Reading Challenge

2014

This year's host is Gina @ Book Dragon's Lair.  Amy at My Overstuffed Bookshelf has hosted the 150+ challenge the last few years, and is allowing Gina to host this year, with changes :-).

Challenge begins January 1st, 2014 thru December 31, 2014. Books started before the 1st do not count. You can join at anytime.  This time 'round we have three levels to choose from--having sailed along at the 150+ level for a couple of years, I'm going to go ahead and sign up for Level 2.
