August 10, 2018
Back in 2013 I signed up for the Non-Fiction Adventure, a book challenge on the five-year plan. We were to choose our own goals to meet for the five-year period and/or per year. I just finished my 10th non-fiction book for 2015.
10-Book Goal Met 2013: 12/31/13
10-Book Goal Met 2014: 7/20/14 (23 total over-all)
10-Book Goal Met 2015: 8/7/15 (34 total so far)
Here's a list of the non-fiction books I've read so far (they have been lifted from my over-all list of available non-fiction books and, thus, the numbering appears a bit weird):
My Goal: 50 books Total and 10 Books Each Challenge Year (September thru August)
