Borrowed from my friend Annette, this is a reading challenge she found... I might have to alter a couple of entries (notes made).
A bit of fun for my reading this year. This can include regular books, Kindle books or audio-books. Each book can clear no more than two entries:
I will link my Goodreads/Booklikes review to each entry for further info or thoughts, and I reserve the right to shuffle things around a bit as long as they fit (the female author thing, especially, I tend to prefer women authors). I will try to not use a book twice if I can help it.
I'm highlighting the ones I have not completed, but ZOMG, it's getting hard for me to read!
