Challenge Complete: Birthday Month

Birthday Month Reading Challenge 

Hosted by Lois at You, Me, & a Cup of Tea

Lois set us the challenge to read a book each month by an author whose birthday was in that month. I just read a short story collection by Rex Stout to claim December and have finished the challenge. See my list below.
