon for the month of October. I picked OWNtober which is a readathon designed to tackle reading books that you already own.
OWNtober is hosted by Books and Munchies, Check out their post for OWNtober here.
Here is a link to the list of all the books I own, both physical and ebook, that I have yet to read on Goodreads: Panda's TBR
Here are the books I am picking for OWNtober:
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han
The You I've Never Known by Ellen Hopkins
I am keeping the TBR conservative since I am also planning on reading 3 books for the Popsugar reading challenge in October as well as the book pick for my local book club, none of which I actually own.
