52 Books in 52 Weeks

Read 52 Books in 52 Weeks Challenge

January 1, 2016 – December 31, 2016

Hosted by Robin at My Two Blessings

The rules are simply. Just read one book per week for a total of 52 books in the year. This will be my fifth 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.
