Michele's Book Challenge

[Michele]

I'm going to set a lofty goal of 36 books. The number looks really big until I break it down... Three each month: 2 from (the always growing) to-read shelf, with 1 left for the random/must-read-now find.


Apparently I read more than I thought! Upping my goal for a bigger challenge: from now to next September I hope to read 8 books a month, or 80 books. The real challenge is that at least 4 books each month must come from my insanely large (200+) to-read shelf. Wish me luck!
