Welcome, Ladies! :D
Yes but as soon as I put a certain book down for the challenge, for some reason I just never get round to reading it! I'm always in the mood to read something else :)

Moving Madness Challenge
As many of you may know, I recently relocated from Japan back to the US - the middle of the California desert to be specific. There's always a certain amount of insanity that occurs when moving. I thought it'd be fun to turn that madness into a reading challenge. :D
