Tanya D's 2016 reading challenges

[Tanya D]

Last year was abysmal in terms of reading. I'll have several challenges to hopefully get me in the swing of things. I'm not going to set numbers or make a book list. I'm just going to read with the goals in mind, along with hopefully trimming the physical TBR a bit. I'll probably add challenges/games throughout the year as I join them.
