**Bam's 2016 Reading Challenge: 187 books**

[Bam cooks the books]

I've added up all the challenges I've agreed to and they come to 187 books. Last year I read 158 so that's quite a big jump. We'll see if it's doable!

I have created a personal challenge that I thought would be fun and am calling it 'USA-geography.' I am planning to read one book a week from each state, and adding DC and Puerto Rico to make 52.

Congrats on finishing your first books of 2016! Your state challenge is very interesting - I look forward to watching your progress. Good luck!
