[Jenn]

Challenge type: annual
Duration: 1 January - 31 December 2015
Source: personal *
Status:
Categories - 7/10
Books - 8**

* challenge modified from the Nonfiction Challenge at Crazy Challenge Connection; I wasn't quite sure if I wanted an annual challenge (though I may make it a re-occurring annual challenge) - I basically just want to track where my nonfiction falls in a "virtual" library...

** I don't have a specific book goal
