The Telling Tales Challenge Master Review List

Trying to keep track of what everybody's read for this challenge through individual monthly link ups was getting a bit difficult so I decided it was time to stop being lazy and put all of the reviews into a master list here. It also makes it a lot easier for people to find recommendations etc, and to use for reference purposes in case I decide to host this again next year! I'm just going to link them in order of when they were read rather than trying to do anything more complicated! Apologies for some reviews that are missing; this is because early on some people have linked to their blog rather than the specific review and I am having a bit of a difficult time finding the review for the challenge. If I've missed your review off please just contact me or comment to let me know and I'll add it in!

Also I just wanted to announce that during December, the last month of the challenge, there will be some surprise events happening in order to thank all you lovely people for your participation, so watch this space :-)
