I’m going to try a second challenge that I failed at a couple years ago. I typically read a lot about Europe. So this should be a no brainer. I learned the last time, though, that maybe I read more set in fictional spaces that are meant to be Europe, rather than actual Europe. So we’ll see. My aim is still for the FIVE STAR (DELUXE ENTOURAGE) ( Read more... )

I’m about to make my post of a placeholder for my 2017 books read list, so that means challenges!

I failed miserably when I did this one a few years ago, so maybe this will be a second shot at it!

Here’s my placeholder for 2016 books read. My goals for this year are to read more from my TBR piles in my apartment - I need those stacks to go down.

I didn’t even make significant progress in my multi-year Around the World in 80 Books reading challenge ( Read more... )

One last challenge for this year. One I have not done in previous years, but seems like it will get me through a few books on my TBR list.

Although I didn’t manage to finish this challenge last year (could have… just was missing one category, but I didn’t make an effort to find a book that would have matched it), I’m going to go ahead and sign up for this one again. There really is no reason I shouldn’t be able to finish this with ease.
