Reading Challenges

Pile of booksSo as I finish each blog with a note on what categories the books fit in for the two challenges that I’m doing I thought I’d give you a quick over view of the two challenges and how I’m doing.
This’ll go up at the end of the month’s reviews as just an idea of what I’m reading.

I read 8 books in February, I’m hoping to have them all up by mid April at the latest but let’s see what happens.

Please stick with me and if you’re doing the either of these challenges and are have recommendations let me know. Even if you’re not doing the challenge if a category immediately makes you think of a book tell me and I’ll probably pencil it in. I’ve currently got lots of blanks for things planned.
