Challenge completed on November 26
I am always blown away by how many challenges there are. A new twist on the 'so many books so little time' meme.
ReplyDeleteNice! About how many books do you hope to read next year?
ReplyDeleteJamie how many books a year do you read? I am jealous of the time. I miss reading more. My book is almost done, too bad it's not so it could be on your list to read a blogger book :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat is your book called?
DeleteI have also been working on books. You can read about it on my blog.
Also, books can cross over to different challenges.
