Kate's 2015 Reading Challenge

[Kate]

Last year was the first year that I didn't make my challenge goal, so I'm going to try for the number I didn't reach last year for this year's goal. (120).

001. Wish I Might ~ 2 January

[Kate]

Progress report 1 February, 2015. Uh oh! I'm already two books behind for my goal rate! Better step it up!

Oh, good grief! Now I'm FOUR books behind schedule? Of course, it might help if I read shorter books, rather than glorious, sweeping historical sagas that are 400 plus pages long. Going to give myself one more month to catch up a little, then reevaluating my challenge if I need to.
