Challenge Complete: Book Monopoly
Thanks to the challenge temptress, Joanne at Littlequeen Rules, I signed up for one of what seems like thousands of challenges hosted at Goodreads at goodreads @ CrazyChallengeConnection. Since the Monopoly Challenge is an on-going challenge, my yearly commitment was to read at least 10 books each year that fulfill a move in the game. I have now completed my 10 moves for 2014 and declare my commitment complete. Here is the lists of moves:
