100+ Book Challenge

Freda's Voice 100+ Book Challenge 2014 Sign Up

Another new host!  Freda has decided to sponsor her own 100+ Book Challenge and I'm in.  The basic rule--read 100 or more books in 2014.  I think I can do that. Freda has generously participated in some of my challenges, so I'd like to return the favor.  If you'd like to join us, click on the link above.
