52 Books in 52 Weeks Challenge

Read 52 Books in 52 Weeks Challenge

January 1, 2015 – December 31, 2015

Hosted by Robin at My Two Blessings

 And she says:

Are you ready for another round of Reading 52 books in 52 Weeks? (I am!) The rules are very simple. The goal is to read one book (at least) a week for 52 weeks. Make the year easy and casual or kick it up by exploring new to you authors and genres. Challenge yourself to read at least some classics or delve into that chunkster (more than 500 pages) you always wanted to tackle. Do you have books gathering dust on the shelves just waiting to be read? Then now is the time. The goal is to read 52 books. How you get there is up to you. 

This will be my fourth year joining in.  I generally have no problem reading at least one book a week...so this is one of my slam dunk challenges.  I will list my books below as I read them.  If you'd like to join as well, just click on the link below the picture.
