Well, I didn't reach my goal of 50 again this year but I'm okay with that. As I mentioned in earlier posts, I read A LOT this year on account of my Master's Project - just not anything I could count towards the challenge. Here are my December reads:

Read a Book Recommended by Someone You Just Met ~ 12-11-16: Funny in Farsi by Firoozeh Dumas. ( Read more... )

Not much to report.... I started a super long book at the end of July and still am not done with it. I was back at work in August and crazy busy and tired all the time.

1-3-16: The Other Wiseman by Henry vanDyke Read a Book that is Under 150 Page(I don't think this one even hit 100 pages, let alone 150.) My dad told me about this story AGES ago.
