My Book Challanges:

As a commitment to reading a lot this next year and as a tiny motivator I have joined in on two book challenges. Our book club at Pretty Paper is just dandy, but I seem to get through the books way fast and wanted some inspiration to keep me reading. I also wanted to put some of the book club books on my lists so that I wouldn't have way too much to read. I will try to use each book in more than one list so that I am not overwhelmed, yes, I know my limits. I have selected two challenges for this year so far. I am deciding on my books for them, so here it goes!
