Books and challenges for 2014

[Stephanie]

OK, so it took me a while to start my corner. And the truth is I didn't read much in January and February and I have some catching up to do to accomplish my goal of 50 books this year. So far I've read 6.
Here I will post a short review of the books I've read and the challenges I decided to take on this year.

My first yearly challenge was the Randomizer one because my To Read list is pretty extense and I always end up reading something that's not on it. So my 12 (1 per month)randomizer books for this year are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.

Another challenge I'm trying this year is the Dewey Challenge. I am finding it quite hard to find books that I want to read in each category so I've stretched it a bit since I still want to read stuff I actually like. So here's my list and I will post any updates about the books I end up reading.
000-099 Computer Ready Player one
100-199 Philosophy Steppenwolf
200-299 Religion A history of God
300-399 Sociology ThePower of Myth
400-499 German
500-599 Sciences The Selfish Gene
600-699 Steel, Guns, Germs?
700-799 Arts Concerning the Spiritual in Art
800-899 Literature
900-999 History Princesses behaving badly

For some reason I am way behind on this year's challenge. 18 books behind according to Goodreads. At the beginning of the year I chose the challenges I wanted to complete and chose books that fit into each category.Since I wanted to read 50 books, I figured I should be reading 4 books per month. That way I chose 4 challenges that I could do everey month. These are: the monthly group read for this group, the Monopoly challenge, Listopia challenge, Randomizer, String Theory, and Dewey Challenge. On the next posts I1l share which books I chose for each challenge and which ones I have actually read, maybe I'll add a short review.
