I am so in for this! I have been agonizing for days about how to pick the next books to read, and I just can't decide. I realized letting randomness decide is really the best way to just get through my TBR shelf because I am waaayyyyy too indecisive.

So, here's my goal of 10 for 2015!

Total Completed: 1/10

58. Alice Walker: A Life by Evelyn White
89. People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks Read 9/9/15
26. Divisadero by Michael Ondaatje
129. Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden
70. Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War by Andrew Bacevich
53. Widening Circles: A Memoir by Joanna Macy
83. Invisible Life by Lynn E. Harris
87. Possession by A. S. Byatt
116. The Tunnel by Ernesto Sábato
149. China: A New History by John King Fairbank

Ok that is so much fun, I feel so much better already! This is such a great mix of books, but without any pressure to make a decision. I have a feeling I might have to do this again to finish my challenge for the rest of the year.
