READING in 2016

I want to do something fun with reading this year — not just a “how many books can I read” challenge, but a challenge that pushes me to really keep track of what I read and diversify and branch out of my reading comfort zones.  I stumbled on this PopSugar 2016 challenge and I am all in!
