Just My Life

I just learned of a reading challenge which has been happening since January 2010. The challenge is to read 100 + books in one year. Of course, it is now the end of May. I am going to go for it……I will try to read 100 + books by the end of the year. I am giving myself the advantage of listing the books that I have already read this year, but will list those that I read from now on, as well. The list will be at this page.
